Anyone using a WiFi USB adapter

[earwig999]

in their PC to connect the Wii to the internet?

I have my home network set-up really well, however it's wired. I have my Apple Mac, Xbox, eMac and Xbox 360 all currently running through ethernet in a switch. I have a bluetooth adapter in the Mac downstairs and that works well, do you think a WiFi USB adapter would do the job or would I need to get a wireless set-up?

Using my Linksys wireless router which is upstairs in my room and the Wii is downstairs in living room. Works very well. You could always get a wireless access point to connect to your exsisting wired network.

Whats one of them, I also looked at the USB dongle but they don't look Mac compatible?

A wireless access point is something you can connect to your wired router or switch using a ethernet cable, then that acts as your wireless connection.

Would I just plug the USB WiFi adapter into my Mac and the Mac into the wired switch as normal?
