These 2 error codes are router errors and the simplest method for correcting the problem is to change the channel on the Wii‘s router. First switch channels from channel 1 to channel 11. If the problem persists then reset the console’s entire security settings from the default WEP settings to WPA, or in some cases it’d be best to just disable the security settings to see if it fixes the problem.
Error Code 220602
The final error code mention in this article is a router error as well. If this error comes up move both your Wii and router closer together and see if the problem is corrected.
