The Wii is no longer Nintendo's flagship console, but this fun little system still has some gas in the tank. In addition to all of the great games released for the Wii, Nintendo also made a number of apps available for the system. These apps are referred to as channels, and they're the reason you can watch Netflix on your Wii.
How to Add the Netflix Channel on Your Wii
The Wii doesn't have as many useful apps as its successors, the Wii U and Switch, but it does have both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The Netflix channel is free, so if you have a Netflix account, all you have to do is download it, log in, and start watching.
Here's how to get Netflix on Wii:
- From the main Wii home menu, select the Wii Shop Channel.
- Select Start.
- Select Start Shopping.
- Select the Wii Channels menu.
- If you don't see Netflix, scroll down.
- Select Netflix.
- Note: If you still don't see Netflix, look for it in the Titles You've Downloaded menu.
- Select Free.
- Select either Wii System Memory or SD Card.
- Select OK.
- Select Yes.
- Wait for the channel to download, and the Download Successful message to appear.
- Select OK.
- Select Wii Menu.
- Select the Netflix Channel to launch Netflix.

What to Do if You Can't Find the Netflix Channel
In some cases, you won't find the Netflix channel in the Wii Channels menu. It should still be possible to get Netflix on your Wii, but you'll have to look for the channel in a different location.
If you don't see Netflix in the Wii Channels menu:
- From the main Wii home menu, select the Wii Shop Channel.
- Select Start.
- Select Start Shopping.
- Select Titles You've Downloaded.
- If you don't see Netflix, scroll down.
- Select Netflix.
Using a Wii to Watch High Definition Content
Unlike its contemporary competitors, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the Wii doesn't have an HDMI port, meaning you can't use it to watch 1080p content. In fact, the default A/V cable that came with the Wii is only capable of outputting a 480i video signal.

If you connect your Wii with an optional component cable, you can output a 480p signal. However, you still won't be able to watch high definition content, because the Wii hardware simply isn't cable of outputting video in 720p or 1080p.
If your television is good at upscaling low definition content, the picture will look a lot better than if your television isn't good at scaling.

How to Fix Netflix Problems on Wii
Most Netflix problems on Wii are caused by network connectivity, account problems, or corrupted local data in the Netflix channel app.
If Netflix won't work on your Wii, try these basic troubleshooting tips:
- If you get the Unable to connect to Netflix error, select Try Again.
- If Netflix still doesn't work, select More Details > Deactivate, then log back into Netflix.
- If your Wii is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi and you have an ethernet adapter, try connecting via ethernet.
- If you can't connect via ethernet, try moving your Wii and your router closer to each other.
Sometimes a Wii or Wii U is unable to read a disk, or the game will freeze or crash. And, occasionally, the console won't play any disk at all. Before you throw the disk in the trash or the console out the window, here are a couple of things that might get you back to playing games.
What to Do if a Single Disk Won't Play
If a disk won't play properly, check whether there's anything on the disk that would prevent the console from reading it. If you hold the bottom side of the disk to the light you should be able to see any smudges or scratches.
If it's a smudge, cleaning the disk will often fix the problem.Try using the microfiber cloths used to clean eyeglasses or, alternatively, a tissue is second best. Be sure, however, that the tissue doesn't include lotion of any kind. Just rub the smudged spot. (When using a tissue, steam up the spot with your breath first.)
Don't exert more force than necessary; it's a flimsy disk, not a kitchen sink. Once the disk looks clean, put it back into the console and see what happens. If it still doesn't work, find a brighter light and look again; you may have missed something.
A scratch is more problematic. If it's a game you just bought, try exchanging it where you bought it. Otherwise, you can try polishing out the scratch; there's a good instructional article on dealing with scratches at WikiHow.
Some older Wii units have trouble with dual-layer discs, which pack more info onto a disk (games that use dual-layer disks include Xenoblade Chronicles, or Metroid Prime Trilogy). If you have a Wii that is having trouble reading a dual layer disc you can try a lens cleaning kit available at any optical store.

If you've cleaned the disk and cleaned the Wii and it still won't play, it's probably just a bad disc.
Make sure you are using the right disk for your console. Some people still don't realize that the Wii and the Wii U are different consoles. The Wii U is backwards compatible, so it will play Wii games, but the Wii isn't forward compatible, so a Wii U disk will not play on a Wii.
What to Do if No Disks Will Play
Cleaning the console with a lens cleaning kit is the first thing to you should try if the console isn't reading any disks. If you're lucky, the only problem is a dirty lens.
If cleaning the lens doesn't help, you can also try a system update.
If cleaning and updating don't do anything, it's time to contact Nintendo.
