According to Nintendo it means your WiiConnect24 is not enabled.
"WiiConnect24 allows the console to receive downloads even when the console isn't in active use, as long as it has a working connection to the internet. The types of information that can be received include News and Weather, messages posted to the Wii Message Board, and any messages sent by Nintendo about new Wii console features."

ClickWii System Update...
clickyes...
it will test your connection for a few seconds...
an update screen may quickly come up and tell you there is an update (whether or not your Wii actually needs one)
and the following screen will appear. ClickWii Menuto finish.
Power on your Wii console and press the A Button on the Wii Remote to reach the Wii main menu. Use the Wii Remote to select the "Wii" button.
Now, select "Wii Settings" to access the "Wii System Settings" menu.
Using the arrow on the right side of the screen, scroll to page two and select "Internet."
Select "Connection 1: None"
(Don't see"None" in Connection 1? Click the Connection 1 button, then choose"Clear Settings.")
Click on "Wireless Connection" and then "Search for an Access Point."
Select "OK" and the Wii will display all the wireless networks it finds.
Select the wireless network that is yours.
Asked to enter a security key? If you are prompted to "Enter the Password or Key," then the wireless network you are trying to connect to has wireless security turned on. You will need to type in your security key or password and select "OK."
Select "OK," "Save Settings," and then "Yes."
The Wii console will run a connection test with your wireless network when the test is completed. You should see the following screen:
Aslong as you see "The connection test was successful," the "WiiSupport Code" does not matter and can be ignored
The connection test was successful - Then you're almost done! After your connection test, the Wii console will check if there is a new Wii System Update available. Once you select "Yes" and "I Accept," the Wii will begin to download any available updates.
Wireless Connection 1. On the Wii console's main menu, click on the 'Wii button' in the lower left corner. 2. This will take you to the settings screen. On this screen, click on 'Wii Settings'. 3. In the 'Wii System Settings', click on the blue arrow on the right to reach the second screen of options. On this screen, click the 'Internet' button. 4. Select 'Connection Settings'. 5. Select an open connection, indicated by 'None'. 6. Select 'Wireless Connection'. 7. Select 'Search for an Access Point'. 8. At this point, the Wii console will search for any identifiable Access Points nearby. Once this search has completed, you will be directed to choose the Access Point that you wish to connect to. Click 'OK' to display the list of available Access Points. 9. Select your Access Point from the list of available Access Points. If your connection appears as a closed padlock, then the Access Point requires a security code or passphrase. The security code or passphrase can usually be found on the security tab of your wireless router settings. If your connection signal appears yellow or red, the stability or strength of the connection is not optimal. If possible, remove any obstacles between the Wii console and the Access Point. I've also found that changing the channel on your router to channel 1 or channel 11 can sometimes help with singal stability and strength. 10. Click 'Save' followed by 'OK' to save your connection settings... 11. ...and select OK again to start an automatic connection test. If the test succeeds, Internet Setup is complete and your Wii conosle is wirelessly connected!

Wait a moment for your Wii to find an access point. When the words "Choose the access point you want to connect to" appear on your screen, click "OK."
8
Pick your access point. Choose the point that is listed with a green signal strength icon.
