I am trying to update my wii and it says unable to find an acess point.please confirm the SSID and try again then visit support.nintendo.com for assistance.

If you are unable to find the access point itself this is likely due to a configuration within your router. There are a couple of possibilities here. If you have a dual channel router and have only configured the 5 GHz frequencies your Wii will not find them. If you have hidden your SSID (chosen not to broadcast it) this of course will also prevent it from being seen... and in the case of most Wii models; it will also prevent you from even finding it manually.

There is no option to disconnect the wireless capabilities of the Wii, so again, it is likely something in your router's config.

Unable to Find Wireless Access Point Nintendo Support

Have you set up your wifi connection? The Wii connects through a wireless router connection.

how to connect online with sat router

You need first to have a wireless router for your wii to receive a signal, once this is set up you need to call your cable provider for the ssid#. This will link your wii to the router so that you can access internet/ netflix. Another way to do this if you don't have a router is to connect your wii directly into you bradband modem using an ethernet cable. I hope this helps.

Maybe there is something blocking the Wii console and Access point. Try moving your console closer to the modem.

Restart modem + router

SSID is basically the name of your network. A lot of people's networks are named the generic "Netgear" or "Quest_(random number)", but some people like me have a custom set network name.

To find your SSID, type in the address bar 192.168.0.1 exactly, no .com or www. Once you arrive to the network page, search around for either SSID or network name, as their basically the same. You can also try to find it be searching around a computer that's connected to the network. You should be able to find it in the system tray, as pictured here.


Hover over the circled icon, and it should say the name of your network. That's what SSID means.

NOTE: If you're trying to connect to your network by wireless connection with the Wii, try the "Search for an Access Point" option and see if your network appears. If it doesn't, then try entering your SSID.
