51130This is a General Troubleshooting error code and does not have any one specific cause. You'll need to try the following steps to try to solve the problem.
1. Your wireless router sends out an internet signal using a specific "channel" (much like a radio broadcasts over the airwaves). You can change the "channel" that your wireless router uses to broadcast the internet signal manually. Nintendo suggests setting your wireless router to either channel 1 or 11, as these are supposed to be the fastest channels for download speed. The Nintendo website has a guide that shows you how to change the channel on your wireless router. https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/routers/index.jsp
2. In addition to the broadcasting channel, there is also a broadcast setting. This can be set to either "G", "B", or "Mixed." Nintendo suggests that the "Mixed" setting gives the best network connection, but you might need to try all three settings to get the best network connection.
3. Home appliances and other devices that are near to your console, like microwaves and cordless phones, might cause interference with your wireless network connection, so try turning these off. Other wireless devices like keyboards and computer mice can also interfere with your network connection.
Error Code: 52130
The Wii is unable to connect to the Internet Likely cause: The wireless router is incorrectly connected, or the Wii console will need a DNS manually entered. How to fix: Check the way your router is connected; manually assign a DNS to the Wii.
Check the connections to your wireless router:
Even if you are able to get a working Internet connection to your computer through the wireless router, if it is not properly connected to the modem, the Wii and other devices may not be able to use it.
Most routers have five (5) ports on the back. Typically there is a set of four, with a single port either farther away from the rest, or separated with a different color border or line. This single port is often labeled "Internet" or "INT." Make sure the cable coming out of your modem is plugged directly into this "Internet" port, and not into one of the other four that are grouped together.
Manually change your Wii console's DNS settings. To do this, follow these steps:
Access the Wii system settings (how to), and use the right arrow twice and select "Internet."
Select "Connection Settings," and choose the connection file (1, 2, or 3) that are you are currently using.
Select "Change settings" and click the right arrow 3 times to reach "Auto-Obtain DNS."
Select "No," and choose "Advanced Settings."
Click into the "Primary DNS" field and enter: 8.8.8.8
Click into the "Secondary DNS" field and enter: 8.8.4.4
Select "Confirm," and then "Save."
Select "OK" to start the connection test. Once the test finishes, try to download the update again.
If you are still getting this error code after trying the steps above, please call 1-800-255-3700 for further assistance.
Error code 50230 is thrown when the Wii's internet connection has not yet been configured. These instructions on configuring the connection settings come from Nintendo's website at:
Power on your Wii console and press the A Button on the Wii Remote
to reach the Wii main menu. Use the Wii Remote to select the "Wii"
button.
Now, select "Wii Settings" to access the "Wii System Settings" menu.
Using the arrow on the right side of the screen, scroll to page two and select "Internet."
Select "Connection 1: None"
(Don't see "None" in Connection 1? Click the Connection 1 button, then choose "Clear Settings.")
Click on "Wireless Connection" and then "Search for an Access Point."
(Are you using a wired Internet connection to your Wii console? If so, click here for specific help.)
Select "OK" and the Wii will display all the wireless networks it finds.
Select the wireless network that is yours.
(If you're not sure which is yours, or you don't see any wireless networks, click here.)
Asked to enter a security key?
If you are prompted to "Enter the
Password or Key," then the wireless network you are trying to connect to
has wireless security turned on. You will need to type in your security
key or password and select "OK."

Select "OK," "Save Settings," and then "Yes."
The Wii console will run a connection test with your wireless
network when the test is completed. You should see the following screen:
As long as you see "The connection test was successful," the "Wii Support Code" does not matter and can be ignored
The connection test was successful
- Then you're almost done! After your connection test, the Wii console
will check if there is a new Wii System Update available. Once you
select "Yes" and "I Accept," the Wii will begin to download any
available updates. Click here to find out what's next!
The connection test was not successful - If the test was not successful, you will receive an error code.
Error Code 51330 or 52130: This means the
security code you entered into the Wii is not the same one your router
is set to. Look in your router's settings and try again. Please refer to
step seven (7) above for more information.

ignore any "Wii Support Code" you receive on a connection test.)
From
the main channel menu on the Wii, hit the Wii button. Then navigate to
Wii Settings > Internet (page 2). Select an empty connection, choose
your connection type and then follow the on-screen instructions. You
should first try choosing "Automatic" or "Auto-Detect" whenever
possible. If that doesn't work, try using Manual settings.
That error code means you havent connected your wii to the internet as yet, for further information and details see the below link direct from Nintendo's website -

How are you attempting to connect your Wii console online?
Adjust the Wii's manual settings. Click
here for more information.
Try adjusting the "Channel" your
wireless router broadcasts
on. We highly recommend setting your wireless router to
either
channel 1 or 11. Be sure to try both channels if the
first one
you try does not work. This can potentially increase the
download
speed. For information on accessing your router's
settings, click
here to select the brand name and model number of
your router
(if available). (The "Channel" setting is typically
found in the "Wireless" section of your router's setup
utility.)
If adjusting the "Channel" did not work, please review
our "Slow

troubleshooting
tips by clicking here.
Try temporarily disabling your router's firewall.*
Are you using a Netgear brand wireless router? Our expeirence
shows disabling the "SPI Firewall" of the router may
help the connection. The "SPI Firewall" option is
typically found
under the "WAN Setup" tab of the router's settings. For
information on accessing your router's settings, please click
here and select
the model of the Netgear router you own (if available).

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB
Connector
Does your PC have any security programs (firewall,
anti-virus,
anti-spyware, anti-adware, etc.) installed? If you are using the
Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, and have a software firewall or
other
computer security program installed on your computer, there may
be additional steps you must complete to allow a successful
connection.
"Trusted" Applications:
If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted
applications
(also known as a "trusted zone"), the following programs are installed
with
the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, and require internet communications.
If prompted
by your firewall or PC security program, add these to the list of
trusted applications.
This information may also apply to certain computer security
applications,
such as anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.:
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector USB (NintendoWFCReg.exe)
Setup.exe (when installing the USB Connector)
SoftAPInstDrv.bin
mdriver.exe
If you are using a router, you may need to temporarily
disable the router's
firewall to allow the Wii console to connect online and receive a
system update.
Once the update is received, you can turn the firewall back on. For
information
on locating and disabling your router's firewall, please consult the
router's
manual or contact the manufacturer of the router.
