The steam controller 1 already has wifi, its not the only controller that does this, the nvidia shield controller also does. The standard these and a very few other controllers use is called wifi direct, and basically uses an adhoc network to connect. This is seamless for the user.
Sure. Isn't that 2.4ghz though?
I think it's unlikely that it's a controller, but the days of 2.4ghz only are long gone. Sure you can still cheap out on it, but it's not that expensive anymore. I could see a controller using a chipset that had it.
