Using the Nintendo Wii LAN Adapter on a PC
Using the Nintendo Wii LAN Adapter on a PC Recently My Ethernet LAN Network Card couldnt find the Drivers and wouldnt work; so, Im using my genuine Official Nintendo Wii LAN Adapter as my PCs Ethernet Network card. And Like all PC Hardware under Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX, and even Linux Distributions; They require Hardware Device Drivers. When you Plug an USB Device in to Windows Itll register in the "Windows Device Manager". When Device Manager Runs itll detect the LAN Adapter as "AX88772", It cant find the Driver Software so youll have to download an Installer Manually; Dont worry I already found it on the Manufacturers website, and will add a Link to the Web Site in this Post. And remember these drivers are only for Nintendos LAN Adapter for the Wii; the Wii U LAN Adapter may use different Hardware. And other Vendors like Datel for example will use different Hardware/Drivers. A used Nintendo Wii LAN adapter isnt expensive; Gamestop sells them for around $12 USD....
