Purchase a Wi-Fi router or a Wi-fi USB Device. Both are $60 (there are more expensive routers, but not mine)

Wi-fi USB Adapter does not work on Linux (which I have) neither on MAC. You need Windows XP. My wifi thing is on sale, I used it one time only in a small laptop with Windows, but I preferred to purchase the router. So if you want the thing, I can send it to you for 40 bucks.

I hope to not break the rules with this, if I do, erase the selling part please. Just I don't know what to do with the USB thing.

hey cool. tell me more about how that thing works. my house has 2 computers, 1 in my room and they're connected by WIRE. I want my we to be wireless (obviously) and i wanna use the nintendo connection instead of a regular wireless home network setup because then we would have to re-do many things, and i dont wanna do that. so tell me more about this product and ill consider your offer.

by the way, im kevin. age 17. ready to drop $400 bucks on wii stuff soon as spring break is here. ie 2 weeks from last weekend.

what ur name, age, place of residence etc.

Since you have multiple computers you might as well get a wireless router and connect all your devices to the internet wirelessly. Get this and your ready to go:

From what I understand, Toys R Us (nationwide) sells them every other Sunday, to coincide with their flyers. So look for April 1 to be the next time. They are usually in a package deal. I got one last Sunday with Sonic and a gift card.

Usually if you call them they'll let you know. If they don't, then call a different store.

Speak to someone in Electronics. I called TRU on Saturday and the operator told me no Wiis. Called back and asked for Electronics and they said Wiis tomorrow.

Make sure you get there EARLY. I got there at 7:15AM, was 4th in line and had my Wii + Sonic + gift card. By the time they opened the store, there were 40-50 in line. Used the GC to get Wii play and am loving the Wii so far!

OMG MY WALMART JUST GOT 54 Wii's in like 10 minutes ago! call ur walmart now! im in london ontario canada

tnine · 03-21-2007, 09:32 PM

Just called the Wal-Mart in Milton, no dice... Dang man, I had my hopes up

... Oh well, I guess eBay is the only way then...

cv4stm · 03-21-2007, 10:00 PM

I called my walmart (Hamilton, Ontario) at like 3:30 and they had none.

cv4stm · 03-21-2007, 10:02 PM

Thanks for getting my hopes up

2stupid4u · 03-22-2007, 03:38 AM

my birth day is in 26 days....i hope my perents can get a wii by then

tnine · 03-22-2007, 12:34 PM

I understand that the Wii is really popular, and in high demand, but Nintendo really needs to make Wii shipments faster, and include more Wii's. When there's only 15-20 per store every 2-3 weeks, how do they expect for everyone to have one? Hopefully they can speed up they're machines and have a stable amount of Wii's every week to every store that might carry them... How does Nintendo plan to win the "Console War" like this?

Um...Wii's are sold out...PS3's are sitting on Shelves at everystore i've been searching for a Wii....so I think Nintendo is winning cause no one is dropping $500+ on a PS3

thearkitecht · 03-22-2007, 05:08 PM

One of my coworkers has been looking for the past two months and still waiting for a Wii. My local Target has 2 PS3s that are at least a couple weeks old, but the Wiis are selling out the same day they hit the shelves.
