Its wireless, you don't need a cable to connect to your PC as long as your PC has wireless capability.

If you really want a cable, you can use one of these:-

Desktop PC's generally are not wireless, you need to get a wireless dongle.

Laptops normally have it buit in, if it is not too old.

I don't know whether the 'wii' is or not.

Either get a USB wireless dongle, such as one of these:-

Wireless USB Network Adapter: WG111

Note, this is just an example, not a reccomendation.

or connect using a cable, as linked to before, assuming your PC has a network port. If it hasn't you would need an an adapter card. And assumiing that the router has wired ports also.

Just a word of warning. Dont get a Netgear WG111T if you ever want to use a linux operating system. Netgear will not support linux drivers for it.

What make of router have you got.

Jimdefruit · 29-11-07, 10:06 PM

I have a D-Link 624+ wireless router. It also has 4 lan cable connections.

spidercat · 29-11-07, 10:14 PM

You can use a lan cable and plug it into your network port at the back of your pc and the router port 1 usally.Then you can tap into the router by going into explorer and type in the ip address this may be under the router some were.The defult is something like 192.168.1.2. If not you cnd reset it at the bottom to default the router and the go in.
