In other words it works great! I'm not sure why this isn't available yet, but here in Canada there already in stores. Though in limited amounts.
I didn't want to spend money on a wireless router. I don't need one. Most wireless routers under fourty dollars aren't all that great. There slow and only work half the time. So I opted for the LAN connection instead. As far as I can tell these USB LAN adapters are not an easy thing to find. I looked everywhere when the Wii was first released and couldn't find any. The moment I heard of this I ran out and bought one (the last one in the store for that matter) Now be aware, you can order the official USB LAN adapter made by Nintendo from there website. But as far as I can tell, they look almost identicle. Also, I'm useing a Mac. So Nintendo's USB WiFi hotspot creater doesn't work for me.
When I brought the package home and opened the box, the first thing I did was plug it into my Wii (obviously) The actual adapter is just a small white box with an Ethernet input in the front, below a small blue light. Coming out the back is a 10 inch cord which has a USB connection on the end. The USB simply plugs into the back of your Wii. So I unplugged my Ethernet cord from my Mac, and plugged the cord into the small white box. I turn on my Wii to do a "Connection test." ..."Would you like to update your Wii?" it now says.
I had never had my Wii online, but almost instantly I was connected. The little blue light on the small white box flickered on and off to indicate information was moving. So I updated my system. After the update I started cruising the Wii channels. I checked the Weather channel, the News channel, and the Shop channel. All worked perfectly. I downloaded the just released Metriod channel and it worked fine. So far I've had zero problems.
If you don't have a wireless router, or don't want Nintendo's USB WiFi hotspot creater. Then buy this. It really depends on your setup though. In my case, this is exactly what I needed and it couldn't have worked better.
