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?

As far as I'm aware, you can use an ethernet to USB adapter on the Wii. Try that.

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? Smiley

AFAIK, the ethernet adapter has to have a chipset that the wii is compatible with.

You might have more luck with something like this:

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.

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.

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.
