I want to get my Wii online to download Vc games. was thinking of getting the Nintendo Wii Wifi USB Adapter as it seems like the cheapest way, what I want to know is it worth it?

I'd actually suggest getting a cheap wireless router. It costs the same as the USB adapter, but can be used with for so much more. Although I seem to have a problem with mine. My Wii connects fine, but my DS gets kicked off the network everytime it tries to connect and I don't know how to fix it. So I'm actually considering buy a WiFi adapter too, just for my DS.

It's best to get the USB adapter, the other routers usually screw you over somehow. That is, unless you are using it for other things besides Nintendo stuff.

It's all down to luck I suppose. My router- a ZyXEL Prestige 600 series- works just dandy for every piece of wireless kit in this house and the neighbours

The only thing that stopped me from going with the USB device was availability. I have only seen two in my entire life!

Well worth getting. See you online!
