Очень часто возникают вопросы у свежеиспеченных владельцев wii как же ее подключить к интеренету. Попробую снять максимум вопросов этой короткой статьей.
Вариантов подключения всего 2. Проводной и беспроводной. С проводным все ясно — втыкаем адаптер в usb-порт wii и в него ethernet-кабель. Но мы подробно рассмотрим только беспроводное подключение
Главное условие — в настройках приставки выбираете на данный момент страну «United Kingdom»
Беспроводное подключение также возможно двумя путями — с помощью Nintendo wi-fi connector или с помощью точки доступа
Способ подключения с Nintendo wi-fi connector (подходит для windows 2000, windows XP Prof, windows 2k3)
Этот способ удобен тем, кто хочет чтобы его wii выходила в интернет совместно с настольным компьютером. Что для этого надо сделать:
1. Втыкаем Nintendo wifi в usb-порт компьютера (НЕ ПРИСТАВКИ!)
2. Устанавливаем для него драйвера (появляется дополнительное соединение)
3. Открываем свойства соединения с интернетом (это может быть vpn-соединение или же обычное подключение по проводу)
4. Открываем закладку «дополнительно»
5. Ставим галку «Разрешить другим…»
6. Если появляется выпадающий список — выбираем там подключение для которого будет доступен интернет
7. Жмем ok
8. На интерфейсе Nintendo wi-fi у нас появляется адрес 192.168.0.1 — его надо будет прописать на wii в качестве default gateway и dns-server
9. Настраиваем сам коннектор, задавай шифрацию и ключ шифрования
9. Заходим в настройки приставки, там в internet settings и ищем точку доступа.
10. Прописываем ip-адрес руками (скажем 192.168.0.2 и маску подсети 255.255.255.0), а также адреса default gateway и dns-server, ключ шифрации
11. Проверяем что все работает
Соединение с использованием точки доступа
1. Настраиваем точку доступа так чтобы на ней был интернет (с нее пинговался адрес скажем www.ru)
2. Настраиваем на точке dhcp-сервер, который будет выдавать ip-адрес (из той же подсети что и точка доступа) а также default gateway, который прописан на самой точке (ВНИМАНИЕ! В качестве default gateway точку прописывать можно только в том случае, если она является маршрутизатором, в противном случае этого делать нельзя)
3. Настраиваем wi-fi, прописывая ssid, шифрацию, выбирая 11 канал
4. Настраиваем приставку аналогично вышеизложенному, за исключением того что ip-адрес и dns-server ставим «получать автоматически»
5. Проверяем что все работает
Applies to:
Wii, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL

Hacking Wii seems to be asking me to update despite being on 4.3 already

Roughly how it’s played out is:
- Attempt to launch Netflix, encounter an error that prompts me to ensure the network connections is established.
- After verifying the connection is fine, my Wii prompts me to update my system — despite the fact that I’m fully up to date in everyway as far as I am aware.
- I also got the code 11172 as part of this prompt.
- Still can’t launch Netflix after doing this several times and restarting my Wii itself.
Additionally, some of my homebrew programs have stopped working — my emulators cannot detect any games, my USB Loaders freeze if I try to launch certain backups, etc. Though this may be due to my SD card/external HDD encountering issues rather than a problem on the Wii’s end, so I intend to examine both later to see if any of my files have somehow become corrupt on them before jumping to conclusions.
Anyone know what might be a solution to the Netflix issue though? Is updating liable to brick my Wii — keeping in mind I have PriiLoader installed, a NAND backup, and the other standard precautions already taken?
I really have no clue if the supposedly needed update is what’s causing my issues with Netflix, or what may be the problem.

