Answer 2

If you have your Wii Operations Manual, read pages pages 51 through 58. There are three ways to do this. You connect to the internet through the Wii Settings and Data Management menu, and the internet options contained. The most inexpensive way is if you already have a wireless modem. Your Wii comes with built-in hardware which allows you to connect to wireless internet. You can conduct a search for internet connections and connect to them very easily. If your Wii can't connct to the internet connection you chose, and returns an error code, check pages 70 and 71 in your Wii Operations Manual. If you still can't see anything wrong, the problem is most likely not with your Wii, but with the internet settings on your computer. Unfortunatlety, PCs are much more complex and have more variation than Wiis, so I can't help you there. If you still want a wireless connection, but don't have a wireless modem, never fear! You don't have to buy an expensive modem because most stores carry a Wii Wi-Fi USB connector, which allows you to have a wireless connection directly from you internet, to your computer, to your Wii! Finaly, if you for some reason are unable to achive or don't want a wireless connection, you can make a wired one with a Wii LAN adapter. I'm sorry about the lack of detail in the last two connection option, but I used the first one and I am currently unable to access my Wii to get a first hand view of how to connect to the internet, but that is all covered in pages pages 51 through 58 of your Wii Operations Manual. If you are currently unable to use your Wii Operations Manual, I'm sure you could Google it and find a PDF or something that would help.

Answer 5

i found this on the internet

1. First, boot up your Wii (turn it on) and press A at the Health Safety screen.

2. 2 At the bottom-left is a button labelled "Wii". Rest your cursor over it and press A.

   • Two buttons will appear, labelled Data Management and the other Wii Settings. Choose Wii Settings.

3. 3 Press + on the remote or click the Next arrow on-screen to get to screen 2. Click Internet.

4. 4 If Parental Controls have been set, enter your PIN and click OK. If not, the Internet Menu should come up after pressing A.

5. 5 Choose "New Connection".

   • Select Connection 1.
     • If your Wii has previously been connected to the Internet, it will come up generally under Connection 1. You can overwrite these settings by choosing it and clicking Clear Settings.

6. 6 Select Wireless Connection from the list.

7. 7 Select Search for Access Points.

8. 8 Choose your access point.

   • If your access point is red or yellow, the Wii is too far from the router. Bring either the router or the Wii closer and retry.
   • If your access point is green, it is correctly set up. Rest your cursor over it and press A.

9. 9 If you have a password (security code) then you will be prompted to enter it.

   • Enter the code if required using the on-screen keyboard or a USB keyboard connected to a USB port on the back of the console.

10. 10 When prompted to save settings, click OK, then OK again.

11. 11 You will be connected to the Internet and the Wii will perform a system update, which can take up to 30 minutes.

12. 12 Once the update has finished, the Wii console will ask you to read an agreement. If you are under the age of 13, ask an adult to read the agreement and accept or decline.

    • If you accepted, the Wii system reboots itself. You may now set up your Wii Message Board (emails), go to the Wii Shop Channel, use Mingling on the Mii Plaza, use Internet games such as Super Smash Bros. BRAWL and more.
    • If something is incorrect here, or if something is left out, please send me (adamdmasi) a message on my Talk Page or read the grey Wii Operations Manual - Channels and Settings.
