Best Answer

If you bought the ethernet adapter for the Wii, then you can connect your Wii directly to your cable modem like any computer. On some ISPs, you may have to register the console's hardware (MAC) address ahead of time so that it can access the internet.

Without the ethernet adapter. The Wii cannot be connected directly to a modem. A wireless router would need to be set up.
