Posted December 15, 2007 I have never had any problem with my wireless network. The DS, Wii, Laptop, N95 all work excedingly well. Back to question, the Wii is designed for a wireless network, although Nintendo and, i think, third parties have released Wired adaptor - as commented above.

Posted December 15, 2007 Yeah, I use the wired adaptor ( official one ) and it works perfectly, highly recommend it if you are using a wired connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2007 I recommend the Nintendo USB wireless thing. I had to buy one for my DS since my router isn't good enough. The Wii still worked but you might as well get the nintendo usb thing instead of wired or a router. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2007 Wired Connections are faster unless your right near the router. If your wireless is really spotty then buy a better router. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2007 I recommend the Nintendo USB wireless thing. But it has a 5% success rate...and you need your computer on to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2007 Something people who know nothing say. Yes.. indeed. In general, wired is still a lot more stable all around than wireless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2007 No seriously, wireless is utter shit. There is no substitute for a 100mbps ethernet cable, well there is. A 1gbit one. Either way, wireless is the worst form of networking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2007 My wireless is fabulous and never messes up. However AOL are the embodiment of all things evil. I will go elsewhere when I can be bothered. But I guess now I've complained so much to them about my internet speed, it's great. Anyway, I always feel there is no point paying for a whoop whoop bang ba ding speed when your just using a poxy wireless connection getting sweet FA. Wire me up Scotty. It's the future!

Posted December 17, 2007 I never had any problems with wireless and it's waaay more pratical than wired. Of course that wired has lots of advantages, but if you have a good router, you should have no problem.

Posted December 17, 2007 Wireless today works good enough for gaming. Ethernet is probably better, but the Wii will manage on wireless. Anyway Maase, if you don't have a wireless router (you probably don't), get this: It's made by Nintendo and should cost you €30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
