Electronics : TeckNet PG-WI058 Nintendo Wii USB Fast Ethernet Network/LAN Adapter

Rating: - does what it says on the tin, but watch for p&p
I'm a bit funny about permanently having wi-fi switched on in our house. It's just another low level source of radiation and our cats love to sit on the router for warmth! anyway, i got this along with some homeplugs as i'm sick of the dodgy connection i get with wi-fi and, i must say, the connection is rock solid, worked first time (remember to set up a 'wire connection' in your wii settings) and i suspect online load times may be noticeably faster. This'll hopefully mean no more suddenly being booted off when i'm just about to win another mariokart race ;-)

anyway, this item loses two stars for the following reasons:

1) they charged me £4.50 p&p to stick it in a plastic envelope!! (you can't combine this p&p with anything else unless you're buying from the same store, this comes from 'Elektroworld').

2) it's obviously a very simple, cheaply made piece of kit that would probably cost under a fiver if it were for pc. Why do people ramp up prices for console owners? just look at the 'dedicated' wii sd cards...
