My Wii has this problem where it'll keep on not syncing up with the controllers (already synced). It'll basically after entering or leaving a channel (any random channel) the controllers won't sync up any more as if I had never synced them. Then when I try to re-sync it won't detect the remotes. This is happening more and more frequently. And I also noticed that the internet is going a lot slower than usual but on the computer and router it's fine. Please tell me if I should keep it longer (it's been happening since about January) or if I should send it back (I still have a warranty left).

Do you have  any other bluetooth devices in the area that might be interfereing?

You should definitely at least call Nintendo about it. They'll take care of you.

Try unplugging the Wii for a bit and then trying it. I've had a few syncing problems and this cured it; although it wasn't as bad as you're describing...

I had a simular problem. Just try turning everything off for a while, (completely off, not just on standby), and then retrying. Also, check your batteries. If that doesnt work, look up the FAQs on nintendo.com. Finally, if you cant find the answer give customer support a call.
