My aunt can't get high speed internet via dsl or cable where she lives. She connects to somewhat high speed internet using an AT&T 3G service. It is a usb dongle that's connected to her laptop. How do I connect a Nintendo Wii to the laptop and use that internet connection? Could it be done directly either wired or wirelessly, or does a router need to be used?

What Wireless Device Should I Use For WiFi on the Nintendo Wii?

Q. The Nintendo Wii USB connector has been discontinued (and I don't have it). What other WIRELESS devices could I use as an alternative?
No, it says backordered. Also, on wikipedia, it says that it has been discontinued until further notice. It has not been released why it has been taken off the market or when it will return.

Answer
A quick search of the Net shows several places selling this item:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Nintendo+Wii+USB+connector+&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1

However, as you said, it has been discontinued by Nintendo for now.

So, you can buy a wireless home router from most anyplace that carries computer equipment: Circuit City, Best Buy, Radio Shack, Fry's Electronics ....

Any wireless home router will work with the Wii. I currently use an old Netgear, and the newer models will just work better.

How do you rate the NEW Nintendo Wii compared to the competition?

Kj NEiL

I am planning on purchasing a Nintendo Wii, I just want to get everyone's opinion and rating about it. A little pros and cons about it will be very much appreciated too.

Please rate it from 1 to 5 : 1 as the lowest (bad) and 5(as the highest)

THANKS in advance!

Answer
As far as rating the Wii with the PS3 and the 360, the ONLY comparison is playbility, in which it is superior. Graphics however are barely any better than the gamecube, so the other systems annihilate it there. Personally, I'd get the Wii because it's cheaper, and it fun. I'd say overall 4.5
