Hey, guys. I plan on buying a new wireless router and am deciding between a single or dual band one.

 

My question is, can the Wii U connect to a 5 ghz band wireless network? Can anyone confirm this?  I have been searching through google for answers but haven't quite found any.

 

Thank you.

The Wii U is a/b/g/n if I'm not mistaken, so it will support 2.4+5.0 dual band.

If it's not too expensive an extra I don't see why not.

5jiggahertz will probably be more loved with n's successor.

 

Wii U uses n, but I'm not sure if it's mimo or whatever it's called where it uses both to make it full duplex.

I think the upad uses 5, but not sure and won't have anything to do with your router.

True, 802.11ac runs purely on 5GHz.  I believe it does support mimo, but remember for mimo to work every connected device on your wireless network must be running at wireless N.  If there is a device that is running at g it lowers the mode to g for the entire network.
