Wii Wireless connection HELP

Did you install the WEP key that is set up in your router? I'm assuming that's the password you're talking about. Also, make sure you

Here are the steps:

Go to Options (bottom left on the Wii Menu)

Select Wii Settings

Click on the Right arrow (middle of the right side of the screen) to get to the next page

Select Internet

Select one of the Connections (e.g. “Connection 1″)

Select Wireless

Because I have a hidden SSID, I could not use the default Auto-find. Consequently I have to do the Manual Setup

Enter the SSID code (aka “the name of the wireless network”)

Obtain the WEP from your router

Enter the WEP key

Nintento even has a good step by step tutorial at http://techforums.nintendo.com/nins/board/message?board...

Remember, the Wii can only use WEP or WPA security. If your router is setup differently, then it might not work.

Thanks for the detailed response


I tried settting this up 3 times before and it kept giving me an error code. (I'm WPA)

Super Bowl Sunday I gave it another shot, did everything the same, this time it worked.


Who knows...



PS: I thought I was pretty good at the Tiger Woods '10 game untill I ran into those boys with over 500 pro matches under their belt. Blew me outta the water!

Good instructions, i would also add the following.

If it stops working for no apparent reason DONT CHANGE THE SETTINGS. Simply turn off the wii, pull the power out of the wall wait 30 seconds and stick it back in, hey presto it works again. My wii does this every couple of months, not sure why.
