Can I wirelessly connect my Nintendo Wii to a TV in another room?

Question

I have it wired in to one TV but want to be able to use it on others in the house without moving the console around. I assume I could use some sort of wireless transmitter, but haven't seen any products specific to the Wii for this purpose and not sure where to start...?

Answer 1

Hm, interesting question...

You will need something like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Emprex-AWV-698B-5-8Ghz-Wireless-sender/dp/B001JJDC88/ref=pd_cp_ce_0 (One of the reviewers said it worked with game consoles).



Or this:

http://www.goldenshop.com.hk/AI-trad/Misc_htm/m_24gwtran.htm (Says it works with consoles but the shop is in Hong Kong and the ordering process seems a little wayward to be honest.)



A few words of caution before you purchase though: Those transmitters frequently get disrupted by other wireless signals, so if you are using a wireless router, cordless phone, or even a microwave, you can expect static or even complete loss of picture.



There's also the Wii itself to think about. If you have wireless Internet, the transmitter could interfere with the signal meaning you probably won't be able to get online. Also, you would need the sensor bar to be above/below the TV you play on. This might require you to purchase an extension cable for it (might not be practical), or to get a replacement wireless sensor bar (which will also probably conflict with the transmitter).



Also, the Wii Remotes are connected to the Wii via Bluetooth meaning you still need them to be close to the console (within 10 metres), and that you have yet another signal that will probably conflict with the transmitter.



Given the logistics of it all and the high chance it won't work properly, it might be better to just move the console around, but good luck if you decide to go with a transmitter.

Answer 2

Very simple. Heres a step-by-step guide: 1) Connect the Nintendo Wii Adapter (the other end of the plug cable) in to the Wii. 2) Plug the Wii into the plug socket. 3) Connect the AV cable (the SCART socket or the red, yellow and white cable) into the TV and the Wii 4) Connect the Sensor Bar to the Wii and put on top or below the TV (You'll have to specify when changing the settings on start-up).

Answer 3

Short answer no, the Wii console requires the receiver to be in front of the TV, if its in a different room it wont pick up anything. There are things out on the market to transmit stuff from one TV to another but not for the receiver, its quite technical just to get that to work and i don't think they would ever be bringing out something to do this as it would be too complicated for the standard gamer.

Answer 4

Personally I would just buy another set of cables and another sensor bar for your Wii and leave them set up in the other television, then all you would have to do is move the Wii and plug it in.

Answer 5

Yes.

I bought a transmitter in tesco's that will send any av signal.

Not sure if this will lag the games though.
