For the router, Wireless G is the way to go. Wii doesn't support N, and B is slow as dirt. I recommend any Linksys or DLink products that support G. You CAN use an N router, but as seeing you're only using wireless for your Wii, there's no reason to shell out the extra bucks for the tech.

My fav Wii accessory is the Nyko Perfect Shot. It is a $12 handgun shell that looks like a white 9 millimeter gun. You stick your Wiimote on top and plug in the nunchuck underneath. Makes fora great experience while playing shooter games, especially on-rail games

 

No, the Wii, PS3 and the wireless adapter for the 360 uses G, BUT, the G and N are only for data transfer speed.

If he buy a wireless N, the Wii will only transfer speed at G speeds, BUT the router will still have a much larger coverage.

 

You're absolutely right, Fernando. I was assuming that the router wouldn't be far from the Wii, granted that it wouldn't be used for anything else. Yet, that all depends on where the incoming drop is for the cable/dsl/ into the house. I have a wireless N router but my Wii is MAYBE 3 feet away from it. Its more used for my computer and my roommates' computers.
