In our environment (Cisco WLC) I could never get Wii's on our wireless working anyway and recommended using a wired adapter so there were no clients that we ever reported to be effected by turning off lower data rates.
I never understood why I couldn't get Wii's to work on an unencrypted network, and yet in some other universities with similar environments so far as I know the admins report they work.
