5 out of 5 stars Works Perfectly! Simple To Use!   December 5, 2008
My wireless router sits within a few feet of my Wii. I saw no reason why I should be using a wireless connection, when a wired connection is typically faster and more reliable (and is one less possible source of device conflicts).

This worked perfectly. I purchased this on one of the Black Friday sales, so it was much cheaper than the normal price. I figured I had nothing to lose. But, now that I am using it, I think it's a good value at the current price too.

Simple to use:

1. Plug it into one of the USB ports in the back of the Wii.
2. Connect the device to your router using a Cat-5 line (not included).
3. Go into the Wii Internet menu and configure the internet connection for "wired".

If it's working, you'll see a blue LED on the device blink as it is accessing the internet. Hardest part was opening the package!

Purchased product and does not work at all. It might be because my wii is brand new and nintendo caught on to this cheaper product. Who knows?


5 out of 5 stars Does the trick   November 9, 2008
I was looking for a product that would replace the spotty wireless connection that I had (older router clear across the house...). I also wanted the additional speed that a dedicated, hard-wired connection would provide to the gaming console. This did the trick - no problems so far, and very simple to setup in the configuration section of the Wii menu. Definitely would recommend this to anyone having problems with a wireless connection.

Got this item for wi-fi connect games and it works fine. I play smash bros online and connect to nintendo's server to see new games. Its easy 2 install, just plug it in and u're ready to go... the wii system does the rest. great price, good item to buy if u want to go online with your wii

All you have to do it plug it in and there you go. Set up the Wii and all set!
