Worth buying a Wi-Fi USB thingy If i dont have any WIFI games?

[neveragain]

to use the wifi dongle, u just hook it up to the usb port on your comp.

But their unusable. that guy said so!
also do you have to buy them from nintendo? or can i just get them from my EB(big gaming chain sells stuff)

i haven't seen them at eb games or gamestop, but if they're there, they're there. i've seen it at target, best buy, and circuit city though.

a Wii lan cable. whats that?

 

[TortillaChip520]

like a telephone cord that goes from your router to your wii through a usb adapter thingy

 

[neveragain]

please someone explain what I should buy!

 

[TortillaChip520]

well a LAN adapter is the best for gaming, since lag is at a minimum, but it's still a physical cord that runs to your wii.

i dunno about the dongle anymore....:scared:

the wireless router is expensive, and since you know little-to-nothing about computers, difficult to set up.

if you use a cable internet, then you should go with the lan adapter. with dsl, you should go with the router. simple as that.

@nic7 ive tried all that but it doesnt work. i put in the error code and it say that it can connect to the internet, but cant connect to nintendo servers.

read the last paragraph in that where nintendo says "Important: The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector has been discontinued until further notice. As an alternative for on-line access, Wii and DS owners can use a standard wireless router, or for Wii owners, you can use the Wii LAN Adapter. Please click here to access the alternative on-line set-up options information on our web-site."

EDIT: sorry i thought you were talking to me.

its not really that much like a phone cord. its an ethernet to USB cable. just a notice, but if you use dsl, you cant use the lan adapter. a router is fine too, but it only run up to 54mbps where as a lan adapter runs at 100mbps.

yeah but the cord itself is similar

sure as long as you dont notice how much thicker it is.:lol:. well dont buy it if you dont have a cable internet because you need two ethernet ports on your modem and dsl only has one.
