| 538529 | 2007-04-06 05:21:00 | Hi, Im looking at setting up my wii online...and want to do this by using wireless router. Im new to wireless so have some questions! I currently have an adsl modem that connects directly by usb to my desktop, giving me Ihugs internet. if I buy a wireless router, can the modem just be plugged into router and still work?? will my desktop be wireless compatible?? Acer Aspire SA80, or do I have to buy another thing too?? Im a bit confused about how to set this up actually! Thanks |

A second computer is connected to the router same router via wireless (Hardware needed) and so third ps that is a laptop is also connected to the same main computer as well (Hardare required) Good luck & happy easter |

| 538531 | 2007-04-06 05:49:00 | Thanks! so basically, all i need is a wireless router in which i can connect my current adsl modem to. the wii will then pick up the wireless access point from the router. I think.... lol |

| 538532 | 2007-04-06 22:01:00 | Just double-check that your existing adsl modem also has an ethernet port on it and not just USB otherwise it won't connect to the router. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 538533 | 2007-04-06 22:52:00 | Bugger, only has 1 USB port. Is there many wireless routers that accepts connections with USB to ADSL modems? |

| 538535 | 2007-04-07 00:00:00 | You wont be able to find a router that excepts USB, its time to upgrade to a new modem/router. Linksys make awesome gear so consider the WAG54g | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 538536 | 2007-04-07 00:55:00 | you could also just buy a modem/router combo which plugs into your computers ethernet port and sends out a wireless signal. This may be easier. | w000t (11562) | ||
