Wii wi-fi My wi-fi for the Wii is not working, but my laptop connects easily. Why is that?

• Power cycle your home network.
If your wireless router or access point is unresponsive, power cycling these devices may resolve your connection issue.

• Ensure you are using the correct password for your Wi-Fi network.
If your wireless router or access point is secured with a security key or password, review this password to ensure you have entered it correctly in the Wii U.

• Create a new connection on your Wii U.
Create a new connection on your Wii U. This will ensure you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network and the Wi-Fi network is currently visible to your Wii U.

• Check for wireless interference.
Wireless interference can result in a weakened connection between your Wii U and your wireless router or access point. Review your Wi-Fi network's setup to ensure an optimal wireless environment.

They usually slide very easily. Have you tried moving the toggle with the laptop open? And have you tried it with the laptop closed?

From looking around, it looks like some type of bug. They are working on a patch that will hopefully be released soon.

Here are some instructions I found at Support Forum.

• From the Multiplayer menu
• Select Profile
• Create a new profile
• Select "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connect" and wait to see if you login
• If you are able to login, select Profile again
• Change back to your original profile
• Select "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connect" again, and you should be able to play on your original profile.
• If you are still not able to login please refer to the rest of the information on this page.

the wii has a built in wi-fi reciever so you HAVE to have wi-fi if you dont buy a wireless router hook it up to your computer you need to have high speed internet for this then once your wi-fi is set up go to wii options internet connection then click search for connection if you have it set up right it will show your connection name then you click on it and it will retrieve the signal from your connection and you can go online from your wii.

The unit can connect to the Internet by utilizing its 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, which is built in, for wireless connections or via a USB-to-Ethernet adaptor for DSL connections.
For your wireless connection or Wi-Fi, the 802.11b Wi-Fi has a data rate of 11 Mbits per second and has an indoor range of 30m or approximately 98 ft. The 802.11g has the same indoor range, however the data rate is at 54 Mbits per second. If you have an existing wireless connection or are in a Wi-Fi hotspot, the unit will connect to your wireless connection automatically out of the box. If you do not have a wireless network, however, you will need to have your wireless network subscription done or set-up first. Once you have wireless Internet access, you then search for your access point, put in your security settings and you’re good to go. It would also be advisable to have a wireless router for this so that you won’t have to shuttle the connection between your PC and your Wii. Another option would be to connect your Wii via the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. This accessory allows Nintendo Wii users who do not have an existing Wi-Fi connection or a compatible Wi-Fi network to create one through their broadband or DSL connected computer. This is inserted into your existing computer’s USB port and the Wi-Fi USB Connector acts as a wireless access point for the Wii. This allows the user access to the internet and to play Wi-Fi Connection games from Nintendo Online.
For your DSL connection, however, you will need to have quite a few things. You can use a WII LAN adapter to connect your Wii to your DSL modem. You can also use a router so that you can use your PC and your Wii at the same time. With the LAN Adapter though, to use or plug in the Wii, you must disconnect your PC. This can be quite tedious since you will have to plug in and out your PC and your Wii every time you need to use one or the other. A LAN Adapter is fairly cheap, but if you get a router, your PC and your Wii can go online at the same time, saving you the hassle of connecting one or the other when you need them. You can then hook up the existing ethernet cords to the back of the router and connect it to the Wii via a USB 2.0 cord.

i hope this helps

Install wi fi network adapter driver.
Turn on wi fi switch it is on laptop you can find it easily.
Then you can see your wi fi network in my network places.

Adjust your Wi-Fi settings until it works.

Please note that your wii console has a lower internet signal (less bars) and you must get a little closer to connect. Or your wii must have another problem i cant solve.
