LAN adapter or usb connector?

[THE ganondorflol]

I have not got wireless broadband and cannot decide- LAN adapter or usb connector. I need access to VC, so please help. Bear in mind I have Zone Alarm...

The LAN adapter over the USB connector anyday. The LAN adapter gives a much better bandwidth, a more reliable connection, skips your ZoneAlarm and it doesn't require your PC to be on all of the time.

Cheers, DCK, you have really helped mate. I can tell we will get along. Do you know where to get em though? Where did you get yours?

[DCK]

I have WLAN. The LAN adapter just seems far better to me. You should be able to get it online, and otherwise your local game shop could help you out.

I do not recommend the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector.

Thanks, Cube, you are being really helpful (and so is DCK) And to think I nearly got one... But where can I get a LAN adapter? Any ideas?

[The3rdChildren]

I do not recommend the Nintendo WiFi Connection.

 

Neither do I. It is shit.

[THE ganondorflol]

Connector or connection? Also, would you recommend the VC? Or should I not bother?

[Alan77]

You can get LAN adaptors from Play-Asia.com.

I use the Nintendo WiFi usb connector and i have no problems with it, i can have the pc, my 360 and the wii running at the same time.

[THE ganondorflol]

The majority vote against. Do you have zonealarm?

[Triplewing]

No i havent mate.

The USB dongle behaves funny. Datel have made a LAN adapter. TBH if you can afford get a decent wireless modem router. its worth it.

[Rummy]

I'd recommend a wireless router too, I dunno how reliable the LAN adapter is, and how much(if at all one) of an issue it is to set up to work running directly through a modem. I assume you just have a modem at the moment right, and not a router? If you have a router already, but it isn't wireless, then definitely the LAN adapter. However, if you're gonna have to try and run the wii directly through the modem, well, I dunno what sort of options there are already for setting it up, and whether you could have problems with certain ISPs.

I'm all for the LAN adapter, but I think the Wii will look a bit uglier with a massive cable coming out from it's rear.

[THE ganondorflol]

I'm getting the Datel one

LAn adabter is way better option than usb tbh usb is pretty steep price as i got a router of amazon for 36 quid (only 6 quid more than usb) and it works fine

I have been using the wifi stick since it was released for the DS. It's a horror on many levels in terms of installation. It should work easily and normally does, but when your setup alters a bit, it will fail to work and bah it's just crap.

 

Still using it though...

[Guest Jordan]

No offence, but Zone Alarm is fucking horrible...
