1. Do thease tend to get blocked like an x-box can as I wouldnt want that as I would want it to go online.
2. What extra equipment would I need to connect it to my wireless router.

Thanks in advance.

Well Xbox's don't get banned whether they are second hand or not unless they have been modified or have illegally downloaded games on them. Most second hand Xbox's work just fine. The Wii should be the same. In fact as far as I'm aware modified Wii's are even less likely to be a concern for Nintendo.

Regards the wireless the Wii has wi-fi built in so it should connect to your wireless router without any additional accessories.
