Wii console not working correctly

Yesterday I connected to the internet wirelessly for the first time. Everything worked fine for the day. Noticed when we tried to power down that the light didn't go off it looks like it went amber and the slot where you insert the disc stays blue w/ the lights on. However, today we are now unable to turn the Wii console on. It stays amber and the disc area stays blue.

When you connect to the internet wirelessly and Wii Connect24 your Wii will stay connected and recieve messages, updates, etc. That is why the disk area stays blue and the amber light stays on. Sometimes this will create a power failure. Just unplug your Wii from the wall and let it rest for a few minutes and plug it back in. The problem should be solved.

Testimonial: "after unplugging, and plugging back in, it worked just as the expert said it would."

Try cheaking your internet connection if your connection is fine try updating if its up to date then you should hard reset your Wii by going to Wii Options then look for Format Wii System Memory.
(Backup first if needed).

Everything is in there. If you still can't connect it restore and update your console you can save your game progress in a Sd card that worked for me.
Good luck

Cant connect to the internrt via talktalk modem

Hello,

This could easily be an issue with either your TalkTalk internet connection or your Wii. I did experience issues connecting my Nintendo Wii console at first too, but after getting a new router, it works just fine.

The Nintendo Wii console has never been a very good internet-enabled console anyway, and alot of wireless settings will not be compatible with it.

Make sure that your TalkTalk router is using WEP or WPA-PSK security. You can also try changing the Wireless Channel and MTU Size. make sure the MTU size is set at 1450, the channel can be anything, but only a few should work. You can access these settings easily by just going to Internet Explorer and typing in:
  1. 192.168.1.1 for D-Link and Huawei
  2. 192.168.0.1 for Netgear
  3. 192.168.1.254 for Thompson Speedtouch
If TalkTalk did supply your router, then it should be one of the models mentioned above.

If you have any laptops or phones that use the wireless and it works fine, then it may just be the Wii console. TalkTalk will not support the Wii or any video game console so there's no point in calling them for support.
I work for TalkTalk as a senior technician, so I hope this information helps.
Take Care.

This problem is related to either your internet security key or your IP Address settings. Double check to verify these settings are correct.
