An Introduction To The Wii Error Codes

The Nintendo Wii is a great gaming system, but it does come with occasional operating errors. Understanding the Wii error codes is important to enable gamers to determine what should be done to keep their Wii systems in top form. The most common error codes encountered by most gamers are listed below.

Error Code 32030: The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers are apparently down for routine maintenance. Try again later.

Error Code 32002: The console was no able to receive an update due to technical issues with Nintendo servers. Try again later.

Error Code 32003: Not enough space is available in your Wii console's internal memory to install the most recent update. Clear room in the Wii console's internal memory by transferring certain items to a compatible SD Card, or deleting unneeded save game data or downloads.

Error Code 32004: Satellite and dial-up are the most common causes of this error message. Try waiting several hours until reconnecting. It's also possible that your internet service provider (ISP) may not be compatible with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If using a Wireless router, try adjusting the channel that your router broadcasts on. Channels 1 and 11 are recommended. If you using a Netgear branded router, try changing the SPI firewall settings. If using the Wi-Fi USB Connector, try temporarily disabling any security programs on your PC, or add these following applications to your firewall's trusted list:

* Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector USB
* Setup.exe
* SoftAPInstDrv.bin
* mdriver.exe

Error Code 107310: Caused by a technical issue with the Wii's flash memory not being properly formatted.

Change your Wi-fi router to channel 1 or 11 and move your Wii nearer to your Wi-fi router. Check your router's broadcast settings. The "Mixed" setting typically works best.

Error Code 50420-50422: The Wii LAN Adapter is improperly installed.

Error Codes 51000-51099: Adjust the "Channel" on which your wireless router broadcasts. We recommend setting the wireless router to channel 1 or 11 to potentially increase download speed. Ensure that your router is compatible.
Verify that the proper Connection File (1, 2, or 3) is selected in the Wii System Settings. If you have multiple connection files setup, and you have recently received a system update, it is possible that the update has caused the Wii console to select a different Connection File.

Ensure that network name (SSID) matches exactly to what was entered in the Wii console's settings. Log in to your router using the default IP. Look for the section for SSID. After you find the SSID (network name), verify in the Internet Settings of your Wii console that the SSID is appearing exactly as listed in your router. Ensure that capitalization, spaces, or special characters match exactly.

Type "IPCONFIG/ALL" and press Enter. Enter in the exact same values for Primary DNS and Secondary DNS into the Wii console. If using a Wi-Fi USB connector, go to your network connection settings on your computer and make sure Internet Sharing is enables on the USB Connector's connection.

Error Codes 52200-52299: The Access Point you are attempting to connect from is not connected to the internet or a firewall is blocking the Wii console's connection to the internet.
