Just wondering if anybody here has used it for the Wii online and how it works or how you like it. I just bought a Wii and don't have a wireless router but since I live in dorms, I don't want anybody to mootch off of my connection, so I am trying to check different options.

You can by an Ethernet adapter but I don't know if they sell them yet, But Nintendo said they will sell them soon.

I think it's already out but I heard some bad things on it. I am just trying to find an easy solution.

[QUOTE="Bass7"]Get a router, set up a WEP Key, make the name not so obvious, then make sure to change it's channel to 1 or 11 :wink:. -ZeRoHouR-
I have no idea what a WEP key is. If you could, could you give me a little info on that????
It's almost like a PIN number. If someone tries accesing internet through your router, they'll have to know the WEP key/pass. Works very well, no one in my neighborhood hogs my bandwith up :P.
Setting up a WEP key is kinda like locking your wireless network so that you can only use it if you input the key/password. After you do it once its saved so it's no hassle and nobody who you don't give your key to can't get into your wireless network. If you get a wireless router you have nothing to worry about. Just look up how to set it up with a key. Then you can input that key on your wii when you set it up and you'll have no problem.
