Welcome to Gaia! ::

ok whenever i try basic brawl i wait forever and ever and i cant seem to find anyone ( it worked only once or twice). but when i look on youtube i see people find others very quickly ..could someone tell me whats wrong ?

A How-To to fixing your brawl lag!

(Note: If you've ever accessed your router before, you can skip to step 3)

1) Find your router model number. If you have a Linksys, it's on the bottom of your router. In my case, it's WCG200, so using nintendos router look-up guide, I can get into my router settings by clicking on the ISP number! The nintendo Rouuter help thingy can be found here.

2) Once you've found your router number, and you enter your ISP number into your web address: "Please enter your Username and Password." Oookay, how do we get past this? Well assuming someone hasn't set up a password protection, here's what you do:

Username: Leave it alone (As in, don't type anything ;_icon_wink.gif
Password: admin

And if it'll work, you'll go to your router settings page! You're in! If not, the window will pop back up and ask, which means A) Your router is password/username protected or B) You misspelled Admin or typed in the username box.

3) Finally, the last step! You should be under the WEP key settings and numbers. If not, click the blue Wireless tab. And then you should find a link which reads Basic Wireless Settings or something. Once you click that, you'll see your Routers name, Channels, and other fun things. What we want is the router channel. Set it to 1 or 11. Save your settings, and you are DONE!

And thats all you need to do! Fish tested this with me, so he can back me up on this. A word of note: DO NOT mess with anything on your router settings except for the Router Channel. Unless you know what you're doing, you could screw something up. If you know what you're doing, have at it. If not, dont mess with anything. You've been warned.

Happy Brawling! Any questions, ask them here or PM me!

Small Update:
This will simply fix YOUR computer. If you play in a Wifi match with a Friend and it lags, despite it working just fine and your router channel is set to 1 or 11 etc. etc Then the lag is because A) They don't have their channel set to 1 or 11 or B) They live very far away from you. And of course it COULD be Nintendo's servers, but I haven't had any problems since I changed my channel to 1 or 11.

there nothing wrong with my router. smash server is not good
