Forums - Nintendo - Okay, i want to hook my Wii upto the Internet.

Hey guys, recently i've been playing my Wii a fair bit, and i just realise there is no Ethernet port, do i have to buy a Nintendo brand add-on or something?

 

I don't use Wireless btw.

You need a wireless adapter or a wireless router or vsync.

All of which are wireless, sorry guy no ethernet.

USB wont work either - at least that's what I heard.

There is a Nintendo brand ethernet plug, that goes into one of the USB ports.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Isn't there an instruction manual that tells you how to hook it up?



you can get one of these http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/acc/wiiLAN.jsp

Well you get your Wii out, and then you get your internet out, and you get your internet plug (tm), and you plug it into the internet.



Thanks guys, i might have to grab that ethernet plug thingie, i hope a local store sells them, otherwise it's Ebay time.

Bu the way... does it have to be a Nintendo brand one? or can it be any branded one (I could probably get one for free at work)?

It's more than likely not proprietery so knock yourself out.. I'm assuming that because I can use either one of my wireless keyboards through the USB ports.
