How to Connect a Wii to Another Wii

Adding a Friend

  Verify that your Wii can connect to the Internet. Click the Wii icon in the bottom-left corner of the main menu, navigate to the Options and select "Internet Settings." Click "Perform Internet Test." If you are using the Nintendo LAN Adapter, ensure it is connected to the machine and to the modem or router. If no connection is made, follow the on-screen directions to set up or change your online settings.
