 Wi-Fi help... Okay, I decided the other day to hook my Wii and DS onto Wi-Fi using the USB Connector I got at Circuit City. It didn't work. So then I decided to get a wireless router and I was wondering some things about them. Just a note, I am going to get the D-Link WBR-1310. But I want to know some stuff . When you plug the router in do you have to set anything up or will it automatically be able to use Wi-Fi? Do you have to set anything up on your DS and Wii? And are there any better Wi-Fi routers between the prices of $20-$60?

Chances are the port the Wii uses to communicate with the Internets is closed.

Come to think of it, I've never heard of a wireless brand that's supposed to be "good".
