I'm trying to find a USB Ethernet adapter for the Wii because my Wifi doesn't seem to want to work. I would like to just walk into a store and get one and not order online. Is there a cheap one that actually works well? What are your experiences?

Thanks.

Before you waste money on an adapter you should call Nintendo and get your wireless working.

It's silly to buy anything when you have the best way to connect right there.

But Wifi is more unreliable and generally slower than an ethernet connection. I would much rather have an ethernet connection.

Any specific brands anyone can point me to? I would like a cheap one.

The first part of that is myth and the second part isn't true for consoles but hey. Spend your money how you want.

I bought this one a week ago. http://www.amazon.com/Intec-DUS02044-Lan-Adapter/dp/B000MXDT80/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-8605918-7749500?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1187575139&sr=8-2 So far I've had zero problems. I bought mine from Futureshop. You should be able to get one from Walmart, Best Buy, EBgames, ect. Any major electronic store should have them. And Jaysonguy, A wired connection is always better then a wireless connection.

Ah, even more expensive than Nintendo's. Thanks though.
