How to Connect Your Wii to a DD-WRT

The original software on the Nintendo Wii had problems connecting to routers using DD-WRT firmware. Nintendo has since fixed the problem with the router. In order to connect to a DD-WRT firmware router, you need to make sure your Wii system firmware is up to date and then run the network connection wizard like you would for any other router. Once you connect to the network, you can play your Wii games online against other players.
