Wii set up problems

We just bought a Wii and were setting it up tonight. We followed the instructions exactly as they were written, and we can't get the menu to show up when it is powered on. I'm sure it has to do with selecting the right channel, but we are at a complete loss.

Hi just bought a WII from Hong Kong along with the Free Loader disc.
It is still in Japanese.Do we have to get another disc to change the language or can we do it with the disc supplied?
Can you let us know the steps to change the language?
I was assured that it would work.......

How do i get the internet connection on the wii to get netflix

Sorry to hear your having problems with your wii. You can connect the wii via wifi or wired with an adapter. Check out Nintendo's tutorial for instructions on how to do this:
http://us.wii.com/connect/

You basically goto:
Wii Options at the bottom left corner of your home screen, then Wii Settings, Click the right arrow to goto the next page, Click Internet, Click Connection Settings, Click Connection 1, Click Wireless Connection. Click Search for an Access Point. Click OK to view the found access points. Select the Access point for your wireless internet, enter your encryption key, click Ok and then OK again to save settings, and then OK again to test the connection.

Once you have set up your wifi connection you can download the netflix channel from the wii shop channel for free. Then you can follow the on screen instruction when you launch the netflix channel to watch netflix on your wii.

How do i factory reset ?

Here is how to reset your Nintendo Wii:

1. First, the easy way. A soft reset of the Ninetendo Wii. If you Nintendo Wii has just started acting up and there is no reason to perform a hard reset then follow this instruction. Simply press the reset button and hold down for 2 seconds on your Nintendo Wii Console.

2. Now, for the more advanced hard reset. Interestingly, the Nintendo Wii has NO hard reset facility to be accessed through the machine or via buttons. The ONLY way to hard reset your Nintendo Wii is to UNPLUG it for 5 minutes. Once it is unplugged it resets itself and your badly behaving Nintendo Wii should be restored.

Note: By hard resetting the Nintendo Wii, it will not delete any information on the SD Card that is used for storage. If you wish to delete this data, stick it into a computer with a multi-media card device or a digital camera and reformat it.

Another option to try is to go to the following:
Wii settings and press reformat wii system memory.
The last part of wii settings and press reformat wii system memory.
The last part of wii settings and press reformat wii settings and press reformat wii system memory.

If all else fails you can ask nintendo, you can call them at 1800-255-3700
I hope this helps and good luck.

Cant connect my wii get error 51030

This might be handy: http://www.nhotspot.net/wii-error-code-51030/ and http://www.wiierror.com/wii-error-51000.php
Try adjusting the "Channel" your wireless router broadcasts on. We highly recommend setting your wireless router to either channel 1 or 11. This can potentially increase the download speed.

Verify that the proper Connection File (1, 2, or 3) is selected in the Wii System Settings.

If you have multiple connection files setup, and you have recently received a system update, it is possible that the update has caused the Wii console to select a different Connection File. Click here for step-by-step instructions on viewing your connection settings.

Make sure that your network's name (SSID) matches exactly to what you have entered in the Wii console's settings.

Log in to your router using the default IP (consult the router's owner's manual for assistance).

Look for the section for SSID (typically in the "wireless settings" area).
After you find the SSID (network name), verify in the Internet Settings of your Wii console that the SSID is appearing exactly as listed in your router. This includes making sure capitalization, spaces, or special characters match exactly.

Remote dont work. lights just flash. tried to sync did not work. Bought a new remote and went to sync it now it is doing the same thing the other remote did> Any suggesions?

Basic Question: Did you set up the sensor bar?

I'm assuming you follow the instructions to plug in the Wii and to attach the sensor bar to the console and position the sensor bar so it is either below or above the television.

The Wii remote flashes (more specifically the bottom row of four lights that indicate which player each remote belong to flashes) when a button is pushed on the control while the Wii is off.

If the Wii is on and simply sleeping (as evident by a blinking yellow light on the power button on the console) pushing the power button the control should turn on both the console and the remote. Be sure to aim the remote at the console when "waking" the Wii up and at the sensor bar once the Wii Menu loads. The remotes automatically turn off with lack of interaction.

To recap: Your remotes sound to be working fine. I would assume it might be a problem with the interaction between your console and the remotes or the setup of the console. The Wii Information Guide has pictures and pretty clear connection instructions that should help fix your problem.

If everything is set up correctly as per the instructions and your system still does not interact your sensor bar may be faulty or your console as I believe you're remotes work fine.

yes,that's very possible.you can connect directly the wii to your lan if your wlan is having some kind of a glitch that will not allow you to connect to the internet.now,once connected via lan,you can browse on opera per the message you've been getting and see if you can follow their instructions to solve the matter.later on if you still can't connect,you might want to set-up again you wii connect settings.make sure your router is working properly and is set to detect/accept your wii.also,your wep or wpa password should exactly be the one you need to key in on your wii internet setting.if it's wpa,try to select AES.no guarantees.hope this helps.
