Everybody’s Wii has their own Console Code. That’s easy, but finding them and registering isn’t so easy for some.
It’s okay if you don’t know how to do it. I had the same problem myself. I had to go spend an hour on the internet to figure out the answer.
There are two types of codes you can register Console Codes and Friend Codes go here to learn How To Set Up Friend Codes.
Console Codes allow you to send mails to your friends and other stuff. It’s a great way if you want to trade friend codes.
Anyways to find and register your console code for you to write letters to your friends you have to:

- Then click the Create Wii message at the bottom right.
- Click on address book, the one to the right to find your friend code.
- On the address book click register at the bottom right and then put your friend’s friend code and you guys/gals are set for life (or until one of you get a new system).

How to add Friend Codes for the Wii
Every Nintendo WFC wii game has their own friend code. It’s fairly simple to swap them with your friends.
There are two types of codes console codes and friend codes, don’t mess them up. Console codes allow you to communicate with your friends via the wii, but friend codes allows you to play games with them online.
To find and register your friend code, you have to:
- Get a game that supports Nintendo WFC
- Go on to Nintendo WFC
- Click on whatever buttons you can find that says something about friends.
- In here you’ll probably find your friend codes and a option to add friends.
- You and your friends both add each others friend code, and then you’re set!
Note: You both have to add each other, otherwise it won’t work.
This is the most annoying part, but once you’re done, you’re done for life, or at least a very long time. You can make things easier by mailing your friend codes, talking to each other on the phone, emailing, etc

How to connect to Nintendo WFC for the Wii
Setting up your Nintendo Wii for Nintendo WFC may be easy for some, but, it might be harder for others.
There are two ways for you to go play on wi-fi. You can:
• Use a wireless router (which most people have nowadays).
• Use a special wi-fi USB to create a wireless router type environment for your internet
Warning: The Wi-Fi USB works only with Windows XP.
But if you get really desperate you can bring your Television, Wii, and all the cords to McDonalds and use their free wi-fi 
. But no, seriously don’t do that
Setting Up Your Wii
Connecting with the Wii is easy. These are the steps to get everything set up:
1. Get one of your games that have wi-fi. Find the option that lets you go on Nintendo WFC. You’ll always find the option that says something along the lines of Nintendo WFC setup, click it.
Or…
A1. You can click on the button that says Wii at the bottom left corner of the main menu à Wii settings à Wii settings 2 à Internet à Connection Settings
2. Choose Nintendo Wi-Fi connection Settings and you’ll see a screen with 3 boxes. Each box can be used to play on wi-fi at different places. Choose one of them and move on.
Or
A2. If you have the wi-fi USB you must install the cd that comes with it onto your computer. Then plug the wi-fi USB in the computer, choose the Connect to your Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, and then you’re finish! You must still have internet. Skip to step 6
3. Now click on the Search for an Access Point. It’ll look for the entire internet around you to use for your wi-fi. Once it’s done searching look for the name of your internet network, or something else (like McDonald, don’t know though) and then choose it.
Note: Must of the network places are locked and would need a password.
4. Once you find your network put in you WEP key a.k.a the password to your internet. If you don’t know your password you can usually check in the tag behind your wireless router.
5. Once you do that the Wii will check for internet connection, and once its finish, and nothing bad happens, you’re good!
6. Now that you have everything set up you must do the last and most important thing… go online and have fun!
Now, I have never used the USB method before, but there are rumors that the USB can help you connect better online with other people.
Having wi-fi is one thing, but most games will require you to have friend codes too. Friend codes are needed to keep you safe from strangers and connect you with friends.
