Has anyone found a way to get system updates if you don't have a broadband
connection? I have a sat connection, which ought to be fast enough for the
wii but it isn't [IMO it is a programming/software bug: every OTHER
protocol does OK with the sat delay [a little jerky but they all work]...
only the wii can't deal with the delays]. I have gotten a few of the
"there's a system update bundled with this game" updates, but nothing has
updated the Wii Store machinery: if I try to go to the wii store, it tells
me that I need to update my software, which, of course, I can't do].
I can get the news and weather and such just fine, so the basic "connect"
machinery is just fine, not just-fine-enough for the system updater. Is
there *anything* I can do?
Thanks! /bernie\

My wii updates just fine using my sat connection (Wildblue) and a wireless
connection (Netgear router), so it can be done.
You don't give any details which makes it difficult for anyone to offer any
specific advice. Which sat service do you use? Is your connection wired or
wireless? If wireless, what type of router you are using?
If you are connecting via a wireless router, you may need to change some
settings that are specific to that router.
For specific router information, try here:

Good luck!

It comes with the same stuff - I have a PAL version and there's lot's
more than just the heading and skiing.

norwegian Nintendo page and could not find anything ...
Take care

Family Ski (or We Ski) is the only one I knew of, but there are apparently a
lot more.
