Does the Wii have WEP or WPA?

pcsoon · 11-22-2006, 10:17 AM

I haven't received my Wii yet. Due in from costco on 27 Nov. Does anyone know if the Wii is WEP only like the DS? My home network is set up for WPA and I don't want downgrade the security. If it is WEP any other options? Maybe the USB WiFi adapter for the ds?

The wii can use WEP, WPA, and WPA2. The problem most people seem to run into is if their network is set to use g-only. Currently you need to have it set to b-only or mixed.

I'm glad they moved to the newer security. I'll set my network to mixed.
Thanks for the info and tip.
