I use my Wii with my laptop. All you do is set the internet connection on the Wii with the name of your router and security code. It should connect automatically. One thing to watch out for is WiConnect 24. If you leave this on, your Wii will check for updates every so often and your Wii may come on at weird hours. It usually isn't a problem unless you are asleep and the blue light on the front shines in your face or the whirring of the drive wakes you up. Some functions require WiConnect 24 be left on, though, so you have to decide whether you need those menu choices to be active at all times or not.
