Registering a Wii to use UD's wireless network
Before using UD's networks or the Internet, the MAC address for all devices must be registered with UD.
Nintendo Wii consoles do not have a Web browser. Therefore, you will need to
- find your Wii console's MAC address and
- register it manually at UD's Network Page.
First step: Find your Wii console's MAC address
- On the Wii home menu (also called the Channel Menu), click the Wii button in the lower left corner.
- Select Wii Settings.
- Scroll to the second page of settings by clicking the right arrow (right side of the Settings screen).
- Select Internet.
- Select Console Information. (Some versions of the Wii software may have a Console Settings button instead.)
- Write down the MAC address for your Wii console. It is a combination of 12 numerals and letters (0-9, a-f), often displayed with a -, : or . character between groups of characters. (Example: 77:c6:f8:95:b3:a6)
- Click Back repeatedly to return to the main Wii Menu.
Second step: Register the MAC address manually
From a computer that you have already registered for wired (Ethernet) or wireless access to UD's network, submit your Wii's MAC address to us via the UD Network Page.-
Go to the UD Network page.
The Network Page will open in separate tab or window so you can keep these instructions open while registering your Wii console. - Choose the second option under Registering for
Internet Access. The option reads as follows:
Manually register a different Internet-enabled device (Wii console, Xbox 360 console, etc.) for full Internet access. This option requires the device's MAC address.
- On the Manually Register Your Network Adapter page, type your Wii's 12-character MAC address in the first text box on the page.
- For your convenience we also suggest you type a description in the second text box--something like "John's Wii."
- Click Register Roaming IP.
- You can log out from the Network Page. Your Wii should be able to use the network within 30 minutes.
