Introducing Myself

19 January 2014 - 12:01 PM

Hi I am new here and looking for some help! Hopefully it's ok to post this here, I am having a serious issue.

 

Very happy with my Wii U, but the Netflix quality is super subpar. I typically only get about 240/288p. I have managed to get 720p one time since getting the console in December. I have switched the DNS from the default to other options and the MTU from 1400 to 1492 to 1500. I have tried deleting and redownloading the app. I have used several different HDMI ports on my TV. I got a Wii LAN adaptor and used an ethernet cable and didn't get any results. I also turned the Firewall off on my U-verse router and that also didn't make any difference.

I am very disappointed because I love the console but not being able to play Netflix in high quality reliably is upsetting to me.

 

Since I just learned how to do this I got this info. My Macbook Pro gets 14.1 to 18 Mbps in a recent speed test and the Wii U is getting 7.6 to 8Mbps, which obviously is much slower but Netflix states that it only needs 7 Mbps for Super HD but I have never even experienced 720p :(

 

Another thing, YouTube, Amazon, and Hulu play in very clear HD ://

 

Thanks again! Any help would be very, very great.
