    Hey Lads I am trying to connect the Missus' Wii to the home network. Looks like I need a USB to Wii LAN Adapter. Now I can see the Nintendo ones sell for about 25 quid and there are some 3rd party ones for about 15. However I have found the following which are much cheaper:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000S6DFZ8/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p23_t2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=03Q3CMJPS9MP05PK1PHJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467198433&pf_rd_i=468294

    Will this work for me? None of the reviews mention anything about Wii.


    This would not be an issue if I coulld connect the Wii to the wireless but no matter what I try it does not work. I can find the neighbours wi fi but not mine...what it this about! It works fine with other wireless devices like my Iphone or Laptop, anyone have any ideas. I am using Eircom 7mb Broadband with a motorola/netopia router. Any help on either questions would be graetly appreciated!!

    :D

    As far as I know, if Broadcast on the router is disabled, the Wii won't be able to find it. Your SSID should be broadcast.
