ok, so i dont have wireless... does that mean i cant play online? cause i couldent find the ( hole ) to plug in my online cable thing.. sorry im no cyborg... is their anyway to get online without wirless??? thanks again :)

Yep, you have a few options. First, I would reccommend you buy a router and set it up as a network in your house. I don't know the situation, but this would be the easiest and most efficient way of getting anything in your house online. Next, you could buy the Nintendo wi fi usb adapter (30$ i think). You have to install software on your cpu, then pick up the signal with your wii. It has to be at most 30-40 feet from cpu to wii, and I think people have had some trouble with this route in the past, so it is kinda iffy. Lastly, you could buy the Nintendo LAN adapter (also 30 I think). I am not sure, but i think this plugs into your modem and is a cord traveling to your wiis usb ports in the back, wired internet. Hope I helped! Post again so I can give more input and such. Good luck.Tyberg29

No problem, well, I think you can buy it at any EB games or Gamestop that has it, since i have seen it on their website, and a few other major electronics chains may have it (best buy, circuit city). Here try thisadress first though, and see if a store near you has it in stock, or call them. Sorry, I don't know how to link, lol =-(

Yeah, that adapter will work, you do not need the nintendo one. It is just like buying different brands of cereal for instance. Make sure to check up on all the details though, see if the wire included is long enough, and so on.

where are you people buying your wiis? We in british columbia are all sold out!

Im guessing nobody is using this Wii LAN adapter?RamboSymbiot

No, not really since it's better to have wireless with the Wii. No need for the cords going around.

I'd try to talk your parents into a router so you can get all of your connections in the house online either wired or wireless.
