is there anyway to make my wired router into a wireless one for my wii? is there like a little adapter i can plug into my router that will broadcast the signal?
It creates a small wireless network that only supports the Nintendo hardware. It works for DS as well.

It plugs into a USB port on your computer, and comes with a little cord that can extend it a short distance.

I have one, and would recommend you get one aswell. My computer is downstairs, and my wii is upstairs, and i still get a strong signal. It is also really easy to set up.
The Wifi Connector is retailed at around 39.99 Canada, probably around 35ish dollars in America. As opposed to a router which is somewhere in the hundreds for a decent one.

Just get a new router they really aren't that expensive. Or if you really don't want a new router a wireless access point will expand on your preexisting network. With 802.11n coming out now 802.11g routers have really come down in price some even go for free after rebate, like my own D-link.
The only problem is that you'll want to make sure that whatever router you get is sufficient for Nintendo's wifi connect the list of routers is on Nintendo's website. I'm currently using a D-link Extreme G wifi router with no issues, but I prefer linksys or netgear. Check out Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! or search Froogle for better prices and selection.
honestly you should get a router. my linksys g router only cost 40$ thats 5 more than the usb dongle but you don't need to worry about bogging your computer down with excessive software or about your computer crashing and losing your wifi. it should not matter what router you buy as long as it is standard 802.11b/g compliant.
You mean Wired < Wireless, the arrow always points to the lesser value. :-) Anyway, the Nintendo USB adaptor works like shit, and I suggest this one as I've had no problems with this and it's quite easy to install.
Well your the first user ot say the Wii USB is bad. Have you had one in the past?
