Default Internet Adapters

Ok, so I really want to take advantage of the WFC that Brawl has to offer so I can participate in tourneys and battle my friends, but my wii won't connect reliably to the wireless internet that I am currently using on this laptop. I don't really know why it wont connect, but it comes in phases... sometimes it will connect (briefly) but most times it wont.

So I am curious what kind of internet adapters for wired internet are good to use with the wii? I know about the official wii product, but all that thing seems to be is a glorified USB cable network adapter. Is that the best thing to buy or is there a third party product that works just as well? I've been searching around and can't really seem to find anything definitive so I thought I'd ask for opinions here.

Or maybe someone could help me figure out why my wii wont wirelessly connect to a network my laptop can get an "excellent" signal from?

Thanks a bunch.

I've got an Intec one that works great, I think they're pretty much all identical anyway.

it's totally awesome, but sucks if you do it at the wrong angle and accidentally shoot yourself off the stage
