Posted April 24, 2007 It's about time for this to get released for those without WiFi, what with just over a month (less by the time it's out) until the first online Wii game is out. As with all the Europe Nintendo accessories, it has a rather nice box: Nifty little design, too. Plug it into the USB port, then via ethernet cable to a wired network.

Posted April 24, 2007 Good stuff. I have a 30 meter ethernet cable running from down stairs to my room, so this is ideal. I don't really wanna go wireless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 24, 2007 I don't get this. Surely connecting to my wireless network will offer exactly the same functions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 24, 2007 Yes it will. This is for people who don't have a wireless network. Like me! My house is a funny shape, so Wi-Fi can't work between my PC and living room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 25, 2007 I don't get this. Surely connecting to my wireless network will offer exactly the same functions? Wired is more stable and a lot faster Will be a god send for streaming video to the Wii, can be pretty crappy over WiFi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 25, 2007 Tell me, if I were to install a wired network card into my computer (since I have a router which connects to my computer, but refuses to connect to my Wii), would it still work or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 25, 2007 Can you not use something like this? No, since Wii lacks a big library of drivers, it only supports adapters with the same chipset their adapter uses. Compatible equipment list: -> http://www.wiili.org/index.php?title=Wii_ethernet_adapter&printable=yes And beware of the Kinamax NT-USB20, they used to be compatible, but since January or so, the new models shipped are incompatible (different chipset) although there was no change in the model name.

Posted April 25, 2007 Awesome, I've been waiting for this for a while, though I'm gonna be swapping the ethernet cable from my 360-Wii now:heh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 5, 2007 Good stuff. I have a 30 meter ethernet cable running from down stairs to my room, so this is ideal. I don't really wanna go wireless. Mine's 20m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2007 This is dumb, why not supply an ethernet cable with it for god's sake? I mean i might get it, jsut use the 360's ethernet cable, but still, they should supply one with it, and give people the option tog et a longer one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2007 Mine's 20m I've got a big 20m beast as well, but we drilled a hole in the floor next to the PC and router and it goes under the house to the 360. I just connect the Wii wirelessly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
