Wii Will Not Connect to WFC

The Nintendo Wii is capable of connecting to the Internet wirelessly via the Wi-Fi Connection, or WFC. In order to connect to the WFC, you will need a wireless router; you can then change the settings on your Wii to test the connection to the WFC and use the connection to browse the Internet, get news updates and play against other players in certain games.

Things You'll Need

• Wireless router

Instructions

1. Turn on your Nintendo Wii and make sure that your wireless router is turned on.

2. Go to the "Wii Settings" menu in the main screen and choose "Internet," then select "Connection Settings."

3. Click on "Connection 1," then select "Wireless Connection." Select "Search for an Access Point" and the Wii will locate your wireless router. Choose your connection from the list of access points and enter the network key and password if you have a secure connection.

4. Select "OK" to save the wireless settings, then select "OK" again to test the connection. Wait for the test to finish; if the connection was successful, you will be prompted to install updates on your Wii. Select "Yes" to proceed with the updates.

5. Go back to the Wii's main menu; you will now be able to play games online and access the Internet using the established connection with your wireless router.
