Just got a Wii and was wondering how the hell do you get the light around the CD slot to stay on?
It is and never will be connected to the net.

You can't really.
You can receive a message and the Wii will light up but you can't get it to remain on.

How come you won't be going on the net with it?

I don't have a wireless router and I'm a Scottish tight wad that won't part the cash for one.

If however I decide to buy a router would this slow my 10mb BB down?
If this is the case could I buy a splitter so that the BB wire would go straight to my Modem and another wire to the router, this meaning the PC connection doesn't use the router?

why the pc connection will still use a wire any way through the router, you will not notice one bit of slow down on the pc at all.

Would this do the job?
CLICK
So just to clarify as I'm a noob to this lark. The BB wire would go into the Router, then the modem, then to PC so its looping through the router?
and the Wii will detect the connection from the router?

the boradband wire goes into the router, then a cable comes from the router into the pc.
the wii then picks up the wireless signal being sent easy peasy.

no if you are on an adsl connection (broadband through the telephone line) there is no seperate modem the broadband cable goes straight into the router which is also a modem then 1 wire comes out of that into the pc and thats it.
router has a built in modem.
and yes that one will work if your are on adsl broadband.

r if thats the case and your internet comes through cable you need...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-WGR614-Wireless-Cable-Router/dp/B00008SCFL/ref=pd_bbs_2/202-3826619-2759036?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1190930078&sr=8-2
that will work fine, the cable from your exsiting modem goes straight into the router and then a cable from the router goes into the pc.
