This guide provides different means of regaining WiiConnect24 functionality on your console. Although not at all nessecary, it is a "nice to have" feature that was originally used for online connectivity in certain applications on the console. These apps include the Forecast/News Channel, Nintendo Channel, Check Mii Out Channel, some Japan-exclusive channels, and more. Please bear in mind, the functionality you gain depends entirely on what service(s) you use.
[WiiConnect24](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/WiiConnect24) was a service that allowed users with Internet connected Wiis to view the weather and news, send messages to friends, participate in Mii contests, and more. WiiConnect24 was discontinued on June 27th, 2013.
### Service Overview
## RiiConnect24 + WiiLink
[RiiConnect24](https://rc24.xyz) is a revival service for WiiConnect24 that started in 2015, which allows you to regain its functionality on your console.
As of late 2023, the service is now owned by WiiLink, a project that started in 2020 that was previously aiming at the Japanese-exclusive channels.
#### Note about service compatibility:
Both services listed below are compatible with one another and can be loaded on the same console. With this said, it should be noted that when installing one channel over the other (WiiLink's Forecast Channel over RiiConnect24's Forecast Channel for example), the channel you are installing will overwrite the old one.

Service support status can be found [here](https://www.wiilink24.com/status).<br>
Their guide can be found [here](https://www.wiilink24.com/guide).
#### RiiConnect24
The longest lasting WC24 revival service, currently only with support for the worldwide WC24 channels as well as mail services.
Service support status can be found [here](https://rc24.xyz/stats/).<br>
RiiConnect24 currently does not have a self-hosted guide, however you can find ours [here](riiconnect24).
There is a patcher that ships both of these services together as one - meaning you get all of the international and Japanese-only channels in one package.
The guide on how to install these services can be found [on WiiLink's website.](https://www.wiilink24.com/guide/)
