Hi all

Treated myself to a Wii yesterday. It is now miles from my router, so I cant connect a LAN cable, so I am trying to find the best way to connect over WLAN. Does anyone connect like this, and what do you use ? I have found some USB wireless things on Ebay, but I wanted to know what people use and is reliable before I part with my cash !!

Hi Druddle,

I think that you might be missing the obvious here, the Wii has a wireless network card built in.

All you need to do is to go into the network settings menu on the Wii, search for the wireless network and apply any security settings that you might have on your router.

Hope this helps

Yep, no probs with mine to the wireless router. It supports BBC iPlayer too so great for catching up on any TV you've missed (need to download the Internet Channel first, think it cost £2.50 or something).