Code 11172 indicates a successful connection test to your wireless network. Whenever you reconnect your wii to Wi-Fi — it will always prompt you for an update, regardless of your wii’s firmware being up to date or not. I personally wouldn’t recommend accepting this update; it may lead to some issues with IOSs.
If you’re having issues with booting up games via USB loaders, homebrew apps not loading, and emulators not detecting your external memory — then it’s very likely you have some stubbed IOSs. However, make sure to examine all files/data on your SD and USB device for corrupted files, too. I would recommend using an app on homebrew for checking whether or not you have stubbed IOSs (hopefully you could boot it).
Here’s a pretty good version: http://www.hacksden.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=149
If you run into these 5 stubbed ISOs, don’t fret, they’re the outdated/useless ones:
IOS3 (rev 65280): Stub
IOS4 (rev 65280): Stub
IOS10 (rev 768): Stub
IOS16 (rev 512): Stub
IOS51 (rev 4864) Stub
Please list any errors or stubbed ISOs that you may get. If you do happen to find some other stubbed IOSs — you’d have to re-install a few things.
Also, updating your wii’s firmware would not fix whatever issue you have with Netflix, it’s up to date.

Just update? Or turn off your Wii after it asks you to update.
It won’t happen anything though.

i just it removed it but it says the same thing. was it supposed to and did you tell me to update it? Also after I pressed yes it said it may be inoperable of I have any modifications which i don’t remember if I do or not. I remember installing homebrew but its no where to be found on my console. The only place i could see it being is an empty spot in my sd card where it could have been previously. If you were confused about my question just tell me the part you were confused about and i well try to explain it better

Use modmii, it will make sure your mods are up to date, and help u install priiloader and block updates
are you asking me to download it? Because if I have any thing like that downloaded the update prompt said my wii may not work if i have anything like like that

I meant that, if you are on 4.3, and you have your Wii already Hacked, and for some reason it asks you to Update (when setting up a Router or maybe with a Game Disc) if you update it won’t happen anything.

No… trust me… it literally won’t happen anything.
You’re a bit paranoid about these Prompts, they’re made to scare the user from modifying their consoles.
Homebrew has the chance of turning your Wii into a Brick, which is why these prompts says that your Wii may not work if you attempt to modify it. But you have to be really unlucky for something like that to happen (or install something fishy onto it)

I looked at a youtube tutorial on how to download homebrew and the way he did it requires an internet connection. Is there another way to get it that wont corrupt or delete data on my wii because its very old and has a lot of progress that i want to hopefully transfer to hombrew and play with it on there.

Well…
if you have an SD CARD lying somewhere, you can insert it… and go to the Wii Settings -> Wii -> Save Data -> Copy each individual data to your SD CARD.
But hacking the console (if still you haven’t) won’t delete anything at all.
And never ever follow fucking YouTube video tutorials.
Use this instead and follow the steps: https://wii.guide/

Good luck! It’s a fast process. I recommend you to follow the LetterBomb Hack. All you need is an SD Card and a laptop to enter your Wii Mac Adress in order to hack it.
Also, don’t forget to install PriiLoader and BootMii (doesn’t matter if you can’t install it as Boot2) And once you’re done, hightly recommend you to make a NAND Backup. All of these guides are in the site I posted,
After that you can do whatever you want.

Yes you have two, maybe three options to do so.
The first one is USB Loader GX, that will allow you to load Wii Games from USB drives. That either be regular USB Sticks or Hard Drives.
If using USB Loader GX, you’ll have to format it to a WBFS format in order to use the games in WBFS format.
The second one, and my personal favourite, is to use Configurable USB Loader.
This one allows you to load Wii games from SD Cards.
Just place the games in wbfs format, and load them with CFG Usb Loader.
I find this one much easier to use.
The third one is to use WiiFlow… but I don’t know how to use it and I will never learn how to use it. It’s too much trouble for what’s worth in my personal opinion.
About USB Loader GX, I don’t use that neither because I don’t use USB drives.
If I might recommend you something, is to use CFG USB Loader.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers are down for maintenance. You’ll need to try your connection again later.
If you’ve tried again after several hours but still get this error code, then call the Nintendo Customer Service helpline in the US on 1-800 255-3700 or in the UK on 0870 6060 247 for help.
- 32002
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers could be experiencing a high amount of traffic, try your connecting again later.
If you’ve tried again after several hours but still can’t connect, there might be a problem with your connection. Have a look at the following tips to try to solve the problem:
1. You can try to connect by adjusting the «Channel» your wireless router broadcasts on. Nintendo recommends setting your wireless router to either channel 1 or 11. This can potentially increase the download speed and makes connecting your Wii console to the internet and Wii Shop easier. The Nintendo website has a guide that shows you how to change the channel on your wireless router.
2. Make sure you’ve put in the correct DNS information into the Wii console’s connection settings. It’s a bit «techy» but you can check this by going onto your computer and doing the following:i. Turn on your computer and your Wii consoleii. Click the «Start» button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer.iii. Click «Run.»iv. Type «cmd» into the box that pops up and press «Enter».v. Type «IPCONFIG/ALL» and press Enter (do not type the quotation marks).vi. The Primary DNS and Secondary DNS information are two of the items that come up on your computer screen. Make sure that the DNS information you have entered into the Wii console’s Manual Settings are exactly the same as those displayed on your computer screen.
If you’ve confirmed that your DNS setting are correct and you’re still receiving this error code, then call the Nintendo Customer Service helpline in the US on 1-800 255-3700 or in the UK on 0870 6060 247 for help.
If you’re using the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector to connect to the internet, then head over to Nintendo’s Troubleshooting site for the Wi-Fi USB Connector for more detailed help.
If you’re using the Wii LAN Adaptor to connect to the internet, then head over to Nintendo’s Troubleshooting site for the Wii LAN Adaptor for more detailed help.
If you’ve tried the steps above but still can’t connect, Nintendo’s servers may be down. Try connecting to the internet again later.

