My Wii's weird-ass internet connection: Error code 61070

Lately, ever since I moved back into the dorms at college, my Wii's internet connection has been acting very strange. WiiConnect24 seems to work fine, I can get updates to my channels OK, and my connection tests are successful, but I can't play my games online!

Every time I load a game and try to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi, I get the same error message "Communication error. You have been disconnected from Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, error code 61070" every single time.

I really don't know what the hell is wrong with this thing, but my sincerest apologies to all my Brawl, Mario Kart, and Guitar Hero friends. Looks like I'll be offline for quite a while until I can figure this out. I will still make and upload videos, but I can't play online until I can solve this puzzle.

Credit goes to Homer Simpson, the Tourettes Guy, KingofTerrors, and Firestarter322 for the audio clips I spliced in.

You have to put down your firewall. Go into Nintendo's help website for more info. Hope this helps someone. :)

if ur using wireless, it may be cuz sumone else is using the wireless network near u. if it is wired, then prob is that usb connecter needs to be downloaded

Some wii games only support WEP encryption for online play like the ds/dsi.

WPA/WPA2 encryption only supports connect24/shop channel/opera browser/other channels.
