You can ring up Nintendo suport and get a Lan adaptor for $39 (?) with free shipping. Number is on the Nintendo Australia website. I was looking at getting one too.

Well, to answer the main question again, ring Nintendo to purchase the LAN adapter.

Has anyone here noticed how the price of the Wifi adapter went up $20 since the Wii came out? I bought one for my girlfriend about a couple of years ago for only $49.95. Now I can't find anywhere that sells it for under $69.95.

No, it's not the same. It's similar in design, but the one for the phone has a whole lot less cables. LAN is for computers, it's a thicker cable. If you have broadband hooked up to your PC or router, the cable linking it is a LAN cable. Not the USB cable, or phone cable.

It's not inside of the computer. You don't have to worry about that. You just have to make sure you do have a LAN connection in your computer. If your computer is fairly new, within the last 5 years, it will already have a LAN card built-in.

Well, I don't know too many details about this new Buffalo device, but you look on the back of your computer. If it's a newer computer, you look at the Side pannel, which is located in the middle of the case, to the left. The LAN ported is usually situated on top of 2 USB ports. It will be a Square shape input, with pins on one side, that are usually just visible.

That depends. I think from memory, Buffalo is a stand alone router. If this is so, you will not need the computer on to run Wifi on the DS/Wii.
