Why does the New 3DS not have 5ghz and 802.11n wireless?It has 2.4 Ghz and 802.11b/g and that's it. No 5ghz and no 802.11n. What's up with that? 802.11ac exists now. new technology but still. And dual band 2.4 and 5 ghz with 802.11b/g/n is standard these days. Even the WiiU is 802.11b/g/n.
For the WiiU though the console is 2.4ghz and the gamepad is 5ghz.

Still why would Nintendo be so silly as to not have 802.11n on the New 3DS when that tech is old now and even surpassed by 802.11ac?
