> actually needs an off-color wireless nunchuck...

At 6'2" with roughly equal fingertip to fingertip reach, I could use a wireless nunchuck.

BTW - did you know the Wii connects to the internet even when "off" and transfers sufficient information one way or the other - or both - that it can congest the local network and stop streaming feeds dead in their tracks?

And does it every day?

What data IS being passed? To whom!?

It TELLS YOU in the instructions that "orange" is WiiConnect24 and that red is off. So no, it doesn't send anything when it's off.]]>Dec 17th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/
I have an internet radio station playing on a PC that actually drops off the air when the Wii automatically connects and starts its daily transfer - must be one heck of a lot of data - and it certainly isn't a daily INCOMING update.

[btw - I "powerdown" the Wii with a remote, not the console's power button - never get that red light that way]

Then are you either incredibly stupid or this doesn't bother you nearly as much as you let on....

Come to think of it, the two are not really mutually exclusive are they?]]>Dec 17th 2008 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/

No....no one else in the world gets it. Only you do.]]>Dec 17th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/
Umm... you have to go into the console settings and turn off WiiConnect 24. And you have something wrong with your network if WiiConnect 24 is killing your internet radio station (or you're on dial-up).]]>Dec 17th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/Dec 17th 2008 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/
However, your post reminds me that I need to unplug the Wii as a final test. The coincidence of the router log entries across many days suggest the Wii (Wii connects to internet, 30-ish seconds later streaming radio discos and attempts reconnect, only once per day though the Wii accesses the Internet multiple times per day.

BTW - it is not on a 15 minute repeat - I have entries in my router log this afternoon showing the Wii going "out there" at: 16:57:34 16:55:35 16:53:34 16:51:34 16:49:34 etc etc etc.]]>Dec 17th 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/nintendo-nyko-settle-lawsuit-over-wireless-nunchuks-nyko-agree/
