I’ve just read that Nintendo are entering into the Wi-Fi router market. After realising that people with wired connections are stuffed when it comes to connecting to the web with their Wii’s and DS’s, Ninty have decided to produce a wireless router.
Styled in a manner similar to the Wii, the router will allow consoles to connect wirelessly to the net, as well as any other Wi-Fi enabled device. There’s no word as to any other features that may be built into the unit.
