Also, if you have all 4 blinking lights on your controller, it probably means its not connected to the Wii. read the manual on how to connect it, but i roughly remember you having to press the Sync button on the remote and Wii (on remote its under the battery cover, on Wii its were you put your SD card) and then press 1 and then 2 on the wii remote.

If youre having WiFi issues, maybe its because you havent registered your MAC address with the router (as was mentioned before). go to your router settings and add the Wii's MAC Address.

And the weirdest issue ive seen here is the remote position issues. you guys should say where your sensor bar is and how far you are form the TV/sensor bar so that it makes it easier to see what the problem is. basically, i kind of have that problem too. I have my sensor bar on top of the TV, and my couch extends out on one side so that its only about two feet from the TV if i sit on the edge. If i sit on the edge i have to point up at the sensor bar so that its the center on the TV. however, if i comfortably sit all the way back on my couch, it centers perfectly.

First, you have to make sure your sensor bar is at the edge of the TV and aligned with the center of the TV. then, you have to see how far back you have to stand/sit and how high you have to stand/sit so that its in the middle. on a regular couch you should be able to sit back and play the wii comfortably (like for MUA) without any sensitivity issues. I'm thinking you should be about 3-4 feet back. You have to experiment with this to find the optimum comfort, distance, and sensitivity. also, play around with putting the sensor bar on the top or the bottom of your TV, depending on how high your TV is, you might get better results from the other alternative. if it's still a bit off, try using the sensor bar stand that comes with the Wii, its that little plastic thing you dont know what to do with


Hope this helps some of you and FYI, this is my first post, so nice to meet you all ^_^"

On page two, I clicked the internet box and found something that said "User's Agreements", but all that did was try to connect me to the internet and tell me that my interenet is working, but i have to agree to the user's agreements! PLEASE HELP!!! I SPENT AT LEAST $100 ON POINT CARDS AND THE VIRTUAL CON SOLE CONTROLLER!!!!!!!!!!

If you dont see it on the last page of the settings as the last option, you may need to do the update first. If you dont see the wii shopping channel/weather channel I suggest doing the update. Then.. go to the wii connect 24 setting and it will ask you if you want to use it, you select yes and then it will tell you you need to agree to terms. It will connect.. and bam tons of print appears before you!

The remote that came with it isn't synced at all. I double checked to connect everything the way the instructions told me to. I set up the sensor first, plugged in the power second, then plugged in the aux cables. The button was red...pressed it to turn it green. It chugged and nothing came up so I thought I'd put a game in..nothing. I'm absolutely sure my tv was on the right mode because it has a "game" mode input that is on the front of the tv. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is this just my lucky day? This is SO annoying. I waited weeks for this thing and now they probably won't get another Wii in for 2 or 3 more weeks from what I'm told. Sometime in the middle of January apparently.

Phooy!

Is this because of wii-traffic, or because of the whole user agreements thing.

If you got that message, then connected later, then got the message again, PLEASE let me know.

1) pressing A
2) resyncing the origional controller as well as the extra we bought
3) taking the entire set-up apart, placing it back in its original packaging and starting over again

any ideas on what to try next? the only thing we can think of is that we are not resyncing correctly...thanks for the help

I have updated firmware, unplugged and replugged, gone from WEP to WPA-TKIP and changed the Mac filter settings, and now I am lost. Any help? I can supply any info if you need it.
