How to Connect a Wii to a Belkin F5D7234-4 v4 Router

The Belkin F5D7234-4 v4 supports both wired and wireless connections. Although the Wii only comes with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, a separate Wii LAN Adapter can be used to connect via an Ethernet cable. Depending on the quality of your Internet and home layout, a wired connection may perform better as signal interference and dropped connections won't be an issue.
