On my friend list I have 2 friends who constantly have a red dot by their name. It says they are always offline. I was talking to my friend on the phone and he said he was online, and it still said he was offline. Later it somehow worked after like an hour. But, it is the same for my other friend who has the red dot. They said the red dot is by my name too.
Note: My connection is pretty decent and I rarely experience lag unless it is someone else.
Everyone else on my friend list has that green dot by their name.

The dots signify their internet connection, ranging from Blue to Red (Blue being the best, Red the worst). The colors are Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.
If it says he's offline, even though he's on, it's possible your Wii isn't picking up his "ping", since he may be having trouble transmitting his data through his router. Tell him to mess with his router settings. He could be behind a firewall.

Oh... THAT'S what that dot is...Mine's always orange, and my friend lives in the same town as I do. stare When we Brawl, though, the matches are usually fairly lag-free. Too bad I can almost never find anyone else to Brawl against.

I will be sure to inform my friend since that question has been puzzling us. Lately we have been on blue which is good.

The rule of thumb, is the closer you live to someone, the less laggier it will be too. It also depends on your ISP, and router.
Good luck. smile
