Sorry for being a realist, but this will never happen.
Wireless HD tech just doesn't do wall penetration, it's meant for in room video sharing, and it does that very well. If you did have some kind of range expander, it still has to deal with wall penetration, at which point it's going to experience signal loss exactly the same extender or not. Yeah, Nintendo hasn't announced anything about the hardware configuration, but I'd say there's a incredibly good chance that they will just be implementing an existing technology, like WirelessHD (Intel WiDi). WiFi range extenders add latency to the signal Latency isn't a huge deal in normal networking, with gaming being a big exception. Plus WiFi is capable of wall penetration, you can;t draw parallels to unrelated tech just because it's wireless. |
