I'm pretty sure the Wii supports WPA/WPA2. :o

Oop, so they are, I guess I can finally stop broadcasting openly ;)

I have to use WEP for the Wii...

The wii supports WPA just fine, even WPA2... Only the old DS needs wep or less.

As a basic deterrent to leaching WEP and MAC filters are maybe enough... However the same tools that let you crack WEP will also let you sniff MAC addresses that you can then clone... Anyway the point being, it is not enough for business for example.

Fine for my neighbour in the trailer park though. I'd have used WPA if his stupid ps3 would work with it.

Oh yeah! Tonnica was using it to trade Pokeymans with her friend the other day... maybe that's what I was thinking.

From the sounds of it, it can only be used if you're already authenticated, so its more of a concern for service providers than home users.
