The Wii also requires encryption to connect so you may find that it could help rather than hurt, in case they are not currently using any encryption.

And no, hackers can't go through your Wii onto your network.

Yes, anything is 'Possible'. If its connected, then there is a way. 2. Although it may be possible, the question to ask is how 'probable' is it. If you do the following, you should be OK. First. Your parents PC should already be using usernames and passwords to log on, if not I would do that first. Second. Your internet connection will need to have a secured router in place between the modem and the connecting devices... parents PC and your Wii. Now as long as your parents PC and the router use the security features available... you should not be worried about using the internet connection for your Wii. If you need to know how to make sure that their PC and the router are secure, you'll need to post more information about each one. Two Answers:
