Is anyone here having trouble updating their Wii system?

For me, I'm getting really frustrated. For the past few days, I've been, on a whim, trying to update my Wii system, just to check out the SD card update you know. To see if it's any good, whether or not I'd like it, nothing too big.

However, each time I try to update my system, I get the error code 32007. What's really annoying is the fact that the update goes from about a quarter to the halfway line when it just stops whenever it wants to, like some sentient being, and gives me that error code. I've been getting really paranoid, thinking that Nintendo or my Internet provider just likes to toy with me and get me riled up. But I've tried the online on games like Mario Kart Wii, and it's working perfectly.

Now I'd just like to know if anyone else hasn't been able to download the update. Because if anyone else is having trouble than I can rest easy thinking it's probably because Nintendo's servers are overcrowded or something. But if I'm the only one... then oh dear. Also, while I have an American Wii, I do not live in America, so please don't give me stuff like "turn your channel to 1 or 11" because I don't even know what that means. I don't know how the Internet works over in the States, but the only channels I'm aware of are the ones on TV. And due to this, Nintendo's customer service isn't going to do me much good (as in, no good whatsoever) so that is a moot point as well.

I'm really hoping that I'm worrying about nothing here, so if anyone can help out please :) ...

Try it anyway. ;)

The internet works the same regardless of what country you're in. Your Wii is either connected via a wireless router, Nintendo's wireless USB connector, or Nintendo's wired ethernet connector. If you didn't buy any special equipment from Nintendo, then you're using a wireless router, and the link I gave gives instructions on what you can do.

Have you downloaded an update successfully before? If so, you can rule out numbers 2 and 3 in the first set of questions from Nintendo's site. If not, then try each suggestion under "wireless router." If nothing seems to work, then it's possible that it's a server issue on Nintendo's part.

try moving your wii a few feet closer to your wirless acess point for a better and faster connection speed, it may help.

Thanks for the help, but I've already gone to Nintendo's website, otherwise I wouldn't have posted here. And the fact that I am not in the US is signified by the fact that my wireless router's model number is not in their database, so I couldn't try that "switch the channel" thing even if I wanted to. I'd love to be able to ask around to see if anyone else is having problems, but no one else actually has a Wii system... It's a different culture altogether here.

And the whole moving your internet closer is pointless here as well. My setup is having the TV, Wii, Vonage phone and the Linksys router all in one place, all next to each other. It's not a matter of bringing them closer.

And yes I have most certainly been able to download Wii updates perfectly back in the day. But now that error code is really annoying me, for as I have stated the process actually starts and reaches quarter way before just ending abruptly and giving me the 32007 error code. I mean the online still works! Well, at least Mario Kart Wii... Super Smash Brothers Brawl doesn't have like anyone to battle. The spectaor works, but it's like there's no one around when I want to click on any type of brawl. Perplexes me it does.

The best thing I can say about the connection is that when I click on my computer, the "Activity" part goes as follows:

Packets Sent: 15, 206 (and counting... but barely)

Packets Received: 9, 932 (also counting, barely)

Now I could have sworn that back then, the number of packets (whatever these things are) were around 1,000,000 or so, and I have a Wireless connection with a speed of 54.0 Mbps (if someone could tell me what that stands for), which has never done me wrong before.

No guys, I don't think you understand... *sigh*

Alright fine, let's see if we can give this channel 1 or 11 thing a go. Now first off... What the heck does that mean??? You seem to be forgetting that I don't know anything about the internet, and have no idea how to do any of what you just said. I mean for starters, am I to work on the computer? Is this current pc that I'm typing on the place where I can alter my router's channels?

The Linksys router that I have does not have channels on them, if that's what you think. The only thing it displays are flashing green light dots. Again I don't know how the internet works in America, but that's what it's like here.

Now, I'm hoping you all can explain everything to me as easily as possible, and to make each step basic and simple, as well as to always keep in mind that I have no knowledge of anything to do with this, so don't assume I'll always know what you're talking about. I appreciate you guys helping me out.

And again, has everyone been able to download the update succesfully? Mine gets to the quarter way mark before that infamous error quote that makes me roar with rage.

Alright, I have a Linksys router too, and mine works perfectly. It takes 10 minutes to update, but in the end, I get the update. I don't really know what's wrong, then. Try unplugging your router, or disconnect from the router on your Wii and reconnect. Maybe it'll work then.

My wii is updating just fine.

First you need to enter to your router settings and configure some things there, to do this: - Open your Web Browser (IE, Opera, Firefox,etc). - Type on the adress bar http://192.168.1.1/ This will take you to a popup box which asks you to enter a username and password. - The default username is either blank or admin and the default password is admin . Once you are past the login screen, you are able to access (and change) a plethora of configuration options for your router. - Now go to the Wireless tab and under the Basic Wireless Settings there should be the option to change the Wireless Channel. - Change it to either 1 or 11 . - Press save settings. Done. Close your web browser and check if now you can update your Wii.

Now, just as a reminder, seeing as how I can't stress this enough, I don't live in the US, so most techniques won't work with me.

Now, there isn't really an address that's 192.168.1 is there? I copy pasted what you typed into the address bar of both mozilla firefox and internet explorer, but all I get is a "page that cannot be displayed" type stuff. Are you sure you typed it correctly?

Now, what I did was due to having an IP address of 192. and ending in .68, I changed the .68 to 1 or 11. All that did was make the interent not work, so I doubt it could have worked with the Wii. Plus I didn't know what I was doing when I went to properties of my Internet protocol (done by clicking on the wireless computer image at the bottom of the screen that displays internet connection level) so I just exited and am not going to boher with it until I have more knowledge of what I'm doing. Also since the Wii is turned off and it's nighttime now, it would not do to turn it on until tomorrow at least.

Your best bet at this point is to contact your local internet service provider and pay them to send out a technician who understand how to operate a computer and networking. The last post was very detailed in how to change your wireless channel and if that didn't help then there is nothing else to try. I would hate to see what happens if we tried to have you port foward :lol:

Well, no pop-up box appeared after I typed in that address bar. Does anyone know another way? This is very perplexing I must admit, just what is going on here?

Well, would you believe it, I typed in the address that's shown in the default gateway (should I put the number, do you need to know that?) and it did bring up a pop-up box.

However, I don't know what my username and password are. I tried your suggestion by inputing admin both times, but it didn't work. Then I tried a number of variations of the name of my wireless connection and the company but to no avail. I guess we're stuck. Thanks for all the help anyway, I suppose if I ever do get the password, I'll be sure to use your technique.

Great news everyone! After countless hours of experimenting and messing with the wireless connection settings, I've finally been able to get it straightened out! (for now at least). And it's about time too, I mean everything else was working, there was no reason for the delay. But now I finally have incentive to check out my Wii games again, maybe finish up some that I've begun a long time ago (Super Mario Galaxy for instance)

Thanks to everyone who tried to help, especially SER69, who continued to help throughout and not give up on me so easily.
