Can Wii U connect to 5GHz?

The Wii U uses a cheap BCM4336 based wifi adapter for internet communications. It unfortunately does not provide 5.0GHz spectrum broadcasting, but provides maximum compatibility with pretty much any 2.4 GHz network. Being 2.4 GHz, this also means that it will not connect to 802.11ac, 802.11a, or 802.11n @ 5 GHz.

Is 5GHz 802.11 ac?

In fact 802.11ac uses the 5GHz band while 802.11n uses 5GHz and 2.4GHz. Higher bands are faster but lower bands travel further.

Does the Wii support 802.11 n?

The Wii console supports the 802.11g and 802.11b wireless formats (also labeled as "Up to 54Mbps" in some routers). If the router is using a 802.11n only ("Up to 300Mbps") mode, you will need to change this setting to allow the Wii to connect to your home network.

Can a 802.11 N connect to 802.11 ac?

Your 802.11n device will be able to connect to the 802.11ac AP, but only at 802.11n speeds. Wireless routers almost always default to a mode where they let each client connect at whatever speed that client is capable of. So your AC clients will connect at AC speeds, and your N clients will connect at N speeds, etc.

Does 802.11 AC support 2.4 and 5?

The 5 GHz frequency, which 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac use, provides five times the capacity of 2.4 GHz and is considerably less crowded, which means less interference. Wi-Fi products that support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are dual band, which means that they support both fre- quencies for backward compatibility.

What is 802.11 ac compatible with?

Although the 802.11ac standard is backwards compatible with all 802.11a/n clients, 802.11ac devices will operate exclusively on the 5 GHz frequency. NOTE: The 2.4 GHz band can support 802.11b/g/n devices.

What can 802.11 AC support?

802.11ac supports 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 80+80 MHz (non-continuous, non-overlapping), and 160 MHz, where 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz bandwidths are mandatory, and 80+80 MHz and 160 MHz bandwidths are optional.

Why is my 802.11 n so slow?

Most 802.11n products will knock your throughput down by up to 80% if you use WEP or WPA/TKIP security. The reason is that the 802.11n spec states that the high throughput rates (link rates above 54 Mbps) can't be enabled if either of those outdated security methods are used.

How can I boost my Wii Wi-Fi signal?

Upgrade to a hi-gain antenna, and/or add a wireless repeater. If your wireless network signal is weak, you can add a hi-gain antenna that focuses the signal into one direction. This allows you to aim the signal directly in the direction of the Wii. A wireless repeater extends the wireless range.
