Guys...

My wi-fi network is WEP ASCII encrypted. Does Wii support this? Or just straight WEP?  I have no problem with Straight WEP since I live in the middle of nowhere, the only problem would be re-configuring all my other wi-fi devices.

According to Nintendo's Customer Service page, the DS supports WEP ASCII, so I'd imagine Wii does also.

Should I use HEX or ASCII when creating a key?
When entering a key, you have the choice of entering Hexadecimal or ASCII characters. Hexadecimal (HEX) is the easiest to use. You can either create a 10-digit (64-bit) or 26-digit (128-bit) key. We recommend the 10-digit. Consider using an easy-to-remember number.

Perhaps a bit cynical, but protecting your Wi-Fi connection with WEP is like hiding a spare key under your doormat.

Yeah, but given my closest neighbor is 3 miles away I went with an option that most devices support.

You know what option every device supports?  An open network.  Same difference anyway Nyaa
