If you have an Ethernet USB adapter that you bought from Nintendo, you can plug it into the back of your console and then plug an Ethernet cable from your router into the adapter. This will open the Internet settings. This will display a list of three connections. If the Wii has never been connected to the internet, all of the settings will say "None" next to the Connection number. Doing so will take you to the wireless network page. If you're using Ethernet, select Wired and then select OK to connect to the Internet. This will bring up a list of the current available networks. This will bring up the connection's page. If the connection is public, selecting the network will prompt your Wii to connect to it automatically. If your network is password-protected, enter the password and press A. Once you connect to either your wired or wireless network, you will be prompted to update your system. These updates can improve system functionality, and are required if you are playing online. Do not update your system if it is modded, or you will lose access to your Homebrew channel. After updating your system, you will be connected to the internet every time the Wii is turned on. You can then add games and channels from the Wii store. Games will cost money to purchase, but most channels can be downloaded for free (some require a separate subscription to use). You can access the shop from the Wii Channels screen.
