Nintendo Wii Error Code 51330 usually indicates that the WEP/WPA key you set on your Wii is not the correct one to gain access to your router. When you setup a router for wireless internet, you usually set a WEP key or by default one is set. This is basically a security key(password) that you set so any device that wants to use your internet has to enter correctly in order to gain access. If you know your router security key, go into your Wii network settings and make sure it is entered correctly. Click here to read my tech article on how to configure your Wii's network settings. If you do not know the security key of your router, then read my other article by clicking here. This article will go over how to find the router security key or if need be, set one.

A. Do you have the SSID for your Linksys router as just "linksys"? That name is so common that someone nearby might have set up a new router and left it the same name as well... and your Wii is trying to connect to THEIR "linksys" instead of yours. Try changing the name broadcast by your router to something else, then try connecting using that new name.

B. Be sure you are typing in the WEP or WPA passphrase correctly, it is SO easy to mess up one simple letter in the code and nothing will work. I've gotten dozens of service calls for iPods and games where the customer said their code didn't work, but worked for me when I got there. I know, it's frustrating, just be SURE you have the code 100% correct.

Wii error code 51330 It is unlikely that your Wii console needs any type of repair, as according to the Nintendo Error Code Lookup, the 51330 error code is "usually indicates a problem relating to wireless security."

Error Code: 51330 This error code usually indicates a problem relating to wireless security. Please try the following troubleshooting:

1. Are you using WEP or WPA security on your router?
   1. Log into the router using the default IP (consult your router's manual for assistance)
      
   2. Locate the "wireless security" section of your router settings and find the WEP or WPA key.
      
   3. If you are using 64-bit encryption, the WEP Key must be a 10-character key consisting of numbers or letters A through F.
      
   4. If you are using 128-bit encryption, the WEP Key must be a 26-character key consisting of numbers or letters A through F.
      
   5. The WEP Key must be a Hexadecimal (0-9, A-F, no other special characters or letters).
      
   6. If your router has multiple slots for a WEP Key, make sure the active key is the one in the #1 slot.
      
   7. If you are using WPA, the Wii console is compatible with the following types:
      • WPA - PSK (TKIP)

      • WPA2 - PSK (AES)
        

2. 
   

3. If your WEP or WPA key is correct, then the problem might be related to MAC address filtering:
   1. From the router settings, locate the "MAC address filter" settings (also known as "access control", "access list", or "network filter" depending on your router model).
      
   2. If the Mac address filter is set to "enabled", then you must add the Wii's MAC address to the "allowed" list. You can locate the Wii's MAC address from the "console information" page (located under "Internet" in the Wii Settings).
      
   3. If the Mac address filter was disabled, then continue troubleshooting.
