Yes, but that will only turn off standby mode, not the full WC24 in itself. I know, because I once did WC24 without Standby, and still got that blue LED indicating there's a mail.

Yah exactly what RAMChYLD said. Are you sure it is RED the power button.
Cos my wii was set to this settings since i guessed few months ago.
I dont feel any heat to it in standby mode.
And also i dont get any updates from nintendo if my wii is on standby mode as well.
Only will get the updates when i Power On my wii ( thats when WC24 is on automactically )

As for last time before i had GH5 , normally i will just turn on WC24 from the settings if i need to use this function.

After i started playing GH5 or etc, thats when i use this function by turning the WC24 standby mode OFF.
Cos for convienient sake , i dont need to go to settings on and off each time that is becos GH5 online uses WC24.

Hmmm.. i wonder urs is different?

If your wireless router and your wii is too far away from each other between walls and etc.... the signal for Wii to receive is lesser.

You should be able to fix this simply by changing your Wii from whatever country your in to a different one.

1. Access the Wii System Settings (how to).
2. Click on the blue arrow twice to reach the Wii System Settings 3 menu options.
3. Select "Country" and press the A Button.
4. Use the scroll bar to find the country you want and select it.
5. Move the cursor over "Confirm" and press the A Button.

You should be able to fix that problem just by saying you live somewhere else.

EDIT: ok scratch that i had to change the router channel from 11 to 1 to get it to work, cheers anway... even though nobody viewed this problem

Another solution
here was a problem registering the console to the WiiConnect24 service. What to do:

    * If you have multiple routers and/or modems, try to connect to no more than one router and one modem try connecting from another location.

    * If you are using only one modem or router, something on your network or from your Internet Service Provider is blocking the connection. You may need to contact your service provider for more information.

    * If you do not have the ability to connect from another location (such as a friend's house), please call 1-800-255-3700 so that we may discuss available options.

Wii Error Code 51300 - 51399

This error is caused by the Wii being unable to connect to the access point.

To solve this error :

Try changing the channel of your wireless router to either channel 1 or channel 11 which can increase download speeds.

If your router is using WEP encryption

    * Ensure your key is hexadecimal, consisting of 0-9 or A-F only, no other special characters or letters.
    * 64 bit encryption requires your WEP key to be 10 characters consisting of numbers or leters A through F.
    * 128 bit encryption requires your WEP key to be 26 characters consisting of numbers or leters A through F.

If your router is using WPA encryption, the Wii is compatible with :

    * WPA - PSK(TKIP)
    * WPA - PSK(AES)
    * WPA2 - PSK(AES)

If your router is using MAC filtering, ensure the Wii MAC address has been added to the list of approved MAC address on your wireless router settings
