Would a wii lan adapter stabilise buffering?

[mcgrete]

Subject says it all really, just wondering if my share which uses wireless n would benefit from having the wii utilise a lan connection instead of wifi

I installed a Wii LAN adapter hoping the same thing. Sadly the Wii LAN adapter does not work well at all with WiiMC (maybe I just got a bad one) but yea. It is slow as tar loading up and the directory listing for Samba gets garbled and only shows a handful.

Not sure if this has to do with the USB module WiiMC uses, but yea. I would save your money.

As far as buffering issues, if your router has QOS, set that up and give the Wii Priority, this should alleviate that.

rodries and I both have and use USB LAN, works great.

Do you have a link to the model that you are using? I would rather have a LAN adapter that works than use WiFi 😛
