##### Section III - Connecting

It's recommended to set your DNS to enhance the use of RiiConnect24 and Wiimmfi services.
|
|
|

|
|
8. Type in `164.132.44.106` as the primary DNS.
|
|
9. Type in `1.1.1.1` as the secondary DNS (if it gives you problems, try `8.8.8.8`).
|
|
10. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`.
|
|
11. Select `OK` to perform a connection test.
|
|
12. If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
|

|
|
14. Back on the WiiConnect24 menu, go to `Standby Connection` and make sure it is enabled.
|
|
15. At `Slot Illumination`, we recommend you set the disc light to `Dim` or `Bright`, but this is optional.
|
|
16. Finally, go to the `Internet` section, then `User Agreements` or `Agreement/Contact`, then `Yes`. Please read through this.
|

[Continue to Wiimmfi](wiimmfi)<br>

Wiimmfi lets you play games online after the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This is optional to install.

If you get error 107245, then you probably have failed to patch your IOS correctly.
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
If you get error 107304, then perhaps your ISP blocks the use of custom DNS. A workaround for this can be running your own DNS server! See the [RiiConnect24 DNS Server on GitHub](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/DNS-Server), then use your PC's IP address in place of our DNS in Step 8.
