Works Perfectly! Simple To Use!
My wireless router sits within a few feet of my Wii. I saw no reason why I should be using a wireless connection, when a wired connection is typically faster and more reliable (and is one less possible source of device conflicts).
This worked perfectly. I purchased this on one of the Black Friday sales, so it was much cheaper than the normal price. I figured I had nothing to lose. But, now that I am using it, I think it's a good value at the current price too.
Simple to use:
1. Plug it into one of the USB ports in the back of the Wii.
2. Connect the device to your router using a Cat-5 line (not included).
3. Go into the Wii Internet menu and configure the internet connection for "wired".
If it's working, you'll see a blue LED on the device blink as it is accessing the internet. Hardest part was opening the package!
Does the trick
I was looking for a product that would replace the spotty wireless connection that I had (older router clear across the house...). I also wanted the additional speed that a dedicated, hard-wired connection would provide to the gaming console. This did the trick - no problems so far, and very simple to setup in the configuration section of the Wii menu. Definitely would recommend this to anyone having problems with a wireless connection.
