wii internet browsing

[mghotdog2]

:wiiconsole::frown5::wiimote:I've had this wii for a couple of years now & only had internet for a few days.My computer has a virus so I moved the router & modem out of the kitchen & the location of the router was the problem.When I got internet on my wii I was so excited because I hadn't been able to browse the web in months,but when I actually used the web browser my excitement turned into disappointment.It's slow(don't want to explain why it's not just my internet),it's difficult to type stuff without a USB keyboard(example:this post),& there are some webpages that it doesn't have the compacity to
show(example:standard youtube.youtube xl works though).I mean I'm glad I have a browser & I've been able to catch up on stuff I missed,but I think it could have been alot better.

p.s:I also can't play some of my favorite flash games.

HI. I need some help please. Went to Best Buy today and asked for a keyboard for my WII and they didn't know anything about that. Went to Game Stop and they said not many made and didn't know much either. Can I use keyboard for the internet, which I have accomplished and bought a memory card today. Just need info about keyboard. Do I get a wireless regular keyboard or what? Thanks so much

It will work with any standard USB keyboard. There are wireless USB keyboard where you plug a little receiver into the USB slot and the keyboard transmits to it. That should work as well, however some of those have limited range. Do not get a bluetooth wireless keyboard though.

That message isn't from Microsoft. It's a fake from other people trying to trick you into buying something.
