That Remote Connection screen is only for when you take your remote to a friends house to play on a different console. Never use the red sync button on a Wii other than your own. When I've taken my Wiimotes to other places that's how they connect and then when I'm back home, they still operate my console just fine.

Ah yes, good one.

I am not certain on this (I would have to read the instructions ) but I don't think the Wii remote can be "hard synced" to more than 1 console at once. So Sync your own remote with your own console using the red button, then you can operate it with any of them. (And use the remote connection screen if you want to swap player position)

And if you take a remote to another house, the Wii needs to be turned on by one of it's remotes, then you can connect yours using the remote connection screen.

RIGHT, you can't sync to more than ONE console at a time.  The new SYNC replaces the OLD sync.  That's why you only do it on YOUR wii and then never again.



Consoles owned: NES, N64, PS1, GC, PS2, Wii.
