I love playing my DS online but it is so hard stealing the connection from my neighbors.  Does this thing really work for $40 ?   Let me know if you have it.

My wii works fine with the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, as well as my DS. One of the options in your wii setup is the use of it. The only problem is compatability with firewalls. I need to shut mine off everytime I want to go online with a game console. If you can find a compatible wireless router for less the $40 then I would go with that though, the range of Nintendo's is just 10m (30ft).

Just make sure that you have Windows XP. Because the Nintendo USB Wi-Fi connector only works with XP. I can't use it because I have Windows 2000.

Mine works well, even with firewall stuff, but I had to download the latest version of the wifi software off of nintendo's website.