Your Wii console memory is full and there isn’t enough room to save the item you’re trying to download. You’ll need to free up some space on your console to save this update.
You can free up memory space by moving things like photos, videos, music, game saves or other downloaded items onto an SD memory card. You can also increase space on your console by deleting these items outright.
The Nintendo website has step-by-step instructions for copying data onto your SD memory card.

Your internet connection may not work with the Wii console. Satellite and dial-up internet services don’t work properly with the Wii console and may cause this error code.
The Wii console can generally only connect to the internet using cable or DSL (broadband) internet services. If your internet service is provided by your cable TV company or by your telephone company, then you should have the correct internet service.
If you’re using the USB Wi-Fi connector to run your Wii internet connection through your computer, and your computer has security software running (like a firewall, anti-virus or spyware program), you may need to add your Wii console to the security software’s «safe list» in order to connect via your computer (read through your security software’s instruction manual to learn how to do this).
This error may also happen when a lot of people are trying to use Nintendo’s online service at the same time. If Nintendo has released a new update for the Wii, or another very popular download has been released, then this is probably why this error is happening. Wait a few hours for the rush of people to slow down and try connecting again.

You have not installed your Wii LAN Adapter properly (this is the cable that you’re using to connect your Wii to your internet router).
1. Only the official Wii LAN Adaptor will work with the Wii console, so check that you’re using the official internet cable made by Nintendo (click here to see the picture and connection steps on the Nintendo website).
2. Ensure that the Wii LAN Adapter setup is correct, and that the Wii LAN Adapter was connected with the console turned off. Click here to see Nintendo’s step by step connection instructions.

This is a General Troubleshooting error code and does not have any one specific cause. You’ll need to try the following steps to try to solve the problem.
1. Your wireless router sends out an internet signal using a specific «channel» (much like a radio broadcasts over the airwaves). You can change the «channel» that your wireless router uses to broadcast the internet signal manually. Nintendo suggests setting your wireless router to either channel 1 or 11, as these are supposed to be the fastest channels for download speed.
The Nintendo website has a guide that shows you how to change the channel on your wireless router.
2. In addition to the broadcasting channel, there is also a broadcast setting. This can be set to either «G», «B», or «Mixed.» Nintendo suggests that the «Mixed» setting gives the best network connection, but you might need to try all three settings to get the best network connection.
3. Home appliances and other devices that are near to your console, like microwaves and cordless phones, might cause interference with your wireless network connection, so try turning these off. Other wireless devices like keyboards and computer mice can also interfere with your network connection.

This error code pops up because of a problem with your wireless internet security. This gets pretty technical, so I’ll send you straight over to Nintendo’s specific troubleshooting page to help you try and correct this.
- 52230
There appears to be an issue with your wireless router’s firewall, again this can get fairly technical, so pop over to the Nintendo website to get step-by-step instructions to solve this.

