Does it support WiFi? I think the technical term for it is 802.11b/g. If u see that anywhere on your manual saying it supports it it should work. It could also be u have some sort of sercurity setup? If so I can't really think of how I can help u, cause Im not good at the software part of things.

Ahhhh! There in lies the problem. Read the manuel it will tell you. The Wii NEEDS the router to be on 1 or 11 to work.

I think the b/g is two differant types. I forget which is which, But I think the the 802.11g was WiFi. If u go to the nintendo site they have a large list of comaptible routers, You might be able to find yours there. They also have a guide to setting up the connection to the Wii.

So am I. So either your a fu_king lier or your Wii is just abnormal. Serious check anywhere.

No, I believe u, I have heard of people sujesting to use ch1-11 before, Mine just worked straight out of the box, I never changed any settings at all for the Wii. Very Odd.

I have my linksys set to chan 6 and it also works fine.

G routers are usually backwards compatible with B so you shouldn't have any problems.  Im using a wireless-g. 

What specific problem are you having?  What stage of the wii connection set up do you get stuck at?  Honestly you should be using WEP regardless of wii, you really dont want people having access to your wireless network.
