Connect your Wii console to your Netflix account
Before you can watch TV episodes and movies streaming from Netflix, you
will need to connect your Wii console to your Netflix account.
If you're not already on this screen on your television, select Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii from the Wii menu. (Don't have this option?) On this screen you will be presented with a code; remain on this screen during the activation process.
Using an online device other than your Wii console - such as a PC, Mac, or Web-enabled phone - go to http://www.netflix.com/wii. (You will need to log into your Netflix account if you're not already logged in.)
Enter the code displayed on your television into the box on the bottom
Netflix Web page, then click "Activate Now." (The code is case
sensitive.)
Netflix will now
attempt to activate the connection to your Wii console. This may take
several minutes. When the process is complete, the Wii will
automatically display your queue. (The screen on your computer will not
change. Wait for the screen displayed by the Wii on your TV to indicate
the activation has finished before going to another Web page.)
