You can get online 3 different ways.
1. If you have a Wi-Fi network, then you can just set up the Wii for Wi-Fi connection.
2. If you don't have a Wi-Fi network, then you can use the USB Wi-Fi adapter which plugs into your PC and turns your PC into an access point, which you Wii can connect to.
3. If you don't have a Wi-Fi network, you can get the LAN adapter which turns your Wii into a wired connection. Just plug the LAN into the Wii and then connect the ethernet cable from the LAN adapter to your cable modem/router.
It's uses Opera for the browser. It'll cost you 5 bucks. I personally don't use it for internet access so I won't know what you can do on it. Why use it when you have a PC. It's must easier to type in the URL than it is to use the Wii-mote to point in the URL. I think the internet is like any other internet, except you can probably do less things than you can on a PC internet.

you can get wireless internet and go online or buy the wii lan adapter and do it wired or buy the wi-fi cable so if you dont have wireless internet buy the wi-fi or lan adapter and go online the wii manuel and internet setting on the wii when you get it explains eveything. the check mii out channel is out so make sure to download it.

First thing is you need to have a internet provider. Should be high speed internet.
Then you can choose from wireless or wired.
wired connection : http://i16.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/cc/18/db5d_1_b.JPG
wireless connection you need a router. If you do not have a router you can buy one here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=router&x=0&y=0
almost any router works. If you use a router, then you need to add the Wep Key for your router or a code that your router has so it knows that you are allowed to connect to it. add that code to your Wii.
after all that you should be up and way.

it requires WIFI (Wireless router or a wireless access point) or buying the USB ethernet cord. You need DSL or Cable internet i think.. its really easy to get online with it to but its basically like internet on your tv

it comes with wireless internet that you can use if you have a wireless modem, but you can buy a LAN adapter that allows you to use a wired connection, and no it doesn't cost any money

All it requires is a local wireless network like a laptop would.
