It did this before and I had to update the wireless router/modem. It started working good just off and on I would have to reset my router for the wii u to connect. Now it's doing it again but reseting the router is not working. My 360 and ps3 have no problem connecting everytime. My Wii U and my ipod are the only things that won't connect. Is the wii u's wife connectivity that rainbowty or what's going on. I don't really won't to go wired but any help would be appreciated this is starting to get old.

Something is wrong with your router. How long have you had your router been hooked up? You may have to buy a new one

It's definitely not a problem with the Wii U itself. Sounds like something with the router or your network settings

The router/modem is form the cable company but why would my 360 and ps3 connect no problem whatsover?

Try reseting your router many times

Make sure the Wii U isn't covered by metal. Those reflect the radio waves.
Try moving your Wii U where your ps3 is and test the internet.

1. Go into connection types, Hit "Manual Configuration"

2. Input your SSID

3. Input the correct security type, this is key.  WPA-PSK-(AES) and internet security key

4. Put your password in properly

5. For ip address "Do not auto obtain".

6. open up cmd in your computer, type in ipconfig

7. Now input that ip address but add 10 to the last number so "192.168.0.1" will be entered as "192.168.0.11"

8. Enter the rest of your info inside such as subnet mask and default gateway exactly as you see it in your ipconfig.

9. Now hit next, hit configure now for your DNS. When asked about DNS hit "Dont auto obtain".

10. For the first server put in 8.8.8.8

11. For the second server put in 8.8.4.4

12. Hit Next, when asked about a proxy hit no proxy

13. Leave mtu as the default

14. it should work, if not check the ip and that it is the internet ip + 10. Good luck

Actually i can explain this if you would have listen to his comment:

 

"its a router and cable box from the cable company"

 

See Cable companies use not the latest wireless tech but older tech because its cheaper see the wii u doesn't support wireless g which most routers from cable companies are they use wireless g and the other thing you must keep in mind it that wireless g routers the really nasty cheap ones only support 2 devices registered with the device so this is why your iPod your wii u dont connect to the internet while the 360 and ps3 do because they support wireless g.

 

I recommend updating your wireless router to net gear dlink linksys any of those will work
