And if you are really serious about Ethernet you already own a dongle... jeez, it's $15. Don't make a huge fuzz about it. You always need to buy "something" to get the max out of your console.

What kind of performance does that 15$ dongle offer? USB adds some latency and I really doubt that it can handle a decent internet connection.

It's a 10/100Mb connection, the Wii U can probably cap that one out if it works, you are only talking about 12.5MB/s here, the ping time would be about the same as any gigabit network since it's on a hardline, and most ISP in the US don't even go over 3MB/s yet
