Datel WiFi MAX for the Wii |
Ó
Online
connectivity's the name of the game these days when it comes to both
gaming consoles and handhelds. Of course, the same goes for Nintendo's
awesome twosome, the Wii and the DS handheld. But what if you have no
wireless router? Does that mean that you're forever stuck with not
being able to connect both platforms to each other?Hell no. From Datel comes the WiFi MAX for the Wii, "the easiest and cheapest way to take your consoles online and compete with gamers from all over the world." This little doohickey is your ticket to the world of online gaming.
Using it is simplicity itself: just plug your USB WiFi dongle into your internet-enabled PC to create a Wireless Access Point. You can then connect to the internet and play online-enabled multiplayer games with DS and Wii gamers from all over the world.
The WiFi MAX supports up to five local DS gamers at a time, so you and your friends can all play online at once with no loss of speed. You can also use it to download additional material such as new levels, skins, artwork and even classic games for the Virtual Console.
WiFi MAX operates on the Wireless G standard, so it's five times faster than an ordinary WiFi connection, and if you use the bundled USB cable and dongle stand, you can position your dongle to maximize WiFi range. The WiFi MAX is also usable with other WiFi-enabled devices capable of using the internet such as laptops or PDAs.
The WiFi MAX for the Wii is out now, and costs UK£ 29.99 and US$ 39.99.
UPDATE: Somebody commented that this device was made by Datel and not Nintendo. We checked our sources and found out that WiFi MAX is indeed a Datel product and we have made the necessary corrections in the article. Our apologies for that minor boo-boo.

i got this for my ds and man does it give u problems. always issues with 'limited connectivity' and then u share ur main connection and then guess what? yeap thats rite, ur internet disappears and then u gotta uninstall and then reinstall and hope it works. its also sucha b*tch tryin to run like BeUp with this. its mad bootleg. just some fyi for the ds version but mebe Wii is better? idk -- it really just ur luck. it might be the easiest way for one person but hell for another. just my 2 cents.
Coincidentally or not, it matches the colors of the Wii..
Just buy a damn router. They cost just as much and you can do much more with it.
I already bought the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector when it came out for the DS...And I succesfully connected my Wii to it as well...
Why the hell would they release the same exact thing and expect people to buy it?
My DS router worked great on my friend's Wii, but there were some range problems since my comperter was on a different level of the house. Plus I will be using my DS more for another year.
What? This product is NOT made by Nintendo, it is made by Datel. There is no Nintendo branding on it, and they already have their own Wifi connector.

Those guys only make crap,i prefer to wait until Nintendo releases and official One.i dont know if the Nintendo BS USB works.
"WiFi MAX operates on the Wireless G standard"
Thats nice, the Nintendo DS "operates on the Wireless B standard".
OK I bough datels wifi max a while ago the old version its black and works wit my psp, DS, Wii and alsow works wit other computers-.- you can get up to 5 devices!!
Ex: 1psp,1ds,2pc,1wii no problem!! easy to use (just need some basic knowlegdge witch takes abaout 1 hour to learn)
buy it!! its good!
these suk, i have a PSP one at it's terrible
all these ppl are retarted this is the coolest ***** ever it rocks.th reason it might not work is maybe because you didn't READ the instructions or u don't have dsl or broaband or ur computer is CRAZY just like you thinking that the wifiMAX is wak..........................next time read instructions. or get verizon or even optimumu guaranteesd u will have no difulculties
I bought one for my Wii. No signal strength, wouldnt work, blah blah blah. Returned it and bought a router. Wii is online!
I had some problems with it but overall its okay. It worked with my psp and ds.
ive got verizon dsl and i also got a wii for christmas. i want to go online but the wii is in the basement and the pc is on the second floor. (it goes basement, first floor, second floor for those of you confused) anybody think it will still work?
Don't buy if your Computer is on another floor or more than a couple of rooms from Wii. No signal strength, much better buying a good wireless router
dont buy anything from this company because i had a action replay and that didnt work and my wifi connector doesent work at all!!
Although not as good as a router. With a little tweaking you can easily figure out how to set up the Wii to work. I had common errors that most people I have seen have had on forums but with a little tweaking I got it to work fine.