This Error Code usually indicates that the console timed out when trying to connect you to Nintendo’s servers. Read the steps below depending on how you’re connecting to the internet…
If you’re connecting your console using a wireless router:
1. Make sure you are using a «broadband» internet connection. The Wii console can generally only connect to the internet using cable or DSL (broadband) internet services. If your internet service is provided by your cable TV company or by your telephone company, then you should have the correct internet service.
2. You can also try to connect by adjusting the «Channel» your wireless router broadcasts on. Nintendo recommends setting your wireless router to either channel 1 or 11. This can potentially increase the download speed and makes connecting your Wii console to the internet easier. The Nintendo website has a guide that shows you how to change the channel on your wireless router.
3. Home appliances and other devices near to your console, like microwaves and cordless phones, may be interfering with your wireless network connection, so try turning these off. Other wireless devices like keyboards and computer mice can also interfere with your network connection.
4. If you get this error often, the firewall settings on your wireless router might be causing this problem. You might need to switch off your wireless security on your router. To do this, pop over to the Nintendo website to get step-by-step instructions.
5. Make sure you’ve put in the correct DNS information into the Wii console’s connection settings. It’s a bit «techy» but you can check this by going onto your computer and doing the following:i. Turn on your computer and your Wii consoleii. Click the «Start» button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer.iii. Click «Run.»iv. Type «cmd» into the box that pops up and press «Enter».v. Type «IPCONFIG/ALL» and press Enter (don’t type the quotation marks).vi. The Primary DNS and Secondary DNS information are two of the items that come up on your computer screen. Make sure that the DNS information you have entered into the Wii console’s Manual Settings are exactly the same as those displayed on your computer screen.
6. Unplug both your router and modem from the wall. Wait a few minutes, and plug the modem back in. Wait a few minutes and then turn on the router. Try to connect your console to the internet and see if it connects.
If you’re connecting your console using a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
1. Make sure you’re using a «broadband» internet connection. The Wii console can generally only connect to the internet using cable or DSL (broadband) internet services. If your internet service is provided by your cable TV company or by your telephone company, then you should have the correct internet service.
2. If your PC has any security programs (firewall, anti-virus, spyware, etc.), you might need to add the Wi-Fi USB Connector to the list of safe programs in your security software (read the instruction manual that came with your security software to find out how to do this).
3. If you’re using a router, turning off the router’s firewall will allow the Wii console to connect online and receive a system update. Once the update is received, you can turn the firewall back on. For information on locating and disabling your router’s firewall, please read the instruction manual that came with your router or contact the manufacturer.
Wired Connection (Wii LAN Adapter)

There appears to be an issue with the DNS server your Wii is receiving.
1. Make sure you’ve put in the correct DNS information into the Wii console’s connection settings. It’s a bit «techy» but you can check this by going onto your computer and doing the following:i. Turn on your computer and your Wii consoleii. Click the «Start» button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer.iii. Click «Run.»iv. Type «cmd» into the box that pops ups and press «Enter».v. Type «IPCONFIG/ALL» and press Enter (do not type the quotation marks).vi. The Primary DNS and Secondary DNS information are two of the items that come up on your computer screen. Make sure that the DNS information you have entered into the Wii console’s Manual Settings are exactly the same as those displayed on your computer screen.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, use the DNS number called «Default Gateway» after you type in IPCONFIG/ALL. Try to connect to the internet again.
2. Read Nintendo’s Firewall/Antivirus/Antispyware/Adware compatibility information by clicking here. This page should help you to resolve this issue if it’s a software related problem.
The following Wii error codes all have the same possible solutions, which you can read below this list of codes…
Your Wii console couldn’t be connected to the WiiConnect24 service. Try these solutions…
1. If you’re using a few different routers or modems to connect to the internet, try connecting with only one router and/or one modem. You can also try to connect from a friend’s house or by using a different internet connection.
2. If you can’t test your console’s connection from a different location call the Nintendo Customer Service helpline in the US on 1-800 255-3700 or in the UK on 0870 6060 247 for help.
3. If you’ve been using only one modem or router, then something on your network or from your Internet Service Provider is causing a problem with your connection. Contact your internet service provider for help on solving this problem.
The WiiConnect24 service is being blocked by the Parental Controls that you’ve set up on your console.
