Summary: DAtel Wifi Max Usb Connecter
Comment: I bought this Usb for 12.97 and I was struggling for 3 days solid to get it to work. Finally It worked and was able to use internet on my wii. But the next day I came back to it and it didn't work so we are trying to get a computer nerd to help us. If you're wondering about getting it get the 'Nintendo Wi-fi USB Connecter not the Datel one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A piece of junk.
Comment: Even after much searching of the internet for help and hours of tweaking the Wifi Max connected with a Wii for only a few minutes before failing and refusing to do so again. I might have forgiven it for having a limited range had the Wii been further away from the PC, but I would expect it to operate within fifteen feet!
By contrast, a Linksys wireless router is now happily talking wirelessly with the Wii and through an ethernet cable to an Xbox 360. Like reviewers above, I'd strongly advise anyone wishing to connect their Wii to the internet to use a router suitable for their internet connection rather than wasting their money on one of these things.

Summary: BEWARE
Comment: I purchased this on the box's promise that it "works with any internet connection". Not so! I connect through a USB modem, and the software supplied does not detect it.
I am computer literate (I have a degree in computing science for goodness sake), and tried everything I could to get this to work. After some research, I found many many accounts of people with USB modems having the same problem.
If you've got a normal ethernet connection, this will most likely work fine, but after my experience, I would NOT recommend this product. Do as I intend to do, and buy the official Nintendo USB connector instead.

Summary: Garbage
Comment: Don't bother with this product, use any cheap USB WiFi adapter, your wii will pick it up, and after following the instructions for your wireless router you'll be online in no time!
Customer Rating:
Summary: WiFi Max, WiFi Don't Bother?!?!
Comment: If you're looking to waste a few hours slowly going completely mad then this is the WiFi Connector for you. Complete with idiot manual and hype that it simply cannot live up to this product has it all!
Except that it does not work. After three hours of going through the same simple process the thing refused to work. I was looking at this and the offical Nintendo wifi dongle and foolishly fell into the trap of believing what the packaging said.
Please do not buy this. I have learned my lesson well.
