Well, it should work, as long as the adapter lugs into the Wii's USB. Sometimes only the Nintendo adapters work, but you may be lucky.

You could use a Nintendo Wi-Fi dongle as well. There are other brands too but I'm using the Ninty one.

Just thought you ought to know your options. Most people will slate me for mentioning the Wi-Fi dongle and feel you're better off getting a router in the first place.
