Wii Wireless

I've got some hand-me-down dsl modem/wireless router that I've bastardized into my LinkSys router so I could connect my Wii to the interwebs. More often than not, I'm fighting with my Wii to get it to connect to the internet. It finds the *******-router just fine and has full signal strength, it just has problems every now and then getting a connection. We live in an apartment with steel walls or some such, but there's only a slither of wall blocking a direct line of sight from the wireless router to the Wii. (no real wireless network experiance here btw) Also it's embedded between two PC towers. I'm wondering if any of this could cause interference or something?

I'm tempted to just get the ethernet adapter and use ye ol' reliable cat5 cable 100mps goodness directly to my LinkSys router, but that costs $$. :awesome:

Get a wireless router that doesn't suck instead?

The ethernet cable uses a USB port, which I'm sure in the future will become valuable resources.

I would, but then it'd be just for the Wii. :saddowns: I might as well just get the Ethernet deal for it if I can't get this :downswords: router working reliably all the time.

Oh hey, there's that wireless access point thing for the PC they have... Anyone have experience with that?

well, if you get an ethernet adapter, you can make the Wii into a wiireless router

I use Nintendo's Wi-Fi USB Connector. It works fine as long as you're in range.
