Nintendo Wii WiFi Problems (support.nintendo.com sucks)

Hi,
I recently bought a Wii from a Best Buy near my house. When I got said Wii home, I was delighted that the WiFi setup was quick and painless. Very quickly, I was connected to my Wireless service at home, and was able to access the Internet, download update, etc etc. The next day, my Wii refused to turn on at first, but when I finally got it on, I was no longer able to access the WiFi in my place. I reset the connection several times, reconnected to the network, etc. What happens is that I can see my own home network (WEP), and are able to input data accordingly. However, when I go to run the connectivity test, I either get error code 51330 or 52330, dealing with the network security protocols. I emailed support.nintendo.com, tried everything they suggested from looking at my router, etc, but still to no avail can I connect to the Internet from my Wii!!
Has anybody else had these problems, or know another good place to find information on what could have gone wrong. I am afraid that something broke the firmware in my Wii (an update, the cat pushing the power button, etc), and that I will have to get a new one. Luckily, none of the error codes I have received were said by Nintendo to be catastrophic.
Please advise.

Depends on what else is using the spectrum. 1,6 and 11 are the non-overlapping channels and you can use something like netstumbler to see where the local access points are.
I got this to work after changing from WEP to WPA security, as well, doing a restore to factory settings. Something was just going on funny with the WEP. It works now!
I bought a new router, and this worked fine... I think a flash upgrade of my 2009 TPLink router would also have cured the problem... Nintendo help line did not mention this, but I think the wiiU is using a current revision of the wifi standards, so if you are struggling, first step I would advise is a flash upgrade of your wifi router...
