to check, why not go into your routers settings... connect to the routers IP, usually being 192.168.1.1 and then log on and check to see if there are wireless options available

If you don't have a router you can scan too check if your neighbors have

1. A wireless router is something that you buy at the store. It stands (mostly, some models don't) and has some lights on it normally reqarding broadband link and local network status.

2. Simple, all you need to do is go to the settings in the Wii menu, then you go to internet settings, then click on Wireless connection. Your Wii should try to attempt to find your router. If your router is under security protection, then you are required to input your WEP code into your Wii (the WEP code is found in brackets under the router).

3. You can use Wi-Fi, but through using a USB cord that plugs into the front of a computer or USB router. You can get a LAN cable converter at any conveniance store if you only have a LAN router

4. You need to have some sort of internet service like SQL yahoo, internet explorer, Mozilla Fox, etc. to be able to connect to the internet. Think of it this way, if you can surf the internet on the computer (like how you just posted this thread), then you have internet access. The router is only something that connects to the internet and broadcasts the signal wirelessly.

hope this helps!

A router is basically a wireless internet provider. To play wi-fi games, you need to set your Wii setting so that it will connect thru your router. To play wi-fi games, as long the internet is working, it will automatically go on to the internet for play. Ok, hope this helps
