Okay, so I'm on a dial up connection and I've got a Wii and a DS. Thing that sucks is that I can't use the Nintendo Wi-fi connection because I have a wired dial up connection. I'm wondering if it's possible to connect to the Wi-fi connection using the Buffalo Gaming Access Point and connecting it to a wireless router. Do I actually need an active internet connection for this to work? |

If you play online with a dial-up connection you should be shot. You'd be able to connect but you'll lag everyone else out of the game and everyone will hate you. |

Not possible. If you live in the US, your better off getting DSL anyway as in most cases its cheaper and faster than dial-up. |

Btw, from what I've heard, Buffalo's Wireless-G products cannot be sold; copyright infringement stuff. Anyway, making a dial-up connection is useless; and near impossible to do (you can't fit a phone line into an ethernet port). |

I don't think that would be possible, and if it is, it would make the connection lag a lot. That would personally irritate me, and probably others too. I don't know how it works up there, but it seems like DSL is really cheap, so you would be better getting that and a wireless router. I have wired bandwidth connection (500k), and I'm getting a wireless router next week, so I can use wi-fi on my DS
