11mbps is the maximum data rate. Due to overheads on the CSMA/CA protocol the maximum data rate for TCP is around 6mbps and 7mbps on UDP.

True, but even then it won't affect your gaming experience(ie ping times), and it won't likely affect downloading Nintendo content to the wii either, as I doubt Nintendo pushes out content that fast.

Websites generally load just at fast at 2mb as they do at 10mb, it's mainly downloading large files that benefit from increased bandwidth. So if you were downloading a big file and you have 10mb cable, it would affect it. or if you copy a file from one PC on your network to the wii, or vise vera.

well im suprised nobody has said this(from what i have read, but try changing the channel on your router(default is 6) change to 1 or 11, this is what fixed my problem

Same here, ch6 was the default on my d-link router and the Wii couldn't connect with the same error. After changing it to ch11, it worked like a charm. Since everyone's default ch is 6, there could be a lot of interference depending on how many people have wireless in your area.

Not sure how that links in with my post. domkstaa was saying AP's tout themselves as 11mbps but thinks they are more like 6mbps. I was just pointing out he is correct and the cause of it.

Yep, that worked for me too. It took about 5 minutes of research and 30 seconds of router configuration to get my Wii to connect to the internet.

Oh,

And my router is in "G" mode only right now, and has zero connectivity issues.
