What kind of router would I need for my Nintendo Wii?
I have looked at the list of routers through my cable provider (Cox) and found them to be too expensive ($150-$200) and I found a $40 router called Wifi Max that provides free WiFi to consoles and smartphones but I'm not sure if I can use it as it requires computer plug in and my desktop is upstairs while the Wii is attached to the living room TV (moving the Wii upstairs or the computer downstairs is impossible).
I was wondering if I could use the Wifi Max; plug it in to my desktop and still get a wifi signal for my Wii or bite the bullet and save money for a router. I really want to play Ocarina of Time on my Wii as well as other classic N64 games but I have no internet connection to my Wii.
Any suggestions?

How does Cox deliver internet to your home? Do you just get a cable modem with Ethernet coming out that plugs into a computer?
If so, you can pick up any cheap wireless router and put it between your computer and the cable modem, then the Wii will be able to pick up the wireless signal from your router to access the internet.
Here's a link to a router that costs $25 that would do the job: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VJL0OS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=vgtr06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002VJL0OS
If you networking set up from Cox is different than that, you'll have to be more specific as to how your network is set up.
