Connecting Wii to wired network

[Paul -C-]

What's the best way to connect my Wii to my wired network?

I know I could get a wireless router, but that seems the most expensive option.
I also saw Nintendo do a USB dongle which lets my main computer act as a wireless hotspot. Does this work ok? Would my laptop be able to connect through this as well?

Cheers!

wireless routers are what, £25-30 for a decent 2nd hand one. Probably your cheapest option to be honest, and also the most versatile.

if your current router has a spare RJ45 port i guess you could just plug a wireless access point into that, that's what I used to have.
