i am planning on buying the usb connector for my wii and i wanted to know if it will provide a fast internet service. its about 25 feet away from the computer to the wii console. will i also have 2 keep my computer on to access into the internet?
The USB connector will provide a fast wireless connection, but not as fast as wired connection. Still, you won't really see the difference since the communication between the Wii and the Internet is very little and never of great traffic (only when you download the update for the Wii and the Virtual console games is the traffic greater). Yes your computer will need to be on every time you want to go on the Internet via the USB connector. The best solution for not having to leave your computer on is a wired connection via a hub or to get a wireless hub where the Wii will connect directly through it. As for myself, I've setup a wireless hub and my Wii connect through it to the internet without problem. You could get some inexpensive wireless hub on the net or at your local computer store.
