Anybody bought a Wii?

The inability of the Wii to connect through wireless routers is a reported issue although i'm not sure if it is all wireless routers in general, only certain routers, or only certain production numbers of the Wii that are affected. keep an eye on the usual sources as i'm sure more info about this will roll out over the next week. Nintendo may have to ship firmware disks out to game stores etc. Their original plan was to do so with many of the launch systems but they were able to get a great majority of the early production units updated with the newest firmware for launch.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if it's down to incompatability with routers. I know it's the case with DS wi-fi (Though in my case I use the Nintendo Wi Fi dongle, sometimes tempremental, but that usually has something to do with the bizarre software rot of the drivers and connection software that forces a fairly painless reinstall (would be completely painless if I had the sense of downloading the latest software and keeping it somewhere safe).

Incidentally, it appears that the Wii will be able to connect to the Internet using the DS Wi Fi connector. Pretty useful information for those of us who don't even own a wired router and prefer to connect our PCs directly into the phone line.
