Its very straight forward . If you have a wireless network all you need to do is find your access point in Wii settings and then connect to it (its easy)

It's very staight forward.

Your Wii is wireless enabled out of the box, so just turn it on, go in to the settings, search for wireless access points and you're away!

It's all very simple.

Welcome to the forum, Jonny.



Oops, you were a bit too quick for me, Mojo!

YES!!!


The Wii is wireless enabled so it is ready to go straight from the box.


You might want to look at this page to ensure you have a compatible router (and to give you an idea of some of the problems that people have faced)

Make sure you get a Wii points card so you can download the Internet Channel!

And also, you can use a credit card to download Wii Points directly from the Wii.

But you may not want to do that, I don't know.

This poor guy, we're going to have him buying every available accessory!
