If you don't know the WEP key, then the security is working (ironic, isn't it?)

If you want the Wii online, you will need to log into the router's interface and disable encryption entirely or (depending on the router) simply change the security key.

Bear in mind that if you change the key, all the other wireless devices will no longer work until you update them with the proper key.

Hope this helps - be sure to rate :)

    How do you set up Internet on the wii?

    To access the internet with your wii console you'll need either a wireless router/gateway, or a wii wired LAN connector.

    1. Power on your Wii console
    2. Access the "Wii Setting" menu by selecting the circular wii icon in the bottom left of the screen and then choosing wii settings.
    3. Use the arrow on the right of the screen to move to page two, then select "internet".
    4. Select "Connection 1 ' None"
    5. Choose "Wireless Connection" (assuming you have a wireless router), then select "Search for Access Point".
    6. Wait for your wii to scan, then select your wireless network, and if prompted enter your wireless network password/key. Then click "OK".

    You should now be able to connect to the internet. If your Wii runs a connection test and it proves unsuccessful it will display an error code. If you get Error Code 51330 or 52130 this means the password you entered does not match the password on the wireless network you are attempting to join. A list of all other error codes and what they mean can be found here: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/onlineErrorCodes.jsp

    Hi there!
    There are two ways to connect your Wii to the internet; you can connect to your wireless network (if you have a wireless modem set up in your house), or you can connect using a wired connection directly to your modem.
    If using a wired connection, you will need to purchase a Wii LAN adapter and connect that from your WII into your wired router.

    Once you have figured out what connection type you will use (and if using a wired connection, purchased and connected your Wii LAN adapter) you will need to take the following steps:
    FOR WIRELESS CONNECTION:
    • Turn on your Wii and click on the "Wii" button on the bottom left of the screen
    • Click on "Wii Settings"
    • Click on the arrow on the right side of the screen and select "Internet"
    • Select "Connection 1 : none" (if you 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.
    • If it asks you to enter a password or key, then your wireless connection is password protected and you will need to enter the password that was setup to allow access to your network.
    • Select "OK," "Save Settings," and then "Yes."
    • Your Wii will test the connection and you should get a message saying connection was successful.
    FOR WIRED CONNECTIONS:
    • Connect your Wii to the Wii LAN adapter and connect that to your modem or broadband adapter. Please not that you will need to unplug your modem for a few minutes to reset the connection and you will also need to unplug the connection to your computer when you want to connect your Wii to the internet.
    • Turn on your Wii and select the Wii icon on the bottom left
    • Click on "Wii Settings"
    • Click the arrow on the right side of the screen and select "Internet"
    • Click "Connection Settings"
    • Click "Connection 1 : none" (if you don't see "None" in Connection 1, click the Connection 1 button, then choose "Clear Settings")
    • Click "Wired Connection"
    • Click "Ok"
    • Your Wii will now do a connection test
    • You should see a message saying the test was successful
    Hope this helps!

    Wii Wi-fi Internet Connection

    A Wii has a macc address just like any other networked element. Do you have mac-address filtering turned on? If so, you may have forgotten to enter your Wii mac address in the list.

    Hope this fixes your problem!
