I am one of the lucky people who have managed to acquire a Nintendo Wii. It is a great console, however, I was having a particularly hard time getting the Wii  Shop Channel to load. After starting the channel it would load … and load … and load, eventually I would get a time out and some sort of cryptic error code.

After doing some digging around on the InterTubes I came across a solution that worked for me: If you are able to access the adminstration area of your wireless access point/router, try changing the “Wireless Channel” that it uses to something else. In my case I set it to channel 11 and everything started working correctly. I’ve also heard that channel 1 works, so you may want to try that.

I happen to use the outstanding DD-WRT Control Panel for the Linksys WRT54G wireless router. When I load up the admin area, I simply go to the “Wireless” tab to change the wireless channel that is used. Here is a screenshot:

I don’ t know exactly why this works, but it does, and now I can enjoy a nice night of ExciteBike. Enjoy!
