If this did not work for you there is also another reason people receive your particular error code. In some instances if you have a GameCube Memory Card inserted into the Wii during power up the Wii had on rare circumstances displayed this code. You could try removing the memory card and then restarting your system.
I hope you found this information helpful and I wish you the best of luck. Thank you for using FixYa.
Don't know how to find your router's password?
Look for a sticker on the bottom of your router. Many routers provided by Internet service providers have their default password located on a sticker on the bottom of the router.
