Nothing really exciting about it. Wanted to attach the Wii to a router for downloading movies/tv shows from Netflix. It does that, and is easy to hook up. (While I'm reasonably tech savvy I don't have an abundance of patience. I want to plug in and go). The price seemed reasonable.

I bought this because for some reason I couldn't get my Wii connected wirelessly. I don't know why that is because we do have a wireless modem. But all the same with this I was able to hook my system up with my LAN line and was able to get online. So I think it was worth it because there were games over the network that I wanted to buy.

The cable that came with it was just bonus =D. But anyway this thing is really awesome.

This allows your Nintendo Wii to connect via DSL modem to the internet for weekly games updates and you can browse items on the internet.

We purchased the Wii Lan Adapter because connecting our Wii to the Internet was the last thing keeping us from shutting off our wireless network. It arrived yesterday and I plugged it in. Setting it up was just a matter of going into the Wii Options and changing the connection type from Wireless to Wired for the Internet. The Wii tested the connection and we were done. It couldn't be any easier than that.

Bought this and it doesn't work. Extremely disappointed. Not sure how it worked for some and not others like me. Guess I should have put in the extra money for the Nintendo licensed adapter that I now have to buy anyways after this disaster.

Out of character, I read the instructions first before I installed the adapter. Despite this, it still didn't work. Had I read the manual more thoroughly I would have seen that Nintendo is quite emphatic that only their LAN adapter will work. How others were able to use theirs is one of those unquestioned anomalies that sometimes occur. Of course, had I read further and not made assumptions, I would have seen that I could use my wireless router without an external adapter. This configuration works great and saves me the cost of the wired adapter. New mid-year resolution: read the entire manual before operating something, even if I think I know what I'm doing!

Was as advertised when I recieved it, arrived on time as stated at time of sale, fine product looks just like picture on web site.

VERY EASY TO HOOK UP. WE HOOKED IT UP, IT WORKED, WE WERE HAPPY. WOULD HAVE PREFERRED SOMETHING WIRELESS FOR THE SYSTEM

This is a good value because the Will LAN Adapter comes with a 5-foot Ethernet cable. Very easy to setup. Just follow the instructions.

I had to order this online because my local game store only had the wireless connectors. As soon as I received this I plugged it into the Wii and into my modem. I followed the instructions on the options console and everything worked the first time. I've been using it for about two weeks now and have had no problems. It was worth the money because it came with the cord, other ones I've looked at you had to purchase the cord seperately.
