ur wii has a wireless lan built in so go into setting (internet) if u have a surcure network (key) i think its a 13 number code... type that into ur wii and should be ok to play then.. if not it will give u a code just google the code and it tells u how to resolve it.

 

if that don't work try this...http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/index.jsp

u gotta download from nintendo through the wii the browsers for the internet. Had to pay £3.50. To get on the network though its dead simple. if i remember its in settings and then network, theres a simple wizard

Wireless is easy

 

Mine is not I've just got my LAN adaptor this morning, plugged it into the Wii, unplugged the e'net connection from my PS3 and put it into the LAN adaptor. Re-booted everything expecting it to work and nothing What am I doing wrong? Surely I should be able to use the same connection/cable that my PS3 has been using??

did you search for a connection in the wii internet settings, it should be a different network from the wireless one

why are you using lan to connect wii to the router, just use the wii's wireless to connect to the router, if you got a crap router you will have to manually forward the ports that the wii uses
