Wii U Hardware
I've had 2 and returned both with the same fault (Zombi U pack). And before any starts on the "user error" accusations, I am very tech savy, and have been using game consoles and pc's for 20 years plus.
Ok, so I eventually get the Wii U connected to the internet having to manually set it up. I then proceed to download the day 1 update, after a few attempts and consulting the Nintendo Support, I finish the download by having to use my mobile phone as a wi-fi hotspot (the update crashes on install using my home wi-fi (Virginmedia))
I then attempt to play a game (first console) or look at Love Film (second console) to be told that an additional download is required. After this download and install (successful) I then try to return to the "Mii Plaza"(?). The console then locks with half the icons on the Game Pad and just the background on the TV, and a slight buzzing sound.
The console can then only reach that point every time. I have unplugged everything and tried booting with nothing unnecessary plugged in/connected. I can still edit and create new Miis but as soon as I select an account to go to it crashes again.
Amazon have been fantastic and replaced the fist console, then gave me a refund when the second one was faulty as well. Don't know if it is a bad batch or what but I am now going to wait a couple of months then try again.
I will definitely get a new one as I have games to play on it and loved what I played before trying to update it.

Just spoke to Nintendo customer support, they suggested trying someone else's network , it appears to miss out a chunk of data so won't install. I have unlimited data on my phone so am trying that as a Wi-fi hotspot, so far so good, connected instantly and now down loading. Will keep you updated.
Success !!!!
. Dropped connection a couple of times but picked up where it left off.
Took an age but got there in the end.
Good luck everyone.

I'm getting the same, download completed then update crashing after 30%.
With Virginmedia 30Mb
I can only assume that the download is corrupted.
Had a similar issue sometime back with something else and people were speculating that the connection was too fast! Sorted itself out in the end so don't know the cause.
Anyone find a solution yet?
