answer:That sounds probable. If your DS if working fine and the Wii can’t see it unless the DS it right on top of it, then the WiFi card might be broken. The only thing I can suggest, short of calling Nintendo, is taking it over to someone else’s house with a working WiFi network and seeing if it connects there. Also, as odd as it sounds, I have had many Nintendo systems in the past; try shaking the Wii. Not hard, of course, just shifting it back and forth. If you hear something moving that isn’t a fan; then you know your Wii is fujunked. The other thing you might try, if you have not already, is changing the signal your WiFi transmits on. I had my Wii acting strange when I got my new modem and my Airport. The Wii would connect by always time out, so I changed the Airports transmit channel to 10 and now everything is fantastic, and fast, very fast. Faster then I think it should be.
