Does anyone know what you have to do to get online for the Wii?

First off do you own a Wii?

If so what type of internet connection do you have?

If you own a Wireless router you need your WEP key. ( your password that you made up) That is if you have a secure base station.
or a Wi-fi USB connector that attaches onto you computer.
The Wii picks up wireless signals from your Router or computer this way.

If wired you need to buy a Wii LAN adapter.

If you need any more information. Their online pages describe this in more detail.

What about if you already have a wireless router?

Ok but do you have to buy online like xbox live or is it free or what??

I think you buy Wii points or something like that.

And those are? If i had to guess something to play or ranking or something involving the games.

There is already a discussion thread about the Wii. You can access the internet freely if you have a router. If you have a router, please tell me. Then I will tell you how to set it up.

-makes loud buzz noise in rock's ear- Incorrect! Wii points are for downloading extras like virtual console games and wii wares like the internet channel.

Exactly, and if you have your connection up already, go into the Wii Shop, go to Wii Ware, and dowload the Internet Trial Channel.

a router thats connected to the wii? im really ignorant about this kind of stuff but i thought that the Wii can access the internet through a wireless base, or is that the same thing as a router?

Wii points cost like $25 for 2000 points (at least in Canada). Kind of pricey for me but at the same time I'd get 4 or 5 old games that I want
