What materials do you need for wii online gaming?
You need a router. If you don't want to spend up to 200 dollars on a router, for 40 dollars, you can buy the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector. So much better. It only works with Window XP, but once you install the softaware and register your wii (its really simple), you have wi-fi. It was made for people without routers, so if you don't have one, just buy this.








If you choose to go the way of the router, it's a little harder. here it is in simple steps.





i) Go into wii settings





ii) Go to the third page (I think 3rd) and click internet.





iii) It should have 3 boxes going down. Click the first one.*





iv) Click Wireless*





v) it will either ask, or just start to search for an access point. If it asks, just click yes.





vi) If your router is password-protected you will have to enter the password ( it will pop up right away once the connection is found)





vii) Once you enter the password, you should be done, it might ask you to shut down your wii (it will do it automatically, you don't have to press the button). Just click yes.





viii) You should be done! now you have wifi.








If you decide to go the way of the USB connector.





i) install the software that comes on the CD when you buy the pacakge.





ii) Once the software is installed, an icon on your desktop toolbar should be there. Click into it.





iii) a small window will come up that says nintendo USB connector, and there will be a list of usernames registered. THere should be none at the moment.





iv) Like with the router, go into your wii internet settings, and test for a connection.





v) Go to the window on your computer and after a short while you wii username will pop up and it will be asking to connect. Just click enable.





vi) Voila! You have wifi





Hope all of this helps.
Reply:you just have to have a regular 102.11g wireless router. You must be near the router for it to work. You must have everything for the router to work. I use a linksys router that I got in June, 2004, so just about any router will do. The wii already has the wireless capabilities in it.
