Topic: does wii do N wireless or just G

title

Hmm, if I recall, I don't think it supports N.

the Wii does b/g

Nope, but you can set your N router to support B/G as well (I think)

Um, but the next consoles could support it too

I think the N modem will give a stronger signal so wifi gamers may get some benefits.

The 360 added wirless N capability several months ago. I'm not sure about the PS3 (did you mean ps3 or ps2?)

N? What about L and M?

my issue is netflix speed,

To be honest, the speed between a G and N router is minuscule if you only have one or two devices connected to it

From what I can recall, the bandwidth on an "N" signal, when no obstacles are present, are much faster than "G". However, the "N" signal degrades more quickly in comparison to "G" when the signal must go through several obstacles. My 360 is hardwired for the fastest signal so I don't use wirless on it at all. However, I do use wireless on the Wii, Laptops, and several other devices in my household.

Additionally, many of the "affordable" N-routers only function as fast as the slowest device on the network. In other words, if every wireless device in your house is 802.11n, then you can take advantage of the fastest speeds. If you have 802.11n AND 802.11g devices then many routers either need to be set up as a "hybrid" network in which speeds are reduced in comparison to N-only networks. Some routers even force you to stay on an 802.11g-based network even if there is only ONE device on your network that utilizes that standard.

There's lots of stuff to consider: Routers are complicated.

That dropping to the lowest common denominator stuff was supposed to go out with G and even G wasn't supposed to do that in theory. I can believe that there are suppliers of rubbish kit doing it though...
