By wireless Internet I just mean you're existing Internet connection being transmitted wirlessly around your house (802.11g is preferred). You don't have to subscribe to a wireless internet provider (which wouldn't work anyways!) =)Originally Posted by Dyluck
So basically If i don't have wireless internet I just buy the WiFi USB connector, and connect it to my modem or what? Or am I screwed If i don't have wireless internet?(i have cable internet)
So basically you have 1 of 2 options:
1. Purchase a wireless router like a Linksys. You plug your cable line into your cable modem like usual, then take the network cable from the cable modem into the wireless router, then you'd come out of the router with network cable into the back of your computer. Install any software, and you're done! You're now using your existing Internet, and always transmitting it wirelessly. Make sure you use some kind of encryption when asked to in the software installation, because your neighbors can access your Internet for free if you don't. You'd be paying roughly $100.00+ for a decent router + network cable in this case.
2. The second (and easiest) option is the Nintendo USB Wireless connector. I'm sure Nintendo had younger kids in mind when it came to this product. Basically... if you have broadband Internet, you simply stick this USB device into any available USB slot (it looks like a USB keychain harddrive... very small). Once you install (if there is anything to install) it simply transmit your signal like the router would. This again is easier, but I'm not sure how quality the USB device is, or if it lags in the speed department. It shouldn't, but who knows! The Nintendo wireless USB device is only $39.99 - I'd recommend at least getting this if you plan on playing FFIII. Without Mognet, you really have little to no access to sidequests, and the best items/weapons.
