Instructions on How to Set Up Wireless Internet on Wii

The Nintendo Wii allows you to check the latest Associated Press news headlines, read local and global weather forecasts, download classic Nintendo games, and more--but first you must connect to the Internet. The Wii console comes wireless-Internet ready. You only need to enter the Wii Menu, in order to connect the console to your existing wireless Internet service.
