apple computers
how do u hook up the wii to the internet with a apple computer without buying a tons of stuff???
This is probably not going to help you since it was asked so long ago but here is an answer: It depends on how you connect to the internet. If the wii does not detect your wifi (like an apple airport or a netgear), then you would need to buy the usb dongle to connect with a LAN cable.
HOWEVER, you may not want to do that because all of the multiplayer stuff has been shutdown (Nintendo turned off the wii servers after the launch of the Wii U). As a result, the only thing that still works would be the store if you wanted to buy a downloadable game.
