If you have taken your Wii online, how have you done it?

this could have been dealt with in the Q&A thread. but in any case...i used my router. I don't understand your question because the only way you can get online is to have a wireless router or USB dongle. what were you asking that for?

yeah works fine, i updated the firmware like a few months back though when i got my DS so if yours is old you might want to do the same. im using channel 11 too instead of the default 6 which is supposed to increase performance

I use a Belkin 54g wireless router/modem combo, no problems whatsoever. The Wii detected it straight away, and connected.

ah cool, i'll try change the channel.
because mine is detecting the signal, but can't connect through it.

I just tried my netgear router last night and now my Wii likes it. I guess the Wii is just pickier on the distance than other devices. Pitty the DS still doesn't like it.

I go through my MacBook Pro notebook. Ethernet into the Mac then I have an outgoing net share from OS X which the Wii picks up and uses. It's not pretty but it does the job while the house isn't wireless and it works well!
