SourceWii will be able to connect to the Internet through its built-in 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and through a USB-to-Ethernet adaptor, with both methods allowing players to access the established Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Nintendo has stated that Wii will implement standard Wi-Fi protocols. Just as for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo originally stated that they will not charge fees for playing via the service and the Friend Code system will control how players connect to one another.
Yes, you can connect Wii either way. If you want to connect it using a wire, you must have a Wii LAN adaptor, which you plug one end into one of the two USB 2.0 ports on back of Wii and the other ethernet part into your router.xpirate77 said:ok..so im sorry, im a little misinformed, so...if i have cable internet, can i connect the Wii to it with a hardline?..or just wirelessly?..
You need nothing but a wireless router and internet connection to get Wii online this way.xpirate77 said:and if i do it wirelessly, what additional hardware do i need to buy..
You haven't asked any stupid questions. Don't worry what other people think. You're new and have questions, good questions. Hope to hear more from you.xpirate77 said:thanks for hangin in there for me on this one
i know these are prolly stupid questions..
Glad I could help.xpirate77 said:wow nate thank you so much..
that did clear up like 99% of everything
the last little bit, is the question..
this thing is going to function like idk, xbox live, where you're actually online and can play anyone you want..right?...its not gunna be anything dumb like, you can only play people around you..right?
Yeah, hold on just a second. There's a list on Nintendo's website that tells what wireless routers are compatible with the DS (and thus the Wii). Let me find a link to that so you can check to see if it's one that's recommended.xpirate77 said:alright sweet, thank you
so just to clarify...i just need to get something along these lines

right?..
lol and i promise this is the last question
Yeah, as far as I know, it should work without the need to configure the router using the computer.xpirate77 said:sweet, alright well also..if im buying this router simply for the Wii, does the router have to be configured on a computer?..
or can i just hook up the router, turn it on, turn on the Wii....and it works?
seems to simple
