    How do I get Internet connection on my wii

    I'm trying to connect my Wii to the Internet. I currently do not have a wifi connection but I have the adapter that connects to the internet. I have already changed the connection on the Internet...

    you can try this step on how to connect your wii console on internet...

    Error Code: 52020 What to do will depend on how you are connecting your Wii console. Please use the info below that describes how you are connecting.
      Connecting directly to a modem:
    1. Power off the Wii. Connect the official Nintendo Wii LAN adapter to the Wii, and insert a working ethernet cable into the official Nintendo Wii LAN Adapter.
    2. Unplug all devices from your modem. Most modems are unable to support more than one device at a time.
    3. Power cycle your modem. To do this, unplug the power from your modem and let it rest for 20 seconds. Plug the power back in. Connect the Ethernet cable from your Wii console to the Ethernet port on your modem.

    4. If the connection test fails, try a "Manual Setup" with the Wii console (how to), using your network's IP address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, and DNS information. To access these settings:
      1. On your PC, click "Start" and then "Run."
      2. Type "CMD" into the field that appears to open a new window.
      3. Type "IPCONFIG/ALL" and press "Enter" to display a list of internet settings, including the settings listed above. Input these exactly as they're listed into the "Manual Setup" of the Wii console's internet connection.
    5. If you are still unable to connect and you are using broadband Internet, then your ISP likely uses PPPoE to establish a connection to their network. The Wii is not compatible with PPPoE. Contact your ISP for more assistance.

      Connecting to a router:
    1. Ensure that an Ethernet Cable is running from the WAN or Internet Port on the router to the modem. Power cycle the modem by unplugging it from the electrical outlet, waiting a moment, and then plugging it back in.
    2. Power off the Wii console, and insert the Wii LAN Adapter into one of the USB ports on the back of the Wii console.
    3. Run an ethernet cable from the Wii to a numbered port on the router.
    4. Power on the Wii console, and run a connection test through the Wii console's online settings.
    5. If the connection test fails, try a "Manual Setup" with the Wii console (how to), using your network's settings on your PC:
      1. On your PC, click "Start" and then "Run."
      2. Type "CMD" into the field that appears to open a new window.
      3. Type "IPCONFIG/ALL" and press "Enter" to display a list of internet settings, including the settings listed above. Input these as they're listed into the "Manual Setup" of the Wii console's internet connection, except for the IP address. The IP address needs to be different. Add 10 to the IP address and use that number in the Wii console's settings.

    Trying to connect my WII council to the internet and it keeps coming up "Unable to connect to the internet Error code: 50230"

    Error code 50230 is thrown when the Wii's internet connection has not yet been configured. These instructions on configuring the connection settings come from Nintendo's website at:

    http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/getOnline/index.jsp

    1. 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.

    2. Now, select "Wii Settings" to access the "Wii System Settings" menu.
        wiisettingsmenu.gif
    3. Using the arrow on the right side of the screen, scroll to page two and select "Internet."

    4. Select "Connection 1: None"
        wiisettingsinternet3.gif
        (Don't see "None" in Connection 1? Click the Connection 1 button, then choose "Clear Settings.")
    5. Click on "Wireless Connection" and then "Search for an Access Point."
        wiisettingsinternet4.png
        (Are you using a wired Internet connection to your Wii console? If so, click here for specific help.)
    6. Select "OK" and the Wii will display all the wireless networks it finds.
        sfap2.gif
    7. Select the wireless network that is yours.
        (If you're not sure which is yours, or you don't see any wireless networks, click here.)

    8. 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." secureaccess.png Don't know your router's security key? Let us help you find your router's security key. Select the brand of your router below and we'll provide you with the default information for that brand! Linksys Netgear DLink Belkin Apple 2Wire All other brands
    9. 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:
          sfapun2.gif
          As long as you see "The connection test was successful," the "Wii Support 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. Click here to find out what's next!

      • The connection test was not successful - If the test was not successful, you will receive an error code.
        • Error Code 51330 or 52130: This means the security code you entered into the Wii is not the same one your router is set to. Look in your router's settings and try again. Please refer to step seven (7) above for more information.
        • All other error codes: Try our error code troubleshooting where we have detailed information on many common error codes. (You can ignore any "Wii Support Code" you receive on a connection test.)

    Unable to connect Wii to internet

    When you go to the Wii options->wii settings->internet->connection settings->connection 1..clear settings. Then go back to connection 1 and click 'wireless connection' Then 'search for access point'. Your wireless should be one of the choices(plus any nearby neighbors). If no wireless connections available then recheck your router. If you are sure there should be an access point and the Wii didn't find it, possibly defective wireless in the Wii.

    Cannot connect the wii to wireless internet

    Goto 'wii options' (bottom left of screen). Wii settings-> then page over to 'Internet' then 'connection settings' then 'conection 1'. Clear any setings. Then go back to connection 1 and click 'wireless connection' then 'search for access point'. If your wireless router is set up right in your home then you should see it as an option when you click 'OK'. Choose your connection, then enter your router password. If your wii can't find an access point then either your router isn't set up correctly or your wii's wireless is defective.
