I'm using a wireless router. I went to connect it to my Wii, entered the password and everything and it accepted it. Then it came up "Testing connection..." and after a minute or two, said "Error Code: 51330. Unable to connect to the Internet. Choose Internet settings and then confirm your connection." How do I get it to work? Thanks (c:

Go into your router settings and make sure its on channel 1 or 6 (1 works better in my opinion) and sometimes it just doesn't want to connect so try it again :P

ive heard channel 11 works too. but channel 1 is your safe bet - if not try to restore default/factory settings and that usually fixes it

Make sure that if you have MAC address filtering enabled, you have given the Wii proper permission to access the router.

Change your router channel to 1 or 11 and let us know if that fixes the problem.
