This shouldn't be confused with [[netplay]], which forces games not designed for play over a LAN connection to be possible. This was an add-on that allowed GameCubes to connect to other GameCubes with [[Wikipedia:Modular connector|RJ45 cables]]. A router can extend connection capabilities. ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' only allowed LAN connectivity with up to eight GameCubes while ''Phantasy Star Online'' took it a step further to allow to connect to official game servers provided by SEGA, which is now offline forever. ''Kirby Air Ride'' and ''1080° Avalanche'' also support this adapter. This feature was unavailable in the [[Wii]]'s GameCube mode despite having 802.11 b/g connectivity built-in and a USB LAN adaptor released officially by Nintendo.  It is possible to hook up zero or more of each of these configurations on one networked game:*GCN with broadband adapter*Wii with [https://gbatemp.net/threads/330554 Devolution]*Dolphin with OpenVPN For example, one GCN, one Wii, and one computer running Dolphin will all sync up for a game that officially supports LAN, even if Dolphin runs slow for whatever reason. [[Dolphin]] seemingly has support for the Broadband Adapter. This shouldn't be confused with Just go to <code>config</code> and select the <code>GameCube</code> tab. A drop-down for <code>SP1</code> will have the <code>Broadband Adaptor</code> or <code>BBA</code>, depending on what version of Dolphin is running. The next steps vary by OS. ===Windows===*Go to [[netplay]https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html OpenVPN]. Scroll down to the ''TAP-Windows'' section of the download page. It will say you want OpenVPN instead, but the TAP option is the minimum setup. If you are running Dolphin on Windows XP or older, install ''NDIS 5''. If you are running Dolphin on Windows Vista or later, install ''NDIS 6''.*Open up Control Panel and click ''Network and Sharing Center''.*Click ''change adapter settings''.*Holding CTRL, which forces games not designed for play over select the TAP-Windows adapter and the adapter you use to connect to the internet.*Right-click and select ''bridge connections''. This will take a LAN connectionfew minutes to take effect. An additional icon will appear once completed, named ''Network Bridge''. Dolphin will change the TAP-Windows adapter status from <code>Network cable unplugged</code> to <code>Enabled, Bridged</code>, but only if the game supports the Broadband Adapter (usually on boot).
