I have a gw-us54mini2g and I was wondering can I connect my wii to wifi even though I have a wired connection or do I need to buy the wifi connector?

If you mean setting up your computer as a WiFi AP/router and then connecting the Wii to it, the website say yes, you can

You'll need proper software tho, which I think should come with the dongle.

However I still recommend a proper router, less hassle.

Yes absolutely you can use planex Us54mini2g for ur wii
Cos im using it all the time, and stable

thanks for the information but how would I be able to do so because I tried using my Us54mini2g as an ap but I do not have a wireless router

You don't need a wireless router, because the key idea here is to turn the planex dongle and the computer into one. The software supplied with the planex should cater to that. Poke around in the supplied software.

hmmm.. interested... might need to get one for my wii

Planex is a wireless router USB adapter
Just install the driver for planex in ur pc
And put it in AP mode in ur Planex
Then go to ur WII settings >Internet > search access points , Done

go to the official website and download the latest firmware update.. the default have bug.. sometimes can and cant connect.

one word. it gets pretty hot after awhile. can also used to connect to PS3.

before this i used planex Us54mini2g..but it kinda slow for online.

Now i still use planex product and it a wired..no need Us54mini2g anymore.

i bought the adapter at this address below.
