The Wii features 3 USB Host Controllers:
- 1x "EHCI" USB 2.0 controller, managing the 2 user-accessible ports on the back of the console.
- 2x "OHCI" USB 1.1 controllers, 1 managing the internal Broadcom 4318 Wi-Fi chipset, and the other handling when legacy devices are plugged into the 2 back ports.
