Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wii Wifi sucks, this is your ticket to Wii on the net
The WiFi on my wii is so damn stupid, when I decided to use a powerline device to wire devices in my living room, I got this for the wii and it worked immediatly. I'm curious if it will work for my tivo or other usb devices as well as it worked for the Wii.

This is GREAT.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect for people who hate wireless
I hate wireless connections I don't want any lag. If your like me then this is the product for you. Get it...then hop on mario kart immediately!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent little adapter.
This thing does exactly what it's supposed to. There's no difficulty in use, no problems with the connection, and it actually connects your Wii at 100MBs rather than the 54MBs you would get wirelessly. I used to think there was a hard cap at 54 regardless, but I was wrong. It's especially great if you want to run a wireless-N network (which can get up to 300MBs to connected devices) but you don't want to have to set your router to multi-broadcast (The Wii wireless only picks up wireless-G, which is the 54) and reduce your overall speed.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Product
Gave as a gift. My daughter has a poor DSL line, but this seems to work great on her Wii. We have played MarioKart on line with her and her husband and it did the trick!
Seemed pretty simply - just plug it in.
I think there may have been some setup in the Wii, but it is pretty simple, if it is like setting my my wireless.
Good Product - Good PRice. Would recommend.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great without dealing with wireless
My wireless router is on the 3rd floor, the Wii is on the 1st floor. For some reason, the Wii couldn't see the wireless network, possibly due to the low signal (laptops work on the first floor, but show a weak signal).

Regardless, I didn't want to figure out what the problem was--and I have Ethernet drops in the living room for exactly this purpose. Plugged in the LAN adapter into the Wii, plugged the Ethernet cable into the wall, reboot the Wii and tell the Wii to use it--and it's done. DHCP works fine and the Wii can get on the Internet.

Works like it should and it's cheap--no ridiculous mark-up here, which I had expected (especially given the mark-up on the component video cables).
