For those with a Wii

Lately, I am having a tougher and tougher time connecting to the online shop to purchase and download new games through the virtual console. I've verified that all of my wireless settings are correct but I keep getting Error Code: 051330

Has anyone else had problems connecting? I got my Wii about 2 weeks after it was released and it seems it keeps getting worse and worse.

Damnit, I want to download Super Metroid. I connected long enough to pay with points and start the download but it always times out.

I did update the system after about 10 tries.

It says Excellent.

Who knows though. I never used to have problems. My laptops and PS3 work fine. I have never been able to get my 360 to connect.

Ok, I figured it out. I haven't had a few hours of spare time in a LONG TIME. Two kids will do that to you.

Anyways, I changed some settings on my wireless N router. I assigned it a network ID of 11 instead of automatic and changed my security level from WPA-2 TKIP to WPA AES. Even my X-box 360 connected. Too bad my year gold membership expired a few months back.

So, I was playing Super Metroid and I just picked up the ball. Too bad I can't figure out how to turn into it.

Where does the Wii store these games since it doesn't have a hard disk, and what happens if your Wii takes a pii (ie dump)?

You can back up the games to an SD card.

Not sure what P2P is.

But IIRC all of the games have DRM that only allows them to be played on the Wii they were downloaded to. So the SD card just becomes a backup or extra storage. Can't put the game on an SD card and then take it over to a friend's house.
