Once loaded, select “start”, then select “start shopping” from the bottom of the screen.
Locate and download the Netflix application in the “Wii Channels” menu. Search for the Netflix application by scrolling through the apps, then select the icon and press “A” to see details.

Access your Netflix account. Open the Netflix app from the main Wii menu and sign in. Select “start” to enter the channel. Select “Member Sign In” Enter the email associated with your Netflix account, your Netflix password, then select “continue.”
Log out of Netflix when needed. You may want to log out of Netflix at some point, but unfortunately, there is no logout button on the Wii interface. For instructions on how to log out, see this guide. Logging out of Netflix may be useful in order to monitor kids' viewing habits or if you want to erase your Netflix account when selling or trading in your Wii. Netflix also limits the number of devices that a user can have streaming from one account at a given time, so you may want to log out of your Wii to view Netflix on another device. If you would like to know how to switch Netflix user accounts or profiles on your Wii, view this guide.
