Many Wii gamers trying to get online via Wi-Fi have been thwarted by some 5-digit errors (51330, 52130). What's funny is that often the Wii system updates will download fine, but try connecting a minute later to accept the User Agreements for Wii Shop and you'll be denied. Here are some tactics that may help you solve the problem:
Make sure your router is on the list of supported hardware
Update your router to the latest firmware
Reboot your router
Switch your router to broadcast on channel 1 or 11
Adjust your router settings to allow both 802.11g and 802.11b, if supported
Avoid using microwave ovens, cordless phones and other 2.4GHz devices while connecting
Move your router closer to your Wii or use a repeater to extend its range
Change the MTU setting to 1400
Manually configure your router with your Wii's MAC address
Assign a manual IP address, DNS servers, etc.
Spend $35-45 on a Wi-Fi USB Connector for your Windows XP PC (sorry, no Mac version yet)
Wait for the Wii LAN Adapter (due in January)
