How to Get Free Wireless Internet on the Wii

Accessing free wireless Internet services on the Wii is an easy task to accomplish. While there's no charge for the wireless features, you do need an established wireless Internet connection. The exception is for places that provide free Wi-Fi services.

If you don't have an established wireless Internet connection, compare price packages between your phone, cable and Internet service providers. Wireless routers may be provided free of charge when you sign up for their services.
