So I am now at school, and realized that in order to get internet on my Wii U, I needed to make a wired connection! So I bought this... http://www.amazon.co...ils_o00_s00_i00
so I could connect my ethernet cable to the system. Now I don't know if it's just the wi-fi here at my school, but it's not working, and one thing the Nintendo support guy suggested was that maybe the Nyko cable won't work with it because it wasn't Nintendo brand. Apparently it works with the Wii though. Does anyone know of an adapter that works?

The official nintendo one works, a few friends of mine have cheapo non-name versions (that look exactly like the official one) and they work on their wii u's.

I spoke to the nintendo helpdesk about my faulthy wifi setup. Option was to go cabled, 3rd party was good they told me. I think its the schoolnetwerk. We have name+login security at our campus. WiiU doesnt support that, nor does appleTV.

What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left

Yea thats what we have here, but if you log in to the network with the Ethernet cable attached, then move the cable over to the console, it works. But for some reason, it's not working for my Wii U

I know this sounds silly, but did you change the setting to wired in settings?

That could be it, I just wish there was another way to test it besides buying a new one -_-

I have that exact same adapter and mine works fine. Not sure why you're having problems.
