If they need all your incoming traffic they should probably have called it a "router" not a "switch".

  I'm sure "Nintendo Router" would be much more terrible product...

    Nintendo Firewall sounds good though.

    Among other problems, it would be pronounced differently in different countries...

  A joke that could really only happen here, I happily give my upvote.

  I am ashamed that this has never occurred to me and shocked that I have never heard it elsewhere. Brilliant. Apparently, the "Nintendo WiFi Network Adapter" was once a thing in Japan, and it did have a router mode. https://www.wired.com/2008/09/nintendo-announ-2/ https://www.wired.com/2008/09/nintendo-announ-2/ https://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1217892_1124.html https://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1217892_1124.html https://kotaku.com/nintendo-announces-wii-ds-wifi-router-bwah-5046565 https://kotaku.com/nintendo-announces-wii-ds-wifi-router-bwa...

    You can also use a USB Ethernet dongle with the Wii (that’s exactly my set up in fact). This obviously doesn’t help DS users though.

      They did sell a USB dongle that would take a PC's net connection and use that to make a WiFi access point for the DS or Wii.
