How to Hook Up the Web on the Wii

The Nintendo Wii includes a built-in Wi-Fi adapter that allows the console to be connected to the web via your home's wireless network. After connecting to your router, the Nintendo Wii will have access to the Opera web browser, Wii Shop Channel and online multi-player mode for games that support it. The Wii Shop Channel houses all of the Wii's downloadable content, including game demos and old school games courtesy of the Virtual Console.
