Wii compatible Routers index

[<mojo>]

I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of Wii compatible and non compatible routers .
To be used as a guide for users with problems and for people considering purchasing one .

So post up your router make and model and tell us if its good or not and i'll keep this list updated

Thanks

________________________________________________
Note : Incompatible routers can be subject to change due to the manufacturer updating the firmware .

Nintendo customer support
What to look for:
802.11G/ 802.11B (or mixed)
Most routers currently sold offer these settings. Check the box to make sure the router supports these broadcast standards. Routers that mention 802.11N or pre-N (as well MIMO) may not be compatible with the Wii.
WEP and WPA/WPA2 encryption
The Wii is compatible with WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption methods if you wish to enable wireless security on your router.
There are several different WPA variations. The Wii is compatible with:
WPA - PSK (TKIP)
WPA - PSK (AES)
WPA2 - PSK (AES)

Linksys WAG354G Wireless acess pont (ADSL2+ modem and 4 port, wireless b/g router in one).

Works brilliantly with Wii and DS, no problems at all. Initial setup can be a little daunting but Linksys support were fantastic. 5* recommended by myself.

I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 1223uk, f/w version 4.05.03, boot version 1.03.12.bk and have no problems with it using 2 l/tops, my wii and a PS2. The PS2 is now hard wired, but that is due to logistics, not incompatabilities; the PS2 used to be connected using a linksys printer/game adapter.
