It doesn't have one. It was criticized on launch. They do make a USB-->Ethernet adapter for 20 bucks.

yeah like fiasco said. If you want to use a Ethernet with the wii, you have to buy the USB thing. But if you can, the built in wireless works great.

You're doing something wrong. I have a freaking Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (it sucks) on the second floor and opposite side of my house (the Wii is on the first floor) and I still get a strong signal strength. The Wii receives Wi-Fi really, really well.

either that or my wii is faulty, all you do is put in the WPA/TKIP number and it connects for you, no way i messed up on that I have surfed the web with it before.


right now it isn't working I get error codes on wii shop channel, on the news channel, everything gives me a different error
