what you can do is to just check the nintendo website on your not-playing-wii time and if there's an update, just turn on your wii and uploadnow, if your friend wants to send u a wii mail or stuff like that, be in contact with that person via other communications device and play together while online at the same timei dun recommend leaving the wiiconnect24 on because it overheats your wii first of allall the others are obvious.
Do you leave your wii on 24/7?

First, the light modes are (Red) Off/Standby-no WiiConnect, (Orange) Off/Standby-WiiConnect, (Green) On, there is no full off optionWhen the Wii is on (green light), that is when it used most of it's power, and it's not a good idea to leave it on like that 24/7, only when you are using itWhen the Wii is in standby with WiiConnect (Orange light), it dosen't take too much power, and also, you can get messages in this mode, being that it stays connected to the internetWhen the Wii is in standby mode without WiiConnect (Red light), everything, including the wireless card is not running, this saves the most power, but you do not get messages in this mode, which is a really great feature of the Wii, but I prefer that if you are about to unplug the Wii, put it on standby mode without WiiConnect (Red light), then unplug it

Nah, I don't even have a Wii (yet) but if I did I wouldn't leave it on..too many risks.
I hope I get a minus (-) warning level because I really need discounts on DP Conversions/Loans...

Why would you? When me and my brother play his Wii, we turn it off when we're done. When we play gamecube games, we take out everything for protection, even the discs!well do you? I dont i only leave it on in the day and shut the wii down in the night, it would cost too much too leave it on 24/7

No, not at all. The only thing I leave on is Wii-Connect 24.

I unplug it every time I finish using it. The only time I'd leave it on (standby or whatever) for a long time is if I forget or fall asleep. But pretty much, it's always off fully.

I don't see the point. I think wiiconnect24 works even when it's off, and if it doesn't it's a simple matter of downloading updates. It's not that hard to cut off power. I just press off button on the plug bar.

A waste of electricity especially when the summer is coming up and there will be electricity shortages
