The Wii does not have an ethernet port built into the system. To get it connected, you'll either need to set up a wireless/wi-fi network (via wireless router connected to your modem), or get an adapter like this one: http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802615
Wow, not to bash the wii or anything, but that's retarded. I got to buy extra stuff to play a console online? Why don't they give one of those things WITH the console? Like PS3 did with the Internet cableArmeda
In our increasingly mobile world, wireless modem's are becoming more standard. Just buy a wireless router, you'll be glad you did. No more messy wires, works with Wii, DS, PS3 (most of em), PSP, laptops, etc.
Are there really that many people not up to date with wireless technology? Literally everything in my house that can connect to the internet is done so wirelessly, inlcuding the Wii, DS, Xbox 360, desktop computer and two laptops. The only thing connected to my modem is my router.
I thought it was pretty "retarded" that the 360 didn't have built in Wi-Fi, I had to go out and buy a $100 wireless adapter to do so, so don't even think about complaining about having to spend $15-30 on the Wii.
Am I too cheap to buy one. Whenever I want to get on XBL, I just run a cable from my room to the living room, then put it away when done. I've seen some wireless bridges selling for about $40, but if I can just run the cable, then why not. Other than that, only my PC is the one on a wire connection.Are there really that many people not up to date with wireless technology?

I easily have the access to wireless routers but I much prefer a wired connection. Everything that uses an internet connection in my house is using a wired connection.Are there really that many people not up to date with wireless technology?

If you're connecting online usin' a wired connection, you need to get the (non-official) Wii Lan Adaptor.
After that, you'll also need an Ethernet cable, which can be purchased at any electronics store.
Then connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the (non-official) Wii Lan Adaptor, and another end to your router. Finally, connect the (non-official) Wii Lan Adaptor to your Wii.
Hope that helps!:D
