How to Use a Wii With Comcast

Comcast is a cable-based Internet provider that uses a cable modem. The cable modem can be connected to a router, which wirelessly shares an Internet connection with any Wi-Fi-capable devices, including the Nintendo Wii. Although the Wii handles most of the technical aspect of connecting to a wireless network, you need to know the name of the wireless network (SSID) and its password, if required. Refer to the person that set up the wireless network if you don't have that information.
