Yes, indeed — a fun thing! 🙂 Apart from the setup problems; my Wii did not automatically connect with the wireless router I used (Philips SNB6500), and for a moment I was sure I’d need to buy another, Nintendo-supported router. But my trick was to copy the IP connection details (IP address, DSN addresses, router address) manually to the Wii Internet configuration panel. Now our Miis are online!
