    I'm not sure it'll work with that, but have you tried placing the broadband dongle in the port at the rear of the console?

    I read a little about that, and I'm 88% sure it won't work. You can get one of these though, which appears to make a router out of your BB-connected pc.

    I don't promise that works, but you could do a little research on the google to see if it does - it looks promising though. Best of luck!

    If the computer you have the 3 dongle attached to has wi-fi, you could set up internet sharing on that computer (over wireless), and then connect the Wii to that wireless network. I don't know what operating system you're running, but internet sharing is a feature of most modern ones (Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, Mac OS X, etc). If you don't have wi-fi on the computer, then you could pick up a cheap USB wi-fi dongle.

    Connecting the 3 dongle directly to the Wii won't work, as it doesn't have the drivers to run it.

    nintendo mainly design its nintendo devices like the wii to get online through wifi for normal broadband not mobile broadband because mobile broadband too slow for the nintendo devices to operate on it.

Then choose option permission so you can verifery you're connected. actually simplest to get online. All games store nintendo Wifi connector is RRP €44.99
