• Nintendo's WiFi USB Connector + iPod Touch
    13 replies, posted
I recently found my Wii's WiFi USB Connector. It gets my connection and adapts it to WiFI for my Wii. Can I do the same for iPod Touch? Thanks.
as far as I know, no.
I don't see why not.
It's possible to turn the Wifi Connector into a normal Wifi adapter, then you can set it up into an access point. It's a pain in the ass to do, and is a complicated process, but then you can connect anything to it.

Just plug it in, and you're online. I use mine all the time with Mint 8.
Tip with Wii's and apple devices: Never. Ever. Try to charge your Apple device with the wii or it will short sericate ethior your device or the cord. trust me the last person who did that to me had to pay for my shit.

It took me a long time to figure out what he said.
I plugged my iPod Touch into my Wii, and it just kept making the sound as if someone was constantly plugging and unplugging it in and out of the USB port.
Sigh, guess I got buy a WiFi adapter or something something.
It worked fine for me but why would you charge it on a Wii? Oh yeah it will only charge your iPod.

It starts up a little program that adapts my connection to wifi 3. Wii recognizes it as a WiFi connection 4. Mah iPod uses that connection (is that possible, thats what I'm asking) 5. Profit! Just explaining, I didn't get what you were trying to say.

It had nothing to do with the Wii, it was a random occurrence.

I think there are some ways around it, but you're better off buying a wireless router.
I think so. It is made by buffalo. I am not sure the exact model number but with a bit of googling you should be able to find drivers for it.
