it does support WPA2. it apparently does not fully support extra security methods appended to networks using WPA2. for the third and final time, I'm not saying it's not an issue or that Nintendo shouldn't look into it, i'm saying that the problem is not on Nintendo's side at the moment — they haven't lied (as StarDust suggested by c/p-ing manual text and bolding the relevant parts) when they printed in their manuals that the 3DS works with WPA2, because it does. it's the extra stuff the universities/big corporations are apparently using that is not (yet) supported.
Those are not add-on feature of WPA2, it is the standard called WPA2 Enterprise. The one without username required is called WPA2 Personal.
If Nintendo claims fully support WPA2, then it should support both. It's not about add-on or extra feature!
Btw, PS Vita doesn't support WPA2 Enterprise as well, though they promise to release an update soon.
Kind of frustrating to have my system off the campus wifi, but I guess it'll keep me focused. Still, this should be a feature. It's pretty standard on modern tech, and could easily be added in an update.
