Asked by Swervy (107points) September 2nd, 2009

I am using a laptop computer with Windows XP and I want to hook up my nintendo Wii console up to the internet through my laptop. Will it work with a laptop? Also I want to hook up my nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector to my laptop wirelessly to my Wii I am on Bigpond Dial up broadband will it still work this way?

If you have a wireless network, it’s quite easy. If you have it secured, you just need the same security info you entered onto your laptop. If you’ve got wireless that shoots out of your laptop from a wired connection, I’m not sure. But basically, I just went into my Wii settings and it was pretty obvious how to connect it to my Wi-Fi connection. I don’t know if there is an ethernet port on the Wii or not. I guess I’d suggest just trying it.

Yes it will work from your laptop because it has the same Internet signal.
The Nintendo website explains it.
It’s very easy, it shows you step by step. I haven’t used the Internet in mine for a while so I can’t really explain how to do it good. But to get better signal when trying to connect, make sure that there’s not alot of stuff in the way between your Wii and Internet box. Or else it will take a long time to connect.
