Registering a Wii to use UD's wireless network

In order to use UD's network, all devices must be registered for use on UD's wireless network. Nintendo Wii consoles do not have a Web browser. Therefore, you will need to send your Wii console's MAC address to the IT Support Center to use it on UD's wireless network.

First step: Find your Wii console's MAC address

  1. On the Wii home menu (also called the Channel Menu), click the Wii button in the lower left corner.
  2. Select Wii Settings.
  3. Scroll to the second page of settings by clicking the right arrow (right side of the Settings screen).
  4. Select Internet.
  5. Select Console Information. (Some versions of the Wii software may have a Console Settings button instead.)
  6. 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.
  7. Click Back repeatedly to return to the main Wii Menu.

Second step: Send the MAC address to the IT Support Center

  1. Open a Help Request Form.
  2. Provide
    • your first and last name
    • room number and building
    • phone number
    • UDelNet ID (UD email address)
      • Note: Your request will not be processed if you do not provide your UDelNet ID (UD email address).
    • equipment type [Other (describe) then type Wii]
    • the 12-character MAC address you recorded [in the form's Problem details section].
  3. Click Submit form.
