Are USB Wifi Wireless Connector and Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector

Question

are they the same

Answer 1

Yes and no.

They would both connect their respective things to the internet but would contain different chipsets (different boards inside) and require their own special drivers (software) to work properly.

Answer 2

Yes, they are pretty much the same, but the nintendo one will require that you download the Nintendo drivers from here:

The Wii will work fine with any standard Wifi adapter sold in any computer or electronics store. And if your PC already has built-in wireless, the Wii will work fine with it.   I've noticed that Nintendo has actually stopped selling their own USB adapter - maybe because people realized that any standard adapter works fine.

Good luck,
