sorry if this is a daft question , but is a Wireless LAN USB Adapter suitable and is this all i need , (no wires trailing about ? )
Also if this is ok , can i just un-plug it when not on the wii , as im a wireless worrier ,
many thanks

Why are you worried about wireless? As long has you have the security enabled then there is nothing to worry about!

The thing is with wireless that if somebody out there really wanted to access your PC they would be able to do it whether you have any form of encryption on it or not.

this is why i am worried

then if you dont want people to access your machine, then you shouldnt connect it to the internet! :-)

I think if you turn of your SSID and use some form of WPA then you will be fine.

I don't know why they can't just release cables straight away.
