    There are three ways to get internet on your Wii. You can do it through a router (recommended), you can get a Wi-fi USB and put it in your computer's router, or you can use a LAN adapter.

    Look here for more information:

    Next, watch this video or simply follow my instructions below:

    http://us.wii.com/connect/

    1. Click the Wii options button in the bottom left corner on your starting screen

    2. Choose wii settings

    3. Scroll to page 2 using the arrow on the right

    4.Click internet

    5.Choose connection settings

    6. Click on connection 1, 2 or 3

    7. Choose wireless connection (Or wired if you're using a LAN adapter)

    8. Click "search for an access points"

    9. Click OK

    10. Choose the from the connections your Wii has found (Look for your connection. You might have to provide some sort of password)

    If all goes well, you'll have to click OK a couple more times, wait for it to test the connection, then the Wii will reset itself and then you'll have internet!

    Good luck!

    The Wii only works on wireless internet. If you do not have wireless, you can goto your favorite retailer and buy a Wi-Fi USB Connector. It's a USB device that plugs into your computer and will allow your Wii (or DS) to connect to the internet using it.

    1. get a usb connector, or a wireless router.

    2. go to wii options.

    3. go to "internet connection"

    4. choose what kind of connection you want to use

    ( like AOSS or "connect to yyour usb connector")

    (need to install the software for the usb connector)

    5. finally, the wii will test the connection

    6. DONE!

    You need to have a wireless router. With a wireless router, the Wii searches for the signal, then automatically connects.

    You first need a wireless router that is connected to your modem. Then you have to scan for your router on the Wii. I think it is under settings.

    Under the main wii menu it can be set up... make sure to set the name of your router and the encryption code & type. Shouldn't be too hard, or at least any harder than on the computer.

    Well, you fail.

    What errors are you getting? Are you trying wireless or wired? If it's wireless, try changing your router channel to 6 or 11. That was my issue when I set mine up. Do that on your router settings page.
