How to Connect a Wii to the Internet With a USB Network

The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector was developed by Nintendo and Buffalo Technology to turn a wired broadband Internet connection into a wireless network for use with Nintendo products such as the Wii and Nintendo DS. The product was discontinued in 2007, but some retail and online stores and auction websites still distribute them. The connector comes with an installation disk to guide you through the process, allowing you to connect your Wii to the Internet.
