Title: 56k for Wii??? Post by: Izret101 on September 30, 2007, 03:50:38 PM I made a little post about this in Idle chatter.
I want to try and figure out if and how i can get my Wii online since i have become very unfortunate and don't have hi speed anymore.(I want VC dloads!!!) I read that you could get the DS online with dialup using the WiFi connect USb plug thing for PCs. Someone said they tried it with a Wii but it wouldn't work. Kept timing out. I still might give that a shot though... There is no ethernet for the Wii so maybe i could try something with the USB? Anyone have any ideas? Title: Re: 56k for Wii???

Or does Texas not have high speed? :)

You might have more luck with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Intec-DUS02044-Wii-Lan-Adapter/dp/B000MXDT80/ref=pd_bbs_3/103-9603725-9097450?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1191268365&sr=8-3 Although, there is still no guarantee that this will work with a PC using ICS to share a dial up connection. If your speed sucks, you're still going to get the timeouts. Title: Re: 56k for Wii??? Post by: Izret101 on October 01, 2007, 04:07:06 PM Get high speed it would be less hassle. Or take you PC to a friends house with high speed. Or does Texas not have high speed? :) The issue is the island isn't fully covered and it is harder to find a reliable provider than most places. Plus i don't want to start paying for it at my girlfriends mothers house and get locked into an agreement that i am not going to be using. Title: Re: 56k for Wii??? Post by: shoes23 on October 01, 2007, 11:37:37 PM Those Wi-Fi dongles should work, all the Wii needs is a wireless connection. The problem would be however that you wouldn't have a static IP address. You would need to reenter your settings on the Wii everytime you wanted to log online. Maybe I'm way off, but I have an extra dongle at home, I'll try it out sometime this week.

I would really like to try and get some of the Virtual Console games. |
