Wi-Fi Help

[tyler]

I need a little help... i've been trying to get my wii hooked up to wi-fi, but i don't have a clue what i'm doing.... any help for someone who's clueless with computers?

Got you dude, so is it wireless or is it wired?

Wireless

[Coty]

Okay, so basically what you want to do is make sure your Wireless Device is running ( I have a Linksys you might have a Netgear or something else I don't know, it doesn't matter) so now what your going to do is go on to your Wii, look for a settings option. Once you find the basic settings menu look for either wireless connection or something of that nature. Anything that could possibly deal with being hooked up to Wi-Fi. Once you find that it should have an ability for you to search for networks to join, attempt to find yours. That is how you traditionally connect any console to Wi-Fi. Try that and if you can't find something or if it doesn't work then post back on here what your troubles are and I will try to further assist you.

It says:
Error Code 51330
Unable to connect to internet. Choose internet settings, and confirm your connection.

[Coty]

Okay, so this error code is traditionally caused by you needing a password to get into the router. Try to put in your password for your router, and if you don't think it has a password make sure you check it to make sure it doesn't.

Mkay. i went through, did everything, it worked. but a message came up saying that it may cause immediate or delayed inoperability to the system. is that just like a legel thing they do, just in case, or should i be concerned?

That just means you may run into some lag (delay) while doing things. Shouldn't be a problem.

Alright. cool. Thanks guys. I think i got the first non-official post in.

[Branden]

No problem.
Thanks to Coty for helping you on this issue while I was away.

[Coty]

No Problem Branden, always up to helping a friend. And I'm glad I was able to help you Tyler.

[tyler]

Now, i wonder how many games i have actually use it.....

[Branden]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a great one. But that's getting off-topic and any Wii game discussion belongs here.

Edit: I moved this topic to the appropriate help forum.
