Anyway to fix the wiiu's god awful wifi?

i can not get this thing to connect to the internet for anything. I'v gone through and entered the ip and everything else manually as i saw it was the most popular fix but it just refuses to connect to the internet and not allowing me to play anything. this is pretty rediculous for a console to have this issue especially when all my other consoles, even my 3ds connect.

does anybody have any advice?

Use the Wired LAN adapter that was usable with the Wii to get a better Wired connection. nini200

This is precisely what I did and luckily I already owned one. I've no idea what the problem is as my PS3, 360, Vita, 3DS and PC have no issues whatsoever connecting via WiFi. The Wii U? Disappointing to say the least.

Not only will it work better, but your signal will be much more stable as well. Wifi is not the way to go for online consolesnini200

Try to manual input your IP address and all the other info for your router.Try to also open some of the ports on your router by port forwarding. I don't know which ports the WiiU needs.

Wireless is fine, just put your router on channel 1 or 11 to make the signal get there easier.

I think your wifi just sucks.

Mine works flawlessly...

I used WiFi with my Wii without any problems, replaced it with a Wii U and now there are problems all the time even though the settings are identical and the placement of both router and console have not been changed.
Ssome things work though so I'm unsure whether it's the WiiU itself or software related, for instance, I can't use the online shop or Miiverse, trying just results in error messages (a few different ones), but the browser works most of the time and NSMBU shows comments from other players.

So I guess I'm half online...

i had to call tech support to get mine to connect...

good luck.

Mine works perfect, but I have a rather great setup :D

I havent had a single problem with my Wifi, stuff works better on the Wii U then my pcs and they are wired!

I had no end of trouble getting the Wii U to connect to my wi-fi network. I finally called Nintendo Support (1-800-255-3700) and they got me set up. Still, it's super slow-- it took forever and a day to download the massive system update.

ok so update thanks to all your tips it connects to the internet i can browse the internet and miiverse is up and running i can post comments etc.

however now i cant play anything becuase the update wont complete. the timer will just go up from 40 seconds and give up around 5 minutes anyone had this issue?
