How to Use a Wiimote on a Different Wii Console

Wii remotes, or Wiimotes, can be synced to a Wii console in two ways. When your controller is synced using the standard mode, the Wiimote remains connected to your console unless you disconnect it or perform a standard sync on another console. You can also perform a one-time sync on your controller, which only syncs the Wiimote to a different console until the power is turned off on the Wii. With the one-time mode, you can use your Wii remote on another console without having to repeat the standard syncing process when you return to playing on your own Wii console.
