Topic: Problem with Wii U's Netflix Quaility

Hi everyone. Hopefully this is the right place to ask this. I know that some people have been experiencing a similar issue to mine, but I haven't yet found anything exactly like mine. So I figured I would give it a shot. You'll also have to excuse my poor choice of wording for some concepts I don't quite understand fully.
Very happy with my Wii U, but the Netflix quality is super subpar. I typically only get about 240/288p. I have managed to get 720p one time since getting the console in December. I have switched the DNS from the default to other options and the MTU from 1400 to 1492 to 1500. I have tried deleting and redownloading the app. I have used several different HDMI ports on my TV. I got a Wii LAN adaptor and used an ethernet cable and didn't get any results. I also turned the Firewall off on my U-verse router and that also didn't make any difference.

My Macbook Pro gets 14.1 Mbps in a recent speed test and the Wii U is getting 7.6 Mbps, which obviously is much slower but Netflix states that it only needs 7 Mbps for Super HD but I have never even really experienced 720p

I am very disappointed because I love the console but not being able to play Netflix in high quality reliably is upsetting to me.

Another thing, YouTube, Amazon, and Hulu play in very clear HD ://

Thanks again!

I find turning off anything else connected to my Router helps, could just be my internet speed but yea. Also I have the same problems with the other Video Streaming stuff, the fact you don't could be coincidence... I don't know lol

I think this problem has more to do with Netfix. I get better quality on the internet browser, now. The issue started when they updated movies to 1080p, for me.

My guess is that alot of people have 1080p HDTVs, so now they're sending 1080p to everyone, instead of 720p.

I dunno, used Netflix on my Wii U before and had near perfect quality. Could be internet or the connection.

It cuts in and out for me. Sometimes I get 1080p, but other times I get below 720p.

I know it's the Netflix app, because I've streamed 720p at 60FPS on the internet browser, and the Netflix app can't even do that.

EDIT: It might have to do with where I live. I live in a very populated area, and I know people are using Netflix, non-stop, so it's understandable that the Netflix servers aren't that good for 1080p, yet. I don't use it all that often, anyway.

My internet here is just weird in general, lol.

My netflix looks great but it's pretty laggy, so i just watch it on my PS3

Hm.. I agree with everyone saying that it has to be the Netflix app. I've run the necessary speed tests on my Wii U and my internet should be more than enough to get a beautiful Super HD picture. My Macbook and iPhone both also play in perfect clarity.
