You'll need it if the modem is also not wireless.

You can either get another modem that is wireless as well, buy a seperate wireless router, or buy the LAN adapter where you will need the ethernet cable.

Then you will not need an ethernet cable to connect your Wii to the internet.

Also, exactly what problems are you having with it?

Have you tried looking into your modem settings and seeing if wireless is on?

If it is close than you will have no problem with the lan adapter.

Try typing in your IP address.

Not sure what it is but try 192.168.1.1. Type that number into your web address. If nothing happens then try finding out your Ip address by going to whatsmyip.org and type that number into your web address.

Please don't double post.

As for the IP address, it obviously isn't working. I'll try some research on this modem and see how to do it.

Ok. Try using that number, your IP address, into your web address and see where it takes you. If it doesn't work then try going to either one of these sites.
