I purchased this adapter to stream netflix to my Wii. This device is about as close to plug and ply as you can get, and at a great price

We bought this because we didn't want to go wifi in our house, but still wanted to put the wii online to download games. We bought this and a 50' cable. Plugged it in and within a few minutes we were online with the wii. It's like plugging the wii right into your router.

This puppy is ugly but who cares as it sits in the back with all that other ugly stuff.
The best part about this thing is the price, under 11 bucks.
This thing really works and for the price I don't care how ugly it is.

I purchased the USB LAN Adapter for my Wii so I could get a more stable connection for Netflix streaming. My router is located upstairs in the farthest room away from the Wii, so I had problems losing the connection while streaming Netflix shows. This adapter was the cheapest one on Amazon at the time I purchased it, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I haven't been disappointed. The setup is fairly painless, you just plug it in and change the connection settings in the Wii menu to Wired. After that, I had no problems with the buffering of my Netflix shows to the Wii. I would highly recommend this product.

This is a very good product and works well. I wanted to hard wire my Wii instead of running wireless and this product did the trick.

I haven't had any problems with this - it has worked great from day one. The only thing I did have a problem with was the installation. It didn't come with instructions, my husband figured it out though after a while of aggravation- we aren't the most tech-savvy people so that was our fault. Still works- I've had it about a year now maybe more.

This product works great. We have no complaint's wecan watch movies with our Wii without the movie skipping or stopping and thequality is great.

I got this because it was the cheapest model available, and I'll be danged if it has ever let me down. Paying more: for chumps? You make the call!

Your Wii literature warns against using a LAN network adapter not made by Nintendo to connect your Wii to your local network. When I first connected my Wii using this adapter and it didn't work I thought I had just tossed $10 down the drain. After I rechecked all my connections and found one loose, I reconnected and everything worked just fine. This adapter doesn't have quite the classy exterior of the Nintendo design but it works satisfactorily. Why pay more?

We bought this to help with our internet connection with our Wii. We had a lot of issues using Netflix with our wireless connection. So far we have had a much better connection and no longer have to deal with the connection being lost in the middle of a movie.
