NIntendo wifi usb connector is not user-friendly - 5/10

Firstly, I suggest to anyone who ever considers buying one of these that they do some research on a wireless router if possible/feasible before resorting to using one of these.

The software in particular (it doesn't matter what version - be it 1.01 or 1.04 which is what it's up to at the time I am writing this) is extremely sensitive and is prone to installing/uninstalling incorrectly if instructions are not followed to the letter!

Half of the time symbols in the installation/uninstallation processes is made of unrecognizable characters and shows up as strings of ????????????? ???? ??????????

The software is only supported by Windows XP (32bit yes 64bit I'm not sure)

I feel that this was intended more for the NDS rather than the Wii as I have had problems using the usb connector with both, but have noticed other strange occurrences with the Wii. For example, my Wii's console name no longer shows up correctly in the software installed on my computer, instead there is now a row of squares (I have screen shots if anyone is interested).
