How difficult is it to install a wireless router?

Question

I am not the brightest guy in the world when it comes to routers and stuff like that. But i was wondering how difficult is it to install a wireless router, namely Linksys 2.4 ghz Wireless Broadband Router
(model #BEFW11S4). I want to get my nintendo wii online and do not want to wait till the lan adapter comes out. Is there anything else i need to buy other that the router? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You are going to hate this, but depends. :(

You have a good home router so I would check online with Linksys.com for suggestions. Is the Wii wireless? I did not know that.

For the most part, with this wireless router, there is also the firewall portion of it. Sometimes, certain games need certain ports opened directly to it.

What I did with my xBox is create it as my DMZ server, which means EVERYTHING goes to and from it, with no restrictions.

Honestly, your info is a bit vague. need more info. :)

It's thankfully not too hard for the Linksys, because it comes with an easy install wizard and after you register you can get free telephone assistance if you have any problems.

I'm not too familiar with the Wii... Does it come with a built in wireless adapter? If it doesn't you will need to buy one.
