Wi-Fi thru iphone want use with wii?

I have Wi-Fi thru my iphone as a hotspot and it works great with my other devices but is not with the wii. It will notice it as an option to select but for some reason is not recognizing my security password. Is there something I'm missing? I go to setup a new wireless device find my iphone in the list of options but when put in password it gives me an error message. Any ideas?

Okay I hope I understand your question correctly. You can't use your iphone to 'relay' a Wi-Fi signal -> connect to a Wi-Fi network and use it as a hotspot at the same time.

  • Wii console and hotspot connection? Why won't my wii pick up my iPhones hotspot? I go into wireless setting and do a search while my phones hotspot is turned on… But it won't turn up when I search for Wi-Fi options. I even tried to plug my phone into my wii using a USB? My hotspot works on my laptop and my Mac…
  • Why won't my iphone hotspot connect to my wii? I have an iphone 5 and I keep trying to connect it to my Nintendo wii with the hotspot, but every time I input my password and I keep getting error code 51330 which means my password is wrong, but it's right! I know it is, I have put it in several times and changed it. Whenever I do something or mess with settings the error code changes.
  • Should I get a Wii U even if I have a Nintendo Wii? I can't really decide on what I want for christmas and I have lots of money saved but I do not need anything expensive such as an iPhone but I'm giving the opportunity to get the new wii u for christmas if I'm that sure if I want it! But the question is, is it worth getting if I already still have a Nintendo Wii?
  • Lego harry potter for wii and iphone? So I have lego harry potter years 1-4 and 5-7 on my iphone. I loved 1-4 but hated 5-7. I don't like the way its set up and everything. But I'm considering getting them for the wii. So I was wondering how are the wii version? Is it easy and fun? Is it worth it? And how much is it alike and different from the iphone versions. Also is it closer to 1-4 or 4-7?
