 NOT MAC COMPATABLE ?!?!?! May 2, 2007
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I recently purchased a game for my DS and found that I could play it online with Nintendo Wi-Fi, and since I had also installed high-speed internet several days before I thought,
"Hey! I think I'll try it out!"
However, after reading the manual I found that I needed a wireless router, which I do not own. I did some research on the website and discovered that
"Oh! it's no big deal! I can buy a wireless connector for my USB port!"
So okay, I look it up on Amazon. BUT NOOOOOOO! I CAN'T USE IT! Now I'm sure that Wi-Fi play with the DS is great, and I would love to use it, but alas, the connector is
NOT MAC COMPATIBLE!!!!!
That, my friends, is total and complete crap. Nintendo has to have some kinda' deal with Microsoft because it's not like there is any deficiency in Mac computers that would prevent them from manufacturing it for Macs as well as PCs.
GRRR!!
Even so it sounds like a good piece of equipment, and I would buy it.
(*sighs*) IF ONLY IT WAS FOR MAC!!!!!
 Not ideal for the Wii March 1, 2007

I am able to get online with the Wii using this device, but it is very touchy. My connection comes and goes seemingly at will. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I would not recommend this product if you're using the Wii and not the DS. And yes I have disabled the firewall and my regular internet connection works beautifully so that is not the problem.
Does not work with Zone Alarm February 11, 2007

The program itself is quite a disapointment. It's interface was so simplistic you couldn't do anything but "allow" or "stop" access.
I spent an hour working on this until I found on the Nintendo WiFi site the following:
Software Firewalls Identified as Being "Incompatible" with the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
We have identified the following software firewall(s) as being incompatible with the use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. We suggest using another firewall product, if possible:
Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite
Important Note: In order to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, Zone Alarm Internet Security Suit must be completely uninstalled from your computer. Simply disabling (turning off) this program will still not allow a successful connection.
------
How can this thing not work with the industry's most popular software firewall is beyond me.
Unless I can find a 3rd party adapter that like Zone Alarm, it looks like I'm going to have to build a wireless network.

The USB adapter is very easy to install if you have the service provider that works with it and a computer with the recommended minimual specs. However to make it work with the wii disregard the install cd-rom and go to the [...] website to get the latest driver version.
Also the USB adapter doesn't work with some isps such as AOL so call your internet service provider and Nintendo before buying it.
Nor does the USB wifi adapter work with MACS.
 Works great with Nintendo Wii January 11, 2007

I bought this USB to use it with my Wii.
It's great. Very user friendly. In less than five minutes, I already got my Wii Online despite of not having a wireless router.
As some people mentioned before, it's a little bit overpriced, but since Wii release this item is on very high demand.
