We have been getting a number of requests from readers recently, asking us to demonstrate how to set up their Wii's Wi-Fi connection. While it may be very simple for some of us, especially those of us who know how to set a Wii up with a home router that has encryption on, others can find these kind of things difficult. Obviously, we're glad to answer the call and help those of you who need the step by step guide. That's why we make these videos.

As to why we have been getting more requests for this guide recently, we can only assume that it has to do with the fact that, in recent months, Wiis have become much more easily available.

Some of you may notice that at one point in the video, a banner drops down, blocking our router's name. We had to do that for privacy reasons, so we apologize. All you need to know for that part is the name of the access point you are trying to connect to. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our guide.



Be sure to send us any comments or questions you may have so we can address them. You can either send them to eli@comicbookbin.com or leave a comment on the video page on YouTube. You can also find more videos from The Comic Book Bin at www.youtube.com/comicbookbin.

Check the error code
Hi Cole,

The first thing I would suggest to you is to check out the error code you're getting at Nintendo's support site. Go to Nintendo.com and head to support. Put in the error code in the proper box and see what it says.

If you still don't understand it, you're going to have to give me some more details. Feel free to email me or, if you have a YouTube or Viddler account, send me a private message to our account.

Cheers

Interesting and weird
Hi w.r.,

This is an interesting one. I've never heard of such an error coming up before. I suppose it's possible that it's something specific to your location, but I can't be sure.

Usually, when they're some kind of error, there's an error code that goes along with it. Go to Nintendo's support site at support(dot)nintendo(dot)com and click for your location. You should be able to find Error Codes in the Troubleshooting section of the site, if it's not already on the front page.

If that still doesn't help you, there's a number you can call on the site for help.

Too much explaining
Shut up with the unessesary details (of course your not going to tell us your password... so shut up and dont say anything). Get to the point with all your womanly explaining.
