User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Works well with Wii and other computers
This adapter worked well out of the box. I went to the network config and set up the Wii to use the wired connection and it connected without any issues. Never had an issue with the adapter.
I also found that it works well for connecting computers to the network when an ethernet port is not available. I used it to connect my OLPC to the network and it worked great.
2 Stars did not work, since not official Nintendo product, no support
I have messed with networking technologies for a while, with hubs, routers, etc. running on my home network, built my son’s gaming PC from scratch - I have some experience getting computer and networking gear to work. I could not make this lan adapter work. My router/DHCP server would give it an IP address, but the Wii would always fail the connect test. After trying everything I could think of, I wound up talking to Nintendo support on the phone for an hour, after debugging quite a bit they found out that it was not a Nintendo-blessed network adapter (which you can only buy directly from them, apparently.) So they blamed that for the problems and suggested I try the wireless link, which I did and it worked on the first try (after I dug out and set up an old wireless router I had.) Gave it two stars because I am not sure who is at fault here, Nintendo or the manufacturer.
5 Stars very simple, works as advertised
I have wireless in my house but my Wii is in an entertainment cabinet where it doesn’t have consistent wireless connectivity. Downloading updates or games from the shopping channel would almost always time out 
The LAN adapter works as advertised and is very easy to install.
5 Stars Works Perfect
I recently bought this adapter since I did not have wireless in my apt. and it works perfectly. You plug it in and then hook up the ethernet and away you go.
5 Stars very easy to use!
I know very little about things concerning the internet and hooking stuff up (I’m a 21 year old college student that needed a wired connection for my dorm), but this was extremely simple! You just plugged the included wire into the wii adaptor and then into an open spot on your modem and you’re done, that’s it! I love it because it’s easy to hook up and put away, although the games take a minute to download when you buy them. A highly advisable buy!
