Help me get online, I'm in a tough situation!!!

jbeme05 · 06-17-2009, 05:50 PM

I'm from the US but I'm now living in Brazil. One of the bad things from here is the horrible and expensive internet. My only option is a 3G modem from a cell phone provider, and as we all know, they don't play nicely with Wi-Fi routers, including my own. I was wondering if there were any ways to send internet from my Mac-Mini (2nd Gen equipped with AirPort Card) to my Nintendo Wii, using either a wireless or wired connection (I have a LAN to USB adapter for my Wii). I have been able to create a network between the two, but that doesn't work for sending internet, I guess just for sharing files or something of the sort. PLEASE HELP ME!!! IM NOT A COMPUTER WIZ AND I NEED MY DAILY FIX OF ONLINE GAMING!!!

If I understand correctly you are using a mobile internet dongle thing as your broadband connection? If that assumption is correct then you might consider something like

this

. As I understand it you can then wire more than one device into the router so you should be able to get your Wii online.

yes, you are correct, I am using that kind of dongle, but unfortunately that router seems only to work with Huawei modems, when I'm forced to work with am Aiko modem. Please continue helping me find a solution, I have been working on this a long time, and not being able to connect my Wii online is KILLING me, thank you very much, but please continue to help............!!
