Nintendo Wi-Fi
USB Connector
Access Point
If you already own a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, but don't
have a wireless network , you can still set up a wireless
connection for your Wii. If you have a PC running Windows® XP
or Windows Vista® directly connected to your broadband
Internet access, you can use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
in an open USB port on the PC. Once you install the software
that's included with the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector,
wirelessly connecting your Wii is easy.
(Check support.nintendo.com for the latest PC driver
versions.)
NOTE: Your PC must be ON when using this USB connector to connect to
the Internet or WiiConnect24.
Wii LAN Adapter
If you rely on a wired high-speed local-area network
(LAN) instead of a wireless network, you can connect
Wii directly to your wired LAN with a Wii LAN Adapter.
(Sold separately, may be ordered through Nintendo’s
web site at www.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or
by calling Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700.)
See page 61 for easy Internet Setup details for using
the Wii LAN Adapter.
