No wireless router for your Wii? Use your WiFi dongle |
Ó
Let's say that you're one of those people who got their very-own Wii (and didn't smash it). You're excited to get to know the console, so after trying out Wii Sports,you decided to try out its WiFi capabilities. But you have a small problem, you don't have any wireless routers and of course, your newly purchased Wii doesn't come with an Ethernet jack. But thank goodness that you have a DS, and since Wii's WiFi works the same way as that of the DS, you could use that Nintendo WiFi dongle of yours to get online. In an article we found over at Ars Technica, someone tried to use it to get their Wii online and when they checked the Wii's wireless settings, there was an option for the dongle.
So, if you're planning on buying a wireless router to maximize the Wii's capabilities and you happen to have a Ninty WiFi dongle lying around your house, that may spare you from the added expenses. Tell us if it worked for you too.

Nintendo officially confirmed that the dongle will work.
I am useing it now...and it does work. Funny thing is I have a wireless router...but it never worked with my DS, and it also does not work with my Wii. So I had to buy the dongle. The lack of what the Wii can do online however makes it short lived...only thing that seems to be working is the virtual console, and sending emails.
Big N said it months before so this isn't something new for us -.-
could you use any WiFi dongle or does it have to be the Nintendo one? I have a Mac and the official dongle is not Mac compatible!
