The USB connector is a USB -> CAT5 converter which then plugs into a router or switch. You shouldn't have to plug it into a computer at all, just your HUB/Router.

Its the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. Originally for the DS but Wii compatible.

I've looked before but couldnt find much. One post says that it turns off with the computer so I think that it has to be connected to a computer with it's power on. Thanks for the help.

Yea, if that's the case, then the computer will have to be turned on for it to work all night.

Id put it where there's ventilation and plenty of cool air can get to it. If your able to get on the internet, it's probably not the wifi
