WiiU Nintendo Network Router Ports. - Wii U Forum

I like to ensure for my console systems I've got the correct port forwarding rules set-up on my router. Just to help ensure a smooth connection. Where as Sony and Microsoft readily provide router port information Nintendo doesn't, the best I could find was tcp/udp 1-65535... and that was for the Wii. I emailed customer support asking for router port information and got the details for which router ports are used by WiiU's Nintendo Network and 1st party games. TCP: 80, 443, 6667, 12400, 28910, 29900, 29901, 29920 UDP: (Range) 1-65535 These rules should be as standard on most 3rd party WiiU games aswell, but as is the case on other platforms some games will also use additional ports aswell from time to time.

Because people do more on their network than just share a <10Mbps internet connection. If you get some network storage all of a sudden the difference between 30Mbps, 50Mbps, 100Mbps and 200Mbps matters. The problem is that some people think that the only solution to their problem is to pour money into better access points. Instead of repositioning the router, taking some of the load off the limited and shared wireless bandwidth or using a medium better suited to the intended application.

If you can do ethernet, do it. Do it for every device you can. It's a lot better than cramming a ton of devices down a single port.
