[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 286278, member: 20564"] well, setting up Airport express was simple enough. I've got broadband, so all I needed to do was simply connect the ethernet cable to the airport, and turn the modem on. No additional setup was needed. I first tested the network on my macbook, and it worked perfectly first time. Next I went into the Wii connection settings, and set it to autmomatically configure the connection. The Wii recognised the network and connected in a matter of seconds. I'm able to access the Virtual Console shop channel, but not the weather or news channels yet - they're not available where I am yet. I was pretty unsure whether it would work or not at first too, considering the Nintendo Wifi USB thing doesn't work for mac. But after reading another topic here where people were saying that there's no difference between mac and PC wireless routers. In the end I went for the Airport since I knew it would work for more than just the Wii - also for mac simplicity and reliability. Do you have the Airport, or are you looking to get one? [/QUOTE]
