Thread: How do I connect my Wii system to the internet if there is no ethernet port on the console itself?

My parents purchased a Wii system about two years ago. My mother just got Netflix and wants to stream it through the Wii system. Thier console however does not have an ethernet port. Is there a certain adapter I could buy for her to plug into one of the USB ports or something like that?

yes their is no ethernet port on the wii.but you con order a adapter online and you plug it in the usb port or Connect it wireless it more easy to do ,but you need a wireless network.hope this helps and you need to download the netflix Chanel. sorry i wasn't specific. the name is a lan adapter.then when you plug it in you plug the ethernet cable. hope this helps.

I tried to get my on the net, in the end I had to go for broadband and go into settings on the Wii. I needed my password and codes, input them in and it found it. Hope that works!

A quick search in the internet found what you're looking for:

Personally, I have my Wii connected to my wireless network, and find that works great.
(Well, usually. I'm having some difficulty today. Don't think it's related to the wireless, though :/)
