Wii wireless (WEP / WPA) information

As ive had a couple people ask...

WEP and WPA/WPA2
WEP and WPA/WPA2 are types of security that are used to protect home wireless networks, and both are compatible with the Wii console (except where described below). WEP and WPA/WPA2 are turned on and off through your wireless router's setup utlity. If WEP or WPA are currently activated on your wireless router, you must enter the WEP and WPA/WPA2 keys into the connection settings of the Wii console.

Where to find your WEP and WPA settings:
You can typically find the WEP Key settings for your router under the "Wireless" or "Wireless Security" sections in your router settings on your PC. You may also want to consult your wireless router's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

Additional Notes About WEP:
* Most routers have multiple (typically four) WEP key slots. The Wii is only compatible with the WEP Key in the #1 slot. Having any other slot as the active WEP Key will likely not work with WEP.
* Some routers allow you to enter a Passphrase. This is then converted to a WEP Key number. When you are entering a WEP Key into the Wii console, the actual WEP Key is required. The Passphrase will not work.

Additional Notes About WPA/WPA2 encryption
* There are several different WPA variations. The Wii is compatible with:
o WPA - PSK (TKIP)
o WPA - PSK (AES)
o WPA2 - PSK (AES)

just get rid of the wep key for now, or reset it to something simple (like your phone number)
