what is it? i have no idea how to work it. plz dont call me a noob, just help me... :(
It's pretty much a standby mode for the Wii.
It uses low amounts of electricity to check for updates online while you're not playing and it's plugged in.
What Bluaki said ;)
You will know if its on or not when
The wii is off a the power light is;
Red-wiiconnect24 is off
Orange-wiiconnect24 is on
Really it only checks for new Wii Messages and possibly things like friend vouchers in MP3 or screen shots and what not in Elebits... It doesn't actually check for updates, otherwise it wouldn't connect and check when you click on the "Update" button (it would already know).

a update is what nintendo sends out ::)
Well, again, WiiConnect24 does not recieve updates. You have to manually check for updates when you have the Wii turned on.

The message automatically links to Wii system updates, and I believe game-specific updates may install automatically.
is it a thingy i can buy?
WiiConnect24 isn't an accessory or anything, it's just a "mode" your Wii can use. It's one of the settings in the Wii Settings Menu. There is no fee.

Nonono, that's because you told the Shop your nintendo account, no other reason.
Just to be perfectly clear... what are you trying to do? Turn on WiiConnect24? When you turn off your Wii, is the light red?

um....here do this,
Tell me what your setup and maybe i can help further
Okay, just checking there... I read all the posts but I got a little bit lost somewhere. xD
Let's see... so when you try to turn it on, you get an error code, right?
yep.
It sounds a little bit like what happened with me for the longest time. My DS connected to the internet perfectly, but my Wi couldn't. For me, this turned out to be a simple fix. Do you know how to change the channel on your router? That might help a lot, the reccommend channels are 1 and 11.
how do i do that? ???
i used to know a long time ago, but i forgot exactly how cuz i never had to do it! :D
This is where my knowledge starts slowing down. xD
I think it's different for differnt routers, what's your model number?
Quote from: DistantWords on November 15, 2007, 02:50:26 PM
Well, again, WiiConnect24 does not recieve updates. You have to manually check for updates when you have the Wii turned on.
Not really, nintendo sends the updates if you have on wiiconnect24 and you will then choose if you want to update or not...... Its not always manually :|
wait modem number? i dont do those things anymore... :D

wait i dont see it...
I'm a bit afraid to give too much help here, since I don't know how old you are and more importantly, who is in charge of the computer/network related stuff.
But many routers are configured through your web browser. Type in the following IP address into your browser address bar:
192.168.0.1
There may be a login, in which case you'll have to refer to either the manual, or whoever set up the router to begin with.
Somewhere there may be something called "Wireless Settings" or "Wireless Network" or simply "Wireless".
When editing those settings, there will be a space for "Channel" which will probably have a drop down menu with the numbers 1-11.
I chose 9 after having just as many problems with 1 and 11. 6 is generally the default.
Another thing that can trip up the Wii's ability to connect is the SSID (the name of your wireless network). If it's something like "default" or something like that, it might cause problems. Especially if there are other wireless signals close enough for your Wii to detect that have the same name.
KEEP IN MIND however, if you change the SSID for the router, you'll have to update ANY wireless device that connects to your wireless network.
If you are a minor and your parents are the ones that set this up, you really REALLY should get their help before doing anything yourself. Otherwise you could make things worse...
well, i realized that i was missing a LAN connector. i dont need this anymore. :O
