This channel functions as the Web Browser for the [[Wii]]. This channel was constructed by a collaboration between Opera Software and Nintendo, using Opera 9 as its core. Ideally, the functionality of this channel, inside Dolphin, would include: The retrieval of pages directly from a web site's HTTP or HTTPS server. As of {{revision|3.0-376}}, functionality is nonexistent due to the user being unable to enter internet connection settings, required by the channel.

{{Problems|type=channel|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
When attempting to start the Internet Channel, a dialog box appears: "An Internet connection is required. Configure Internet settings now?". Selecting "Quit" removes the dialog box, but does not exit the channel. Selecting "Enter Settings" redirects the user to an unloadable page, inside the "Wii Settings". Even though the Wii Menu music is playing in the background, and the FPS, VPS and Speed are unaffected, the emulator has gotten hung up and requires a restart of the Wii System Menu to clear.
=== <s>Keyboard Is Not Completely Displayed</s> ===
The keyboard that appears when the user wants to enter an address is not completely displayed if "Fast Depth Calculation" is enabled. To display the keyboard correctly, disable the option. Fixed since at least {{revision|5.0-10516}}.


This has been fixed in ''wii-network'' branch, which is now available since {{revision|3.5-2143}}.
