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

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.

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.

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

Ba dum tzz... sigh take my upvote.

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...
