Alright, being able to go to the eShop, buy and start downloading Mario, then Miiverse and finally the web browser to post this all while Tekken is pause is nothing short of brilliant.

Still can't get it to find a wi-fi spot, even right next to the router thing. I can't remember security password exactly but I must be putting it in right because it goes to the connection test yet it still fails to find anything. Anyone know if there is a default password like 0000 or 1234 that wi-fi things all have?

Amazon just sent me a download code for Nintendo Land from the eShop. Bit disappointed as I wanted to trade it when I was done, but the faster load times will be nice.

How the fuck does Mario take 15 mins to install after the download? Seems stupidly inefficient.

Yahooo

Boss of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, apologizes for all the issues people are having with the system's launch with the initial patch difficulties as the main source for the apology.

The scanning and NFC features which was teased as a potential gameplay feature for Rayman Legends may not end up being in the final version. Ubisoft is having some difficulties getting it finished beyond the "prototype" stage.

Love Miiverse so much. On Mario, it's like "You achieved something great on that level. Would you like to draw a commemorative picture as you brag to the internet?"

Fuck I wish I could draw.

Ok, I managed to get the Wii U to connect to my wireless connection but now it can't connect to the internet. The Wii can do it, the upstairs PC can do. Any help at all? I even have the Wii U right next to where the wireless connection is coming from.

Who setup your Wii? I can't imagine the settings being different. I'd go to your Wii settings and copy them to your Wii U exactly.

Have you done the Wii to Wii U transfer? Not sure if that transfers settings like wireless.

If I get the Wii U there's no way I'm transferring all my data from the Wii to it

forget that

Try this Drakul. Wish I could help more, but there's not a lot of help out there yet with it being so new and I didn't have any issues connecting to my router or using my phone as a router.

I'm doing it, then I get my Wii games in upscaled HD and use my Wii as a GameCube. Good times.

I set up the Wii myself. I have already done the thing you linked me to, this morning and it got the Wii U connected to the wireless signal but then the wireless signal wont get an internet connection. It's not that the router isnt working or anything.

I need an internet connection to get the update to transfer my Wii stuff.

Turn the firewall off the router and see if that works. If it does, either leave it disabled (your PC should have it's own firewalls anyway) or add the Wii U to the DMZ.

try www.routerlogin.net. use 'admin' and 'password' to login, if that's the correct way to do it. I have a Netgear router and that's the site I use to play with the settings.

the password will be under "Wireless Settings"

My router is weird. I can't access any kind of control panel for some reason, probably the way someone installed it. So I can't edit any settings.

That site you linked me to, Purgatory, doesn't seem to exsist.

works for me, though. What kind of router is it?

another idea. In your browser, type in http://000.000.000.000, except type in your IP address instead of the zeros. This was how I had to do it when I was using the Netgear router that my ISP gave me.

Functionality wise, I am in love with the console.

I went to bed playing Tekken and I woke up feeling pretty ill. The gamepad was next to my bed though so I booted up Nintendo Land and played some crash course, checked up on some Miiverse things and then finally New Super Mario, all without turning on the TV.

Miiverse is fucking addictive. I was shocked.

I'll go as far to say that as long as it continues to get good ports, I'll take the Wii U version of a game above any other format if it is completely playable on the gamepad.

I tried that before and all I get is "Bing cannot find this site" or something.
I use TP-Link for my wirelessness.

I feel like I got your Wii U launch period and you got mine.

This is what I use for wireless internet.

I can get the Wii U to connect to that but that wont then connect to the internet through the Wii U. Upstairs PC etc still all get internet through it.

Nah, that's the wireless adaptor that plugs into your PC, surely.

It is. The actual thing has TL-WR641G on it.

I'm totally clueless with anything remotely technical when it comes to PCs.

http://192.168.1.1 type this into your browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox). Then a prompt will come up asking you to enter the login and password.

This is right from the manual for the TP Link TL-WR641G.

or just click on it.

"This forum requires that you wait 20 seconds between posts. Please try again in 2 seconds. Spilchuk is a shithead"

LOL

When I was typing it in, it didn't work but it works when I click the link. Now I just need to find the username. It was set up by someone else about 2 or 3 years ago. Thanks, though.

Ok, we got ya that far. Now, try "admin" for the username and "password" for the password. Those are the default and I don't know if those can be changed. I know I didn't change mine. If your ISP set it up for you, they wouldn't have changed it without your permission. Try it out and we'll go from there.

Apparently, the default for these routers is admin for the username and admin for the password too.

Going to go all digital where I can on this. Just having all your games selectable from the pad when you're in another room without fannying around with discs is worth the extra premium.

Nintendo's site lists a Buffalo and a Toshiba drive as "recommended" and they're pretty cheap actually. Going with the Buffalo. Was only going to get a 1TB but it's only £20 for 2Tb so may as well partake.

Yeah this one usually works, and it is typically no username and admin as the password. Usually default passwords are always a combination of admin and password in some kind of arrangement.

Also, find the reset button on your router and hold it down for like 30 seconds; this should cause a factory reset on the router in the event the password has been changed for some reason.

Also, in the rare event that 192.168.1.1 does not do anything for you, try 10.0.0.1. Some routers, especially ones given out by ISPs, will use that address for access instead. Happens alot with comcast equipment.

comcast, I tell ya...Had to deal with their equipment while visiting my family in Burlington, Mass

"oh sweet new posts in the Wii U thread...oh it's just posts about getting online still"

good luck though.

I think I'm going to have to do a "hard reset" of the TP-Link. I've asked everyone that could have possibly set up the thing for me and no one remembers the user name and any possibly default username doesn't work.
Only problem is my brother, who is living with me for now, doesn't want me to reset it because he'll have to set stuff up for his PC again.

The site says to back up the settings before reseting but I think I need to get into the thing to do that, which I can't do until I reset it. Nothing but the Wii U has been this difficult to get online. Wii, 360, DS, PC.

Feel like I'm missing out on the best stuff of the Wii U until I get it online :(.

Really and truly, all your brother will have to do is change his password to access the wifi to whatever the new setting is after you update it....in all actuality, this will have to be done for every device connected wirelessly on your network. I've done it, it's not that bad.

AND I'VE POSTED ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL IT IS, DAMMIT.

I keep my wireless password taped to the bottom of my router. This way, if my son or wife need it for their devices, it's there and they won't bother me for it.

Yes, you have. Would you like a towel?

Nah, the gamepad is pretty glossy. It's wipe-clean.
