Wii and Wi-Fi
« on: September 21, 2006, 11:53:01 AM »
Has nintendo said yet what sort of wi-fi standards (particuarly encyption), wii will sport?

I know they haven't released specs - but nintendo aren't creating a market with wireless connectivity, so they have to say something about it.

I would assume at the very least the same as the DS.  (Which I think is WPA off the top of my head)  I don't see them doing anything more exotic because they would want you to be able to get on with your DS and Wii on the same network.   But in the end if it's security your looking for Hardwired is the best.

DS only uses WEP =( Hopefully Wii will support WPA...seriously.
