A router question...

[redgroupclan]

Im planning on getting a Linksys WRT54GS2 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster Technology, as seen here.
It's a fathers day present, but I can also use it.
So Im wondering, will this work with my dads laptop computer, and my Wii?

Wireless routers should work with your Wii. just go into the settings and find the wireless network.

The only thing you'll need to do is have your WEP key (like a password) available for the Wii. Other than that it's pretty easy, and YouTube has some great tutorials if you need em, like the one below:

Router security isn't quite as big of a deal as people make it out to be, but it does keep people from using up your bandwidth. For instance, my parents have a 6mb cable connection, but they use the internet maybe once a day, so I left their security unlocked so that when my nephews bring their laptops, PSPs and etc without having to find the WEP key every time.

Thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Don't use WEP. Ever. WEP is bad voodoo. I can crack a WEP key in under 10 minutes if I boot into a live distro of linux. All I'd have to do then is packet sniff on the network to get information such as credit cards, social security numbers, etc. Use WPA2-Personal with AES.
