Need help with Wii Internet after softmod, multiple error codes

So I followed the "Mod any Wii guide" and used the letterbomb option. Took about 30 minutes last night, and worked great so I went to bed. Woke up this morning, tried to get on and use the homebrew browser, but it said something along the lines of "can't connect". So I checked my internet settings, and weirdly, none of my 3 internet settings were chosen as in use. So I chose the one for my home network and started the connection test. then all of this happened:

connection test takes about 1 minute, and then gives me error code 52231.
I check nintendo website, try to troubleshoot that error, and by doing so, i get multiple errors (at different times) :52230,52031, 51031, etc

in addition to messing with wii settings, I also tried:
changing router bandwidth, SSID, password protection type, channel, firewall settings, portforwarding...etc.

I'm worried that the softmod had some effect on my wii's wifi adapter. I searched the forums and didn't see very many people with problems like mine, so I might just be paranoid.

any help would be appreciated.

wii information:
System menu 4.3u
only things installed are from the "softmod any wii guide"
external hard drive attached with some of my game backups.
SD card 2 gig sandisk in slot, only has usb loader channels on it.
no other devices attached

You most likely just have the settings wrong.
I've never heard of the softmod messing with anyone's internet connection


One easy solution if you can't fix it would be to get a USB to ethernet adapter and plug your wii directly into your router without the wifi.
You will get a much better connection that way

Delete your internet settings and try again. Did you mess with your region settings?

young@heart: Yeah I tried that and it worked, the only problem is that the router is on the first floor of my house, and the wii is supposed to be on the second D:

@mauifrog: yeah i reset all three of my connections, and tried manually setting the connection settings on one, and trying automatic settings on the other. neither worked, but they both had different errors DX

And I didn't mess with my region settings, followed your guide and figured I didn't need to mess with the region settings since I don't have any non US region games. (btw your guide was awesome, concise and straightforward).

I'm beginning to think it might have been a coincidence that this happened right after I softmodded. My Wii is very old (one of the first) maybe it just pooped out on me?

Are any other wifi devices in your house seeing and working with your router?

yep. I even asked my friend to bring over his Wii to test if it was some kind of incompatibility with the router( a stretch since it worked before), but that worked fine :confused:.

If I try to redo the softmod, is it possible that it will help? I'm kind of running out of ideas D:

At this time I would not try anything with the wii. You could try a different wifi channel, try to disable encryption, try to move the wii closer to the router. Give it a day or two of testing. The wii will not go online unless it passes its connection test with nintendo. This connection test can fail for many reasons unrelated to your wii. I have had failed connection test many many times and they have resolved, usually I change my wifi encryption or just wait, but it could just be random bad luck. Post back with your results, I think it will sort out. Best of luck.

Will do. I'll post back on saturday (or sooner if it works :D) with my results. thanks for all the help guys.
