  • Your router is possibly already setup for wireless and sending out a signal even if you are connecting your own pc to it with a cable because your computer does not have wireless capability.;)

    Now this is where my DD is the expert!! I know you can download games from the Wii shop and you have to pay in either points collected (as an earlier poster mentioned) or by purchasing a points card with points loaded on to it. The cards can also be bought in the Wii shop which you can access with the Wii console once it has updated

  • Glad I could help, for someone who calls themselves dumb I think you've done a brilliant job. You can download other channels in the Wii shop ie Forecast Channel, Photo, Voting etc for free so have a go with those first. The link gives you more information about the points system. Have fun! :D

    That's right, the orange light means it is on standby

    Do you mean on particular games?

    On certain games (like Mario Kart for example) you can get a friend code, you can exchange friend codes with your neighbour and you should be able to play online together
