First you must have an internet service provider and it then depends on what equipment they have provided. An ethernet cable will connect to a modem or a router and go to the device for a wired connection. I used a Cat 6 ethernet cable and a router to split the signal from my first cable modem to a router and then from my PS3 and PC connected 2 more ethernet cables to the back of the router. Later Comcast sent a gateway modem and that already had WiFi and more than one spot to plug in the ethernet cables and I put my router away
The Wii U has a wireless adapter built-in that allows it to connect to a WiFi network and is the primary method of connecting to the Internet. The Wii U is also compatible with the Wii Ethernet Adapter if a wired connection is needed.

Yes and no. If you want to just directly connect the two pc's together a cross-over Ethernet cable can do this. Cross-over cables are used to connect 2 like devices. Doing this will most likely require you to disconnect from the internet, unless your computer has 2 NIC's (ethernet ports) If you want to connect both computers together AND still have internet access a hub, or switch, or router is needed. Thus creating your own LAN
A standard wireless router can only physically connect to four Ethernet enabled devices through the Ethernet ports. To extend a wireless home network, a bridge is needed. A bridge is a device that will connect devices such as gaming consoles and TVs to the existing wireless internet network that is enabled by a router. Additionally, a bridge will also extend the range of a home network, allowing for better reception to other computers and devices that are already connected to the network through wireless adapters.
yes it does i have one and trust me it work Strange that the PS3 network says that the USB ports can not be used to connect to the internet and that's how a cricket works. Wonder who got it wrong. Here's the quote: "Also the PlayStation 3 is unable to connect to the Internet through the USB port, it must be connected via an Ethernet cord or via Wi-Fi network. You will not be able to use a USB adaptor or a cell phone USB adaptor with the PlayStation 3." see related link
