How you can Connect a Wii to the Internet By using a Laptop's Wi-Fi

Connecting a Wii to the Internet by using a wii cable is advantageous unless you have a wireless router. Since Wii will not contain a inbuilt Ethernet adapter, you can utilize its built-in wireless adapter instead to touch base to some laptop. This is possible employing an random (computer-to-computer) network once your laptop is associated with a wired Connection to the internet. That way can save you some cash because you will not have to buy a wired network adapter ( http://www.vdealbox.com/wii-accessories/wii-cable-adapter.html ) with the Wii or maybe a wireless router.
