  How to connect a stubborn Wii U to wi-fi
  http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/19/how-to-connect-a-stubborn-wii-u-to-wi-fi

I am having trouble getting it online also. I just could not get it to connect to my wi-fi. So I plugged in a lan adaptor and I still could not get it to connect with that either. So I guess the wiiu is a offline system for me. And I had no trouble with the old wii and 3ds they worked fine, I think it's something about the wiiu.

Some people have found the wiiu does have issues with Motorola devices

My modem is a Motorola maybe thats what it is. Thanks for that info.

The thing that gets me the most is that my internet has always worked fine with the 3ds and wii, but it don't work with the wiiu. If I have no trouble with nintendo's other systems, then why the wiiu ?. What in the heck did nintendo do different this time to make this system not work.

Another thing is how can it not work wired, I thought for sure when I did it that way it would have to work.

Finally I got it working online, it was not easy.

Can you tell us how???

I'm no wiz when it comes to this stuff but I'll try to explain how I did it. I first just went to connect and auto did it, after it failed. I went to change settings, I then changed the last two numbers of my IP, I then put in my mask number the one my computer list, I then made the gateway my router number. after that I put in my DNS number's the one's my computer list. It then worked for me. I use a iMAC if your using a MAC you can fine these number's in your system preferences go to system preference and then network and then advanced and their all there. Sorry if this wasn't any help.

I just have given up......returned the wii u to amazon. We have 7 devices that have no problem with connecting to my home hub 3 but the wii u would not.

Tried all sorts of things but it would not connect, so bye bye nintendo!

Mine connects fine to my D-Link, I'm sorry I can't be helpful.

I share your pain, took me like 2 hours. Even the update download had to be restarted 2 times. Now I haven't been disconnected since.
