 Should have been included onboard! Jan 07, 2008
By Rob
After first setting up my wii and then spending about 4 hours trying to connect it to my wireless router, I gave up and purchased this adapter.
The Wii internal wireless was incompatible with my DLink 802.11g router. In order to even get the Wii to partially connect to the Internet, I had to disable wireless encryption and force channel 11 (which is very overused in my apartment complex and was pretty much required by Nintendo support).
After researching why my Wii refused to connect on Nintendo's site I found a page that stated my particular version of my router for some reason unknown to me is incompatible with the Wii even though every other wireless gadget I own even down to a pocket PC works perfectly fine even with security at its maximum.
Deciding that the Nintendo wireless is pretty much useless I purchased this adapter. In 1 minute I was online and working fine ever since. Its also much nicer being wired since I pretty much totally dislike wireless connections.
Nintendo definitely should have included this onboard.

Wii-Connected Oct 20, 2007

When it comes to the Nintendo Wii, many gamers have wanted to fins the best ways of downloading games from the internet. Although you can definitely get it through a Wi-Fi router, some of them don't do the job, where you'd have to check with Nintendo. While there are also other ways besides router to get you to go online for your favorite downloads. This Lan adapter from Datel, the same company that developed the Action Replay is very simple and easy to install. You simply plug it into the back of your USB ports on the system, and connect it to your cable or DSL modem. Although it is simple to operate. it does a few problems when the system overheats. nevertheless, it is a good buy for anyone who has a broadband connection, and wants to play hard online with the Wii.

Works well with Wii and other computers Apr 14, 2008
By Timothy Schoenharl
This adapter worked well out of the box. I went to the network config and set up the Wii to use the wired connection and it connected without any issues. Never had an issue with the adapter.
I also found that it works well for connecting computers to the network when an ethernet port is not available. I used it to connect my OLPC to the network and it worked great.

works well, no problems yet Dec 21, 2007
By parricc
This does exactly what it says it will do, and even comes with a 6 foot ethernet cable. If that isn't long enough, the adapter has a wire on itself a few feet long as well. Overall, it gets the job done just as would be expected.

 Works great for Wii, but leaves DS cold Nov 29, 2007
By Ron Cole
The Intec LAN Adapter for the Wii is the straightforward way to get your Nintendo online. It is simple: just plug one end of the adapter into one of the USB slots on your Wii, plug the other end into your DSL or cable modem, and you're set!
The big advantage of the Intec LAN adapter over Nintendo's Wi-Fi USB connector is that Intec's adapter is computer independent (because it doesn't go through your computer); Nintendo's Wi-Fi connector, on the other hand, doesn't work with many firewalls, and is Windows-specific (XP and, with an update, possibly Vista). If you're using a Mac or the wrong firewall (such as ZoneAlarm), the Intec adapter or an 802.11g-compliant wireless Wi-Fi router are your two best bets for connecting your Wii to the internet in areas without free Wi-Fi coverage.
The disadvantage of this product over the wireless options mentioned above is that it only connects your Wii to the internet - your Nintendo DS, if you have one, will have to fend for itself when it comes to finding a connection. For some people, this will be fine; for others (especially Pokemon players), this will be unacceptable.
