Yes, but if you're already spending money just spend a little bit more and get the better solution

thats the point of getting one.. Your Wii will love you for it.. And for about the price of a game, you can't go wrong.

Wired is better than wireless any day IMO, and to the TC, I'm not sure that it'll work. I would go with the one from Gamestop to be sure.

EDIT: You should also check out the official one from Nintendo Shop.

the Wii is specifically desinged with wireless in mind.. Why did Nintendo even bother including built in Wireless only??  I also can't imagine pluging a RJ-45 cable into my DSlite to play online.. That would be a pain! :?

I got the Linkseys compact 2.0 usb network adapter and it doesnt work......i called Nintendo and the guy said the only one that works for a wired connection is the Nintendo LAN Adapter. Just ordered it online.
