How do I get internet connection to Nintendo Wii?

I do not know anything about gameing. This is my first gameing system since the original Nintendo. My question is...How do I get a "wireless router" internet? If I have my cable modem upstairs and the nintendo wii down stairs, what is my next step to be able to download games and take advantage of using the internet on Nintendo Wii? Thank you

    In order to set up a WiFi connection for your Wii, you'll need to set up a router that'll broadcast your internet signal throughout your house. You'll have to buy a wireless router and follow the instructions for it to set it up. Once it's set up, the Wii will automatically detect it and use it to connect to the internet (with a little bit of help from you).

    It's pretty easy, just be sure to follow all the instructions.

    1. get high speed internet service. check you local computer stores and see what's available for your area.

    2. buy a wireless router. since the Wii already has it built-in, the router is all you would need to get started.
