The Wii is capable of wireless access if the Verizon modem supports that. However, if not, she could purchase a switch, but it would be just as simple to head to a Best Buy or the web and purchase a Linksys router. Most all routers are now wireless and wired and can be purchased for generally under $50. I have a spare router here in the event my main router fails and it is a Linksys WRT54G. This router is also accessible as it uses a web interface for configuration etc. Although she may not be able to get this specific router, I am sure most Linksys will also offer a web interface and are good and my understanding is Netgear is another good router as well. She would connect the Verizon modem to the WAN port on the router and all computers etc. to the router either via the ethernet ports or wirelessly.
