Just use a multi output router, connected to your current adsl modem. Then plug one line into your computer, one into a wii adsl adapter. Then go to option on the wii menu and use the same options that you use on your computer to connect to the internet.

You could also use a wifi router and wifi dongle for the Wii, but i think the connection speed will be much slower. Though that is the solution I'm having to consider at the moment.

Alternatively, use torrents to download the games you want, then burn them to disc as usual.

Wii's have built in wireless, man.
No need for a dongle.

It works the same as your pc.
You'll need to enter the password, and maybe the IP details of your router.

Works perfectly fast for me.

Built in wifi? Really? I never noticed that. Have to double check when I unpack it this afternoon.

You can get you wii flashed into English though, if you need.

Wii indeed have built-in wifi ability which I only used once to register myself on the Wii network (before I sent the Japanese console flashed into English)
