For FREE!!

Needed for this soluiton: A wii, The need to surf the internet on your TV with a Wii

These days game consoles aren’t worth very much if all they can do is play games. The Wii has revolutionized the way people play games in todays world but the Wii can also revolutionize the way you access the internet. The Wii internet channel has been recently backed by Opera which is a famous web browser. This enables you to go on your Wii and access the internet as long as your wii is connected to your home network.

Easy Steps are as follows:

  1. Make sure your Wii is connected to your home network
  2. Go to the wii shop channel
  3. Find the Wii Internet channel
  4. Buy it (although it’s free so it charges you nothing)

Once you have the Wii internet channel you can surf the internet just like on your computer. One thing that is unfortunate is that the browser does not use the latest version of flash so sites like hulu don’t stream video correctly. Other than that you have a fully functional web browser from your wii.

*standard wireless keyboards also work with the wii so you can plug them in via USB into the back of your wii. Definately advise this.
