Assuming it's using 802.11B or G, most wireless connection issues are caused by authentication issues. Make sure your device and your wireless router are both using the same authentication protocol, your password or connection string is correct, and you aren't using mac specific locking on your router, or include the mac address of the connecting device.

11g.
You cant impulse buy one now Luke; they are all gone! And all the units on the next shipment to Australia (Jan 20~ish) are already spoken for via Preorders.
TO EBAY!
Come round any time mate; just give me warning so i can put some pants on and clean up my Wii sticks.
I'm with Matthew; check your router's firewall (NAT isnt an issue)

No MAC security, only WEP. I turned WEP off and it still doesn't work. My Access Point is an AD-HOC and works perfectly for all wireless PC cards. I disabled my LAN and plugged a wireless USB in, and my computer connected perfectly. The Wii finds the access point, then I connect and nothing happens, throws up a 51030 error. I found a wireless connection at my neighbours, and just connected through that....stuff em, if you don't lock it then too bad Obviously not my final solution, as its as slow as a dog with no legs.
Anyhow might go and buy a new access point, mine was one of the first G's and it might not support everything that you can do these days. I updated the firmware on it, didn't seem to fix it. Also with no security, it still wouldn't work. Also tried different channels too, nothing fixed it.
That's the info page for it. I do fail to see how selecting channel 1 or 11 will give you greater speed. It really depends on what signals are floating around your area. I have seen a microwave drop my signal strength by 30% (that's using Ekahau Site survey to monitor signals, interference etc.)

Oh yeah Ad-hoc?? that's normally just a wireless card in a computer set as an ad-hoc wireless network. Is it a separate access point or one in a computer?
If it's one in a computer, have fun, specially if using windows, it's a finicky whore at the best of times.
If it's an access point, well hrm dunno, as most routers so called "Firewalls" are just a NAT that allows all outgoing and allows only incoming if it was requested.
Try manually setting the address, don't forget you will need to have the correct subnet mask and dns addresses (can be found on the router, usually the status page)
