so i was reading thru my manual about my router and it says i can connect wireless devices to my router like type them in on my computer? would that help anything because ive never done that but when my wii connects to the wireless internet and the computer upstairs connects to it it already shows on my attached devices and everything so i dont get what the difference is?
