How to Configure a Wii Wireless Adapter

Online gaming and social opportunities are available to Wii users who have their consoles connected to the Internet. The Nintendo Wii can access the Internet directly with an Ethernet cable, or wirelessly through a wireless router or with a Wi-Fi USB wireless connector. The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB wireless connector is an acceptable option if you don't have a wireless router already set up, as it acts as a wireless router from which the console can receive Internet signals.
