Rating: - worked as intended
kinda sucks that you need to download info from the cd on your computer to be able to use the wifi connector, so you can't really take it anywhere. i was hoping to use this at work, since our wifi sucks...but since i can't put anything on my work computers, thats a no go. but at home it worked just fine after putting the cd in.
Rating: - ***Does NOT work with Vista***
I was given one of these as a gift last year, and had a wonderful year playing Animal CrossingWW with friends around the world....until my husband gave me a new computer for our 18th wedding aniversary. Then my little world, with all my friends, disappeared, because it can't be set up to work with Vista and Norton. I have spoken with Nintendo, Gateway, and others about this, and everyone agrees that its a lost cause, and to switch to a wireless router.
This gadget is fantastic, so long as you are playing Win XP. If that is your OS, then go for it, and have fun! But it is not supported by Nintendo, despite their having an 'upgrade' available for Vista users, and they admit its of little help, and tell you go get a wireless router. They no longer make these, and told me they will not be supporting them much longer, because it poses some kind of security risk to users. *sigh*
it was too good to be true...
Rating: - If you have Wi-Fi you don't need it...
You only need this thing if you do not have wi-fi in your house. This device plugs into a PC with a wired internet connection and then the Wii talks, via wireless signal, to this thing, and in turn uses that PC's internet connection. Naturally, the PC needs to be on for it to work.
Rating: - Horrible!!
I brought this item over a year ago and we still can't get it to work. Nintendo has been of little help. I have disabled the firewall and removed all antivirus software but it still doesn't work. It was a waste of my $30. I'd save your money until nintendo improves on the model that they have.
