Brave Knight of Truth
Hello fellow members of the Zelda Dungeon community. This is my first thread in while, and, naturally, it's going to be a very fairly long rant. Basically, my Wii U does not like to connect to the Internet. At all. I am constantly being told by error codes and such to "check you wi-fi network", yet other devices in my house connect to the network fine. And I'm not talking one or two more devices, I'm talking 10+ (it's not a lot when you consider there's seven people living in my home). So, can anyone explain why several devices connect to my network fine but my Wii U can't? Another thing that I have been suggested by my friends, family, etc. is that maybe my Wii U is too faraway from the router. I figured it was possible. Maybe it was too far. I thought it was possible until I remembered it's barely 30 feet away. Yeah. 30 feet. Considering my Wii is on the opposite side of the house and connects fine, clearly it's not distance that's the problem.
Don't get me wrong; I LOVE my Wii U. I love the games I have for it, I love the future games that will be coming out shortly, I love the applications (e.g. Miiverse, Nintendo TVii, etc.), and I even love the GamePad. The Wii U is an awesome system.
Now, back to the rant. My Wii U is so strange with the Internet. Almost everytime I turn it on my little account box with my Mii in it is always orange (which for those whom don't have a Wii U means it's not connected to the Internet). I would say this happens 7 out of 10 times. When this happens, I know any hopes of opening up MiiVerse, accessing the browser, or playing an online game of Black Ops 2 are dead. This will happen once, and then continue to happen over the course of two weeks or so. Every time I open the system, whether it's 8 p.m. or 3 a.m., no connection. However, there is that 1 time out of ten when the box is blue, and I'm literally jumping with joy (on the inside). Whenever this happens, it will stay connected to the Internet steadily for about a week or so. I literally do nothing but play on it during this span. I barely even do my homework, because I know eventually I will turn it on and the box will be orange, meaning I won't be able to do anything on it for another week or so.
Just before writing this post I had opened my Wii U, expecting it to work as it was (rarely) working fine yesterday. Guess what? Orange box. (FYI orange is now my least-favourite colour) I entered the error code I received from the system on Nintendo's site, and followed every instruction they give. Nothing. Wouldn't connect at all. In rage, I ran upstairs and put all my anger and frustration into this post. Thanks for reading all of it.
Anywho, for those who have one, is it my specific system, or has this happened to you? What should I do? I've called Nintendo twice now, and all they've suggested is the same bull**** on their website, which I have down every step of multiple times. At this point, I don't know what to do.
