for the Wii and DS? I want to hook my Wii up to the internet but it is nowhere near a LAN line. So I am looking at the nintendo brand WiFi adapters. My nearest LAN point is one floor below the Wii though. Will the WiFi MAX penetrate through? Or am I better off using a cheap router?

I would say its probably around ten meters range. I have never actually checked and I also do not yet own and WiFi adaptor, so I cannot say the range for definate.

Because the WiFi Max is only a small dongle and draws power through USB, the range is going to be less than that of a dedicated router with antennas. I would suggest 15m give or take but place the unit as high as possible (it comes with, i believe, an extension cable so use that) to reduce any electrical interference. It'll also depend on the structure of your home, but this shouldn't have to negative an effect.

I would of thought it was probably ten meters or less, because thats what Bluetooth USB adaptors usually are. Still fithteen meters is good, it would be better if it was big enough to cover your whole house though. Actually I think fithteen meters would actually cover the whole house, lol.
