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.

Unable to connect to your wireless network
Likely cause: It appears that the security settings entered into the Wii console are not the same as what your wireless router is set to allow, or your router is not able to assign the Wii an IP address.
How to fix: Make sure the security key and security type are entered into the Wii exactly as they appear in your router's settings; manually assign an IP address to the Wii.

Error Code 51330 or 52130: This means the security code you entered into the Wii is not the same one your router is set to. Look in your router's settings and try again.

The error code basically means it cannot establish a connection to the network, like it can't even acquire an IP address.

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)
      • WPA - PSK (AES)
      • WPA2 - PSK (AES)


2. 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.

3. Check Nintendo's router info for special notes, if available, for your router.
   1. Click here to go to our Wireless Router lookup page.
   2. Use the drop-down box to select, if available, your router manufacturer.
   3. Click on your router's model number, if available.
   4. Read any "special notes" at the top of the router's page. Many issues can be solved by changing settings described in the "special notes."



4. Try a "Manual Setup" with the Wii console (how to), using your network's IP configuration settings. To access these settings:
   1. On your PC, click "Start" and then "Run."
   2. Type "CMD" into the field that appears to open a new window.
   3. Type "IPCONFIG/ALL" and press "Enter" to display a list of internet settings. Locate the settings asked for by the Wii console during the Manual Setup process and enter them.



5. Power cycle your router and modem by unplugging them both from the wall. Wait a few minutes, and plug the modem back in. Wait a couple of minutes for the modem to initialize, then turn on the router. Try to connect the Wii console online and test for proper response.

try to set your channel to either 1 or 11.set also your router's broadcast setting to 'mixed'.place your wii near router with no interference from microwaves or such.if router setting is set up to allow only selected pc's (or mac addresses),don't forget to include wii's mac address to enable it to have access to the router.if your router password type is wpa,make sure also you know whether it's wpa-psk AES,wpa2-psk AES or wpa-psk TKIP,you need to consciously choose the right one on your wii internet setting.also,you could switch the dns ip addresses around like put 2nd ip address in primary and 1st ip address in secondary.no guarantees,hope this helps.
