is there any way to avoid purchasing a wireless router or going to a Wi-Fi SPot?

I had the wifi USB adaptor for about two weeks but then my family got a wireless router, so I stopped using it. No, I didn't know they were going to get one. Anyway, it seemed alright when I used it. Good enough for metroid and mario kart.

It doens't "overheat," it just gets hot. Mine works fine for my Wii AND my DS.

But I recommend you just get a wireless router, so you can use it for all your systems.
