I don't understand the question. Do you have a wireless router and internet access? I think the Wii just finds a wireless signal and connects. Mine tries to connect to the neighbors wifi but it has security enabled and it can't connect.

No, you need a wireless modem or router to broadcast the signal so your will has something to connect to.

no there is actually a wii usb adapter that you plug into a pc or laptop that has a wired internet connection and it creates a wireless signal the wii can recieve. and yes actuallt it looks like a flash drive and is sold with wii accessories

this is what youd need if you dont have a wireless router.

If you have nothing broadcasting the wireless internet from the source, your router/modem, then there is no way for any device to recieve any wireless signal. You need to first get a router with wireless capabilities, once the signal is sent out, I bet the wii will just recognize right off the bat.

you wont need a wireless router if you use that usb adapter
