RE: Wii won't find my wifi
are you sure your Router isn't in an invisible mode?

Have you tried manually inputting the details rather than an Auto search?

go to (for example) 192.168.0.1 (ie...your routers IP address). Go into whatever option mentions your SSID, and either write down your SSID, or enable droadcasting if its disabled

^ that, and for the DNS details etc.

Go to the computer that's connected with the WiFi, click Start, go to Run, type "cmd", hit enter.

When the Command Prompt appears, type 'ipconfig' and hit enter.

It SHOULD be labeled under 'Wireless Local Area Connection 1' or something similar - but the details you need should be there.

RE: Wii won't find my wifi
I think i fixed it but its not a good fix, basicly i think the wii had issues with the WPA key i set even thought its ment to compatible with the ecryption so what i did was turn the excryption off and it worked.
