I can't remember the error number off the top of my head, but it detects the router, but it won't access it. Support managed to get it access the router by manually entering the IP, DNS, etc., but even then it still wouldn't connect to the internet even with all my firewalls and security passwords down.

It's happening to my Wii too. I can get onto Netflix with no issue, but whenever I try to go to the Shop Channel to get my old downloaded games it tells me to get a system update, but it's never able to read the system update. Anyway I'm feeling fucking defeated. Oh well, karma for me. I knew I shouldn't buy it and I kept it anyway.

You may have to go to your Router's Firewall Settings and open Ports that the Wii may be trying to access.

Are you using WEP or WPA2 Security?

...and who's your Service Provider?

Have you updated your Router's Firmware lately?

How many devices are accessing it? How many can it handle?

You can also try changing your DNS Settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Oh jeez we went through a lot of these questions already and already tried that change to the DNS. I'll give it another shot tomorrow when I'm feeling fresh. I suppose I do have Nintendo Land to keep me busy in the meantime (it's no Wii Sports).

I have two wii us! So which do I keep?

Make sure to give us impressions...

...after the 20 minute set up...

...the hour update for the console...

...the 25 minute update for NintendoLand...

...and the 25 minute update for New Super Mario Wii U!

...You know what? I'll just read them tomorrow.

Is it true the black Wii U is bigger? Or is that just a rumor?

You're confusing the Wii U for my penis.... which is bigger.... and black.

If your Wii U won't connect to your Router:

1. Go into connection types, Hit "Manual Configuration"

2. Input your SSID

3. Input the correct security type, this is key.

4. Put your password in properly

5. For ip address "Do not auto obtain".

6. open up cmd in your computer, type in ipconfig

7. Now input that ip address but add 10 to the last number so "192.168.0.1" will be entered as "192.168.0.11"

8. Enter the rest of your info inside such as subnet mask and default gateway exactly as you see it in your ipconfig.

9. Now hit next, hit configure now for your DNS. When asked about DNS hit "Dont auto obtain".

10. For the first server put in 8.8.8.8

11. For the second server put in 8.8.4.4

12. Hit Next, when asked about a proxy hit no proxy

13. Leave mtu as the default

14. it should work, if not check the ip and that it is the internet ip + 10.

You enter it on the Wii U but get the info from your computer.

Hey! Did you know you can book airline tickets thru the Wii U?!

Orlando, here I come!

Thanks leo I saved that info in case I need it !

Did it work?

I think it did. I'm running the system update now. It died/crashed on me once, so I had to restart it, but it seems to have picked up where it left off.
