Hi all,
Finally got a wii this weekend, but updating over wifi takes ages - the system updates aren't too bad, but the channel update would take days (if i let it, too much Zelda to play for that).
My wireless setup is a bit crappy admittedly - I don't have a router, it's a PCI card running as a soft access point. I initially thought it was just a weak signal, but it's the same when the wii is right next to the antenna.
Does anyone else use soft AP's with a wii, and if so, have you noticed any speed problems? i'll probably get a proper wireless router anyway, but will this help? I don't want to spend the cash and find that it's the same as the soft AP.
Any advice appreciated,
Cheers

**EDIT** Nevermind, got a router anyway - the updates still take ages, but everything else seems ok now.
