Hello, I have a wireless network setup in my home. However, for the security, we are not using WEP, (it's like WPA or something, I don't recall the name of the security setting off the top of my head at the moment). Anyway, the DS Lite only uses WEP mode, so unfortunately I can't connect online with it, but that's not much of an issue since I don't really need to go online with the DS.

So, I'm wondering if the Wii is like the DS and only uses WEP or if it uses other security settings too? My 360 and PS3 connect just fine with any security setting. I really want to use the VC capabilities of the Wii, but if it won't work on my wireless setup I'll have to think hard before I actually go out and get a Wii. I'd just set my wireless network to WEP, except that for whatever reason the computers in my home aren't compatiblie with WEP so that isn't really an option.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yep, I do believe that the Wii supports WPA.
