tried it just editing the connection but it didn't work.
- i've rebooted the wii u, got into system settings, deleted the connection
- created a new connection manually
no result
this is also a pain in the ass because my wi-fi password is a sentence of 49 characters with spaces and commas...
If you buy online, most games are £38-ish, not far off what new ps3/360 titles are. And bear in mind a new console launch usually firms up prices which soften over the course of a generation. Ignore retail, and ignore digital prices because PSN/XBL are the same where publishers set prices.
First impressions are pretty good of this thing, for me. I was pleasently surprised by how little I was annoyed by the OS speed. After the US launch I actually considered skipping the UK launch because I'm pretty sensitive to sluggish, crappy OS waiting times, but very little about the Wii U OS caused me any frustration. It's kind of strange that the slowest application on the system is settings, but it's not like I intend on diving into my settings much anyway now I've got going. Miiverse etc were all perfectly fine, speed wise.
Infact, Miiverse in general is fantastic. Really fun to follow and see what people are up to and talking about. I've barely actually played any games yet but suspect Miiverse will come into it's own even more once you do start.
Also, the GamePad is fantastic. Nintendo seem to have a habit of making controllers that look bizare but end up being incredibly comfortable and functional. This thing is massive but personally that's a plus for me. There's something about the GamePad's size that speaks to the part of my brain that loves how far apart my hands are for keyboard and mouse, and while the GamePad isn't that wide, I definitely like the size vs something like a 360 or PS3 pad.

When adding to Wii U, have you tried changing the 31 at the end of your IP to different numbers within your IP's range? It took me a few attempts until I found one that worked.
Find the DNS settings for your ISP and use those in the setup instead of googles.
(We are at the 'throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks' phase now )
i'll just pick random numbers? XD
ok, i'll try it again once more...
i even called nintendo customer care, and of course it was useless, they told me to send them an email with all the details, but i won't get an answer before monday
ps: new error code 103-2003
Weird. Does it connect when you turn off all the security on the router?

My front end of the console (wara wara) just has lots of system icons with Mii's running around. How do you get it to show human players and game icons?
honestly i wouldn't want to try that, also because it cannot be a permanent solution.
anyhow i tried again with my ISP DNS, and nothing.
if i want to follow Mistle advise and trying keep changing my IP address do i have every time to reboot the wii u or can i just change the configuration and try again?

Mine didn't yesterday, it was totally fucked. It's OK now though but I just followe the guide to the dot and it worked for me. So weird. The annoying thing is I hooked up my PS3 to the router last night (new house, new router, just unpacked) and it connected first time, just like my iOS devices, Kindle etc.
It wouldn't be permanent of course but you can at least check if the WiiU will connect at all.
Got mine yesterday and I really like the design.
Nintendo is right when they say you have ti try it to understand it fully. ZombiU, NintendoLand all make great use of the GamePad. The OS is much improved since the Wii and I can imagine using this daily if some more interesting apps become available. I like how you can switch between the Wii Remote and GamePad for controlling the OS. Have to dive into Miiverse further but it looks fun so far.
The GamePad is very accurate with motion control. You can really feel that it is a huge improvement over the Wii Remote Plus. I had no trouble with any of the motion controlled segments in games.
Played with some friends. Nintendo Land will be a huge hit! It really does function like Wii Sports and will spread the word quickly.

No, it is currently unavailable in Germany (or Europe) it seems.

Try it, for your sanity alone!
new approach:
12 meters ethernet cable, connected to my macbook pro
my macbook pro creates a new wireless network without password acting as a bridge,
i download the console update, and after that i'll try and see if the new os version is kind enough to speak directly with my router

does the update to Sonic Racing glitch a stage checkpoint?
I was just watching some youtube play to see if I wanted to download it

points cards only work with dsi shop and wii. everything 3DS or Wiiu related has to be in money cards.
you mean the game? it's very available in germany for me!
whateever happen to that NNID thread? i can't find it anymore....and i suck with the gaf mobile search.
Well after some trouble connecting my wii u to the internet and downloading the update, finally getting around and discovering every detail and aspect of the console.
got to say that the browsing on this is amazing, and watching videos on the big screen while searching for the next video or just surfing is nice.
Posting from the browser btw

Friend, I think you've made a mistake. The freezing appears to be an issue with Nintendoland, which just does not appeal to me at all - it's no Wii Sports, so I haven't encountered the issue at all.
Stories of 'slow OS' are overhyped. Yes it could be a bit quicker, but it is definitely not bad like some people have been saying.
Gaming on it is fantastic on what I've played so far and the OS features like miiverse are definite killer apps.

Oh thanks, didn't see this. I've never owned a Wii but would love to play Galaxy 1&2 and NSMB U.
Thank you, I'll check that.
I looked back a couple of pages but couldn't find anything. How do you change that?
Edit: It already does!

I had a similar problem, after googling it the solution that worked for me is adding 10 to the last number of your ip address when you input it on your wiiu. I'll try and find the link to the tutorial I used for you in a bit..
3 Mins for NSMBU update. I've had plenty of ps3 updates longer than that so Im not too fussed
And you can easily watch Saturday Kitchen Live and keep track of the progress at the same time!

I got the game icons and real Mii's on my Wii menu now. The messages that pop up, are they directly from the community section? I can't see to post directly from the home screen.
Is Nintendo selling Wii U AC adapters? Maybe from their website.
You can click on every Mii and you'll see what message that person has posted to the community.

Does anyone have any tips for being TOTALLY unable to fucking update this thing?
It finds my wi-fi fine, it connects to the internet fine, but when I try to update it throws upo an error message on "checking for update..." or sometimes "downloading the update..."
It's been like 20 different error messages. Googling them has yielded no real answer.
Starting to be really pissed off. How Nintendo can make this so bad when updates have been standard on consoles for years is boggling my mind.

Try this dude:
Ok so far heres what works, entering in everything manually.
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. Good luck

i'd say that maybe it timeouts with their servers
