    I want wi-fi / which router?

    I have just bought a Nintendo wii and would like to be able to connect it to the net via wi-fi as my pc is upstais and my wii downstairs. My pc is connected via a cable modem (NTL) not my set top box.
    Any tips on wot router i should get for this as i aint used wireless before, and is it possible to connect my pc directly to the router via an ethernet cable while using the wii to optimise my pc connection?
    Iv also heard of the newer routers having a greater bandwidth.

    Mimo routers are very good if you can use a mimo one with the wii.

    Re: I want wi-fi / which router?

    what about this one Belkin F5D9230
    i use them in work and they are pretty simple to use/setup. You can expect some fairly reasonable speeds with them depending on what wifi card you are using the MiMo technology is not fully implemented yet however it will give better throughput and signal strength. so its handy if you've got some thick solid walls at home !! ....with the high speeds (upto 108Mbps) you may find that you'll be able to stream media files - that is if the wii has this ability.....
