Ok so how do i? I have a wireless router (this one in fact). It’s sitting exactly next to my Wii (along with my PS3 and 360). So how do i get it to connect?

im preaty sure you just go to settings, wiiconect24, and set it up, it will search for the nearest routers(multiple) and give you a list and how good they would work with your wii. you just select the one that you are using. and it will do a connection test, after that you just click use this one on whichever # you put it on. and your done

Setting the wii on the wireless router is easy, once you get what skull kid said done you can get the other channels free (sadly since you got it just now the internet channel may cost you $5). Everything else is free.

When you have the shop channel you can look at avaible downloadable games for all systems too.

ok so i tried wat skull said but it said

“Error 55252” or somethin like that..it said i couldn’t connect. I entered the password and everything too. It said to call Nintendo.


I noticed the thing Silver told me costing $30 at Walmart (they didn’t have RE4 unfortunatly). There were two thibngs costing about 430....one was a Lan Adapter or something like that...the other was a Wireless USB Flash.

Question, does the lan adapter turn a USB into a Ethernet cable? If so then that’s wat i want.

there is the “Lan Adapter” for $30 silver told me about. I remmebr reading it and it said that it turns ur USB into a Ethernet so u can plug it into ur Modem/Router.

Silver is this ture?

no....besides that Lan Adpater thing sounds kinda good...it said it was faster than wireless (it’s directly connected).

ummm here’s wat i went to........


I’m in the screen where it says 3 internets and u can choose for them to be wireless or wired. I choose wireless...choose my router (only one on the list...cause i’m in hikland lol), entered our password, saved the settings, and choose to test connection. Then i got teh “Error 5255” and the “Could not Connect” crap.
