caption_attribution_description: The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, a device made by Buffalo that functions as a Wi-Fi hotspot for the Nintendo DS and Wii game consoles. Since the Wii and the DS had no wired internet capability, someone without a Wi-Fi router in their home could connect this to their PC to grant their systems access to the internet.
context_page_description: The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector is a wireless game adapter, developed jointly by Nintendo and Buffalo Technology, which allows Nintendo DSi and Wii users without a Wi-Fi connection or compatible Wi-Fi network to establish one via a broadband-connected PC. Inserted into the host PC's USB port, the connector functions with the Nintendo DS, Wii, and DSi, permitting the user to connect to the Internet to play Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection games and access various other online functionality. The product was the best selling Nintendo accessory to date, according to the official Nintendo site on 15 November 2007, but was discontinued in the same month until further notice. On September 8, 2008, Nintendo announced the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter, a 802.11g wireless router/bridge which serves a similar purpose.
