wired is better unless you have an above average internet connection and/or router (i have both ;D ;D ;D).
Nintendo USB Connector.
I use one with a router for internet from my other computer.
I had the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector in use for a while, but I found it offered limited range (couldn't reach basement and had low bars between walls). The wireless works fine for me, but wired would definitely be the fastest but its not really necessary on most games, because I rarely experience lag.
what do you mean wired? ???
yes i know i sound stupid
but do you mean like a DSL or cable modem? or a wired router
if you do mean ired router where can you find those?
I use a wireless router from downstairs to upstairs, through a wall or two. It works fine, I think I get "Good" signal strength. I would recommend a wireless router, because you can use it for other computers in the house.
thank you all but i still want to know what you mean by wired..... ???
but thanks anyways
also
what kind of wireless router do you recommend?
Wired as in you connect your Wii with an Ethernet cable to your router for maximum performance.
A wireless router should work fine though.

Yes but have to buy an adapter, it plugs into USB port in the back of your Wii, the you plug an Ethernet cable to the adapter and into the modem; but personally I recommend wireless for the Wii. :D

I use a Linksys...seems to work fine.
im talking about for the ds lite
Well. Umm. Does the DS Lite have a built-in wireless switch, for Wi-Fi hotspots? If so, get a wireless router.
We all thought you were talking about a Wii.

You kind of forgot to mention that.
Nintendo WiFi USB Connector
Pros: Easy to install and set up. Works well and won't have hicups.
Cons: Only works when the computer it is connected to is on. Limited range.
Wireless Router
Pros: Always on, large range.
Cons: Harder to set up.

im sorry about to mention that :-[
i looked for Nintendo USB connector on the internet and it said they discontinued making them
what happened?
if thats down i might get the wireless
one more question
if we have DSL, can we use the wireless router
What are you talking about, i just saw it at bestbuy couple days ago.
I have an USb connector that I barely use. if I knew how to send it, I'd give it to you.
So what should I do?
1) get a wireless router for both Wii and DS
2) or get wired just for the Wii

Really? I'll have to move my Wii downstairs sometime to see if it works for me. :P
I don't know if they modified them, but I got mine before the Wii came out and they said you need a wi-fi one for the wii, but I used my DS one and it works fine.
The one I have is a white connector that plugs into the USB port. They are everywhere, Best Buy gots them.
Yeah, I have one of them for my DS. I'll have to wait until I'm alone to move my Wii closer to my computer though....
if we have just a DSL modem, can we still connect to the internet?
i need ineternet to update my wii
plz respond to this
im getting brawl tomorrow!!!
i need to know!
for the WII lan adapter, you just need a DSL modem and a pc right?
sry for spamming
You don't need the internet to update your Wii for Brawl. The update is initiated when you turn on Brawl for the first time.
And for the Wii Lan Adapter, you need a DSL Modem, an ethernet cable, a PC, and a Wii (duh.) :P

okay thankyou
now i can minimize my spendings this month..........
reached the record high!!!!
Well I think I know the reason why mostly everyone's wi-fi is not working.
The servers are overcrowded from everyone trying to get on at once.
That explains the "lag" and unablitily to get on wi-fi.
Duh. I knew that, and I don't even have Wi-Fi or played online yet.
i use it every day, even now ♪♠♪# XD
