How to Connect 3G Wireless to a Wii

The Nintendo Wii has built-in wireless capabilities that require a home network in order to function. Connect a Nintendo Wii to a wireless 3G cellular network in the same manner as that of a WiFi network using a DSL or cable modem. The procedure is straightforward and does not require any software or the need to use a computer.
