How to Get the Wii to Work With the Belkin F6D4230

The Belkin F6D4230 router, often referred to as the Belkin N150, supports a wired or wireless connection from the Nintendo Wii. The range of the router is up to 1,000 feet and with rated transfer speed of 150 Mbps (megabits per second), making it an ideal device when using the Nintendo Wii online. The Nintendo Wii supports the same wireless security types available on a secure Belkin N150 network. You will need your home network's SSID (network name) and wireless password (if any) before you can connect wirelessly. If you don't have this information, get it from the person who configured the wireless network.
