Yes the router should allow many appliances to use the internet at once. Remember that your parents may have put a password on the connection so you might require that when connecting your wii up to the router.

Yeah routers are fairly simple to set up, with the instructions that come with the router. The wired connection goes into the router and you require cables to go from the router to whatever you want to be connected with wires. Everything to be be connected wirelessly should be able to detect the signal from the router and should then work. Of course there's a bit more to it but it generally works like this.

this may help
to everyone mainly in the US i used to work for comcast setting up networks and all that. first of all to do wireless on the wii you need to make sure that the router is set up to your internet connection. if it is a new router, then by far the fastest most easy way to set up your router to the internet is:
verify you can surf the web using only the modem connected to you computer via ethernet or usb, then unplug your modems power and ethernet cables, take ethernet from modem to router then router to computer plug both modem and routers power in at the same time. let the modem and the router bloc up aka all green lights or whatever lights it has verify with manuals . after you let the modem send a VALID IP ADDRESS TO THE ROUTER, pull up your browser and type in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 this will pull up the settings for the router and is what allows you to set up a secured network (need a password to connect to it) once you do the settings and SAVE THE SETTINGS then you can get your wii connected to the network.

Yeah it'll work on both, it's the main purpose of a router
Tbh, it doesn't slow the connection down noticeably. The router should work fine with no problems. But if you want a wired connection then yeah go with the LAN adapter, it'll still probs go through your router anyway except it won't be wireless.
