How to Hook Up the Wii Wirelessly

The Nintendo Wii is designed to connect to a wireless network without any additional accessories. This allows Wii users to play games online, download Virtual Console games, download add-ons and browse the Internet. All of these features require first setting up the Wii to connect online. This can be accomplished fairly quickly through the Wii Main menu. The wireless network connection only needs to be set up the first time it is used. The console will automatically connect through the network when you use an online feature.
