How do I set up the internet for the Wii so I can download music for my guiter heroes... :(

To set your Wii up to the internet, first, you need to either have a router and modem to wirelessly connect your Wii to the internet, or a hardline to wire it to your Wii.

Then, you need to go into your Wii system settings, and enable internet access, configure it, and allow internet downloads.


That being said, what version of Guitar Hero for Wii do you have? I know from experience that GHIII:LoR does not have any download content, and that GH:WT has no track packs, but rather only lets you download user-created tunes.

Step 1

In order to set up your Nintendo Wii internet connection, you need to have high speed internet service, such as DSL, cable, or fiber optic.

If you want to use a wired connection for your Wii, you will need to purchase the Nintendo Wii Lan Adapter and a long ethernet cable to reach your router or modem. The Wii Lan adapter is available from many sources for about $30 and the cable will cost you around $10 or more. If you want to plug in your computer and Wii at the same time, you will need a router. You do not need a router if you are planning on unplugging your computer when you use Wii over the internet. Honestly, wireless routers cost about $35 and don't require a cable, so I purchased a wireless router instead. Plus, I don't want an ugly cable running across the room.

If you still want to use the Wii Lan adapter to connect to the internet, here are the steps to connect your Wii Lan adapter to your Wii game system:

Make sure your Wii game system is turned off.

Attach the Wii Lan adapter to the USB port on the back of your console.

Connect the other end to an ethernet cable that goes to your router or modem.

Turn your console back on.
Step 2

If you are using the Nintendo Wii Lan Adapter to connect to the internet, follow this step. If you are connecting to the internet via a wireless router, skip this step and go to step 3.

To connect your Wii via a wired connection:

Go to the Wii Menu.

Click on the round Wii button on the lower left corner.

Click Wii Settings.

Click the right arrow to go to page 2.

Click on the Internet button.

Click Connection Settings.

Click Connection 3.

Click Wired Connection.

Your Wii will do a connection test and hopefully everything will be all set. You are now finished.
Step 3

To connect your Wii via a wireless connection:

Go to the Wii Menu.

Click on the round Wii button on the lower left corner.

Click Wii Settings.

Click the right arrow to go to page 2.

Click on the Internet button.

Click Connection Settings.

Click Connection 3.

Click Wireless Connection.

Select Search for Access Point. Click OK.

Select the access point you want to use. Click Save and OK.

You may be prompted to enter your password.

Your Wii should now be all connected.
Step 4

If you would like to browse the internet from your Wii, you will need to purchase the internet channel. For more information about this, see the link below.

1: Good Job at plagarizing techsavy. If I wanted to copy and paste from HERE (http://www.ehow.com/how_4712041_set-up-wii-internet-connection.html), I would have done it too.
If you take something that doesn't belong to you, at least give credit to where you found it.

2: Before taking up so much room, I wanted to see if the OP was committed to it, after learning she couldn't download what she wanted. Considering she was online and saw this thread after I posted, I'd take that as a no.

Yeah techsavy, you need to post your sources, you can't just post things up without telling us where you got it from unless you wrote it yourself.
