No wireless router for your Wii? Use your WiFi dongle

WiiLet’s say that you’re one of those people who got their very-own Wii (and didn’t smash it). You’re excited to get to know the console, so after trying out Wii Sports,you decided to try out its WiFi capabilities. But you have a small problem, you don’t have any wireless routers and of course, your newly purchased Wii doesn’t come with an Ethernet jack.

But thank goodness that you have a DS, and since Wii’s WiFi works the same way as that of the DS, you could use that Nintendo WiFi dongle of yours to get online. In an article we found over at Ars Technica, someone tried to use it to get their Wii online and when they checked the Wii’s wireless settings, there was an option for the dongle.

So, if you’re planning on buying a wireless router to maximize the Wii’s capabilities and you happen to have a Ninty WiFi dongle lying around your house, that may spare you from the added expenses. Tell us if it worked for you too.
