I just had this problem. The Wii needs an update. Go to this site and follow the instructions. Netflix should work after the update .

I can't get connected to Netflix.All that pops up is error code 209826

Error code 209826. Is this with a Wii? Error code references "Problem connecting to the Wii Shop channel. Either a problem with the router or the Wii Shop may be temporarily
down. Try again later."

I recommend turning off the Wii completely. Check the wireless router and unplug the router, but do not disconnect the cable. Keep powered off for 5 minutes. Plug router back in, let all the lights power up and then turn the Wii on and attempt to connect again. Should the issue continue, you may need to go through the Wii network set up and verify that it is communicating with the router.

Wii will not connect with server. Error code: 051030

1RepairStop.com

Error Code: 051030
Unable to connect to your wireless network
Likely cause: Your wireless router may need to be power cycled, or the connection settings have changed.
How to fix: Power cycle your router; redo the connection settings on the Wii and try again.
  • Did this connection used to work but has suddenly stopped? "Power cycle" your router and modem. To do this, unplug both the modem and the router from the power outlet. Wait a few minutes, and plug the modem back in. Wait a couple of minutes for the modem to initialize, then plug in the router. Try to connect the Wii, Nintendo DS, or Nintendo 3DS online and test for proper response.

  • Erase your old connection settings on the Wii and set up a new one, as your router's settings may have changed since you last connected. We suggest following our guide to create a new connection file and start over. If at the end you still need help, you'll find contact information to reach our specially-trained representatives.

Bought a used wii and won't connect to the internet to run netflicks getting error code 051030

This is not an error with Netflix, but rather it is an error with your wireless network set-up. I have seen many people have trouble connecting the Wii to their home networks, and it does not appear to be very user-friendly. Here is the page from Nintendo's official customer support center about your error code and how to fix it.

I just signed up for netflix and am trying to hook it up to my wii to watch movies. The wii is properly connected and hooked up, and we have a wireless internet connection in my home, however when i go to...

Error code 51030 means you Wii is unable to connect to your wireless network.
Try unplugging your modem and wireless router, then plugging them back in after a couple minutes.
While you're waiting for your modem and router, delete your network setting from your Wii, and set them back up once your router and modem are back up.
Your wireless router's setting might have changed and your Wii might not be able to properly connect.

Keep getting error code 051030 unable to connect to server. we have wireless in our home which is working.

051030 is a 'too busy' error, so it's probably an issue with Nintendo's servers rather than your wii.
In this case all you can is try again later.

It can also be caused by interference of other wireless networks in the neighbourhood. If this is the case try changing the WLAN channel of your wii to 11, as most routers default channel is 6, this will give your fequency a bit of seperation from the other wireless connections.
