Let's face it, the Wii is just too pretty for its own good. The thing is actually smaller than the Xbox 360's HD-DVD appendage and it's quiet and it's cute. And that just won't do. Not when you can add this bag-ass honking antenna to the thing to make sure it can pick up WiFi signals from space.

While the Informit article about hacking an external WiFi antenna to you Wii is informative, it seems a bit pointless to me. The Wii already has an embedded wireless network card with two built in antennas. My Wii is down in the lounge, which is half underground, while my WiFi hub is up on the second floor and I have no problems at all. I suppose this could help if you go camping with your Wii. Oh, and did I mention, the big antenna, it doesn't really boost reception. Worst. Hack. EVER! Brian Crecente
