Just noticed on the last page of the quick start guide the transferred data from wii to wii u cannot be transferred back. Just something to be aware of.

Can you transfer online multiplayer profiles (MW3 for example) from Wii to WiiU?

CastorTroy · 30-11-2012 12:32PM

Are ye all meant to be banished to the other thread now that you have a Wii U?

Likewise

Had the same issue with the Wii but can't remember how I sorted it

If you figure it out will you let me know as I'm still having trouble

Nollog · 30-11-2012 12:44PM

my update keeps stopping and starting. Infuriating. 120mbit and been at it for an hour and a half. It's up to the D in Data.

Oh, the fix to connect to yout thompson, or any router you're having issues with is to set an ip yourself.
The dns is borked.
Set your ip to something in your network's rainge, usualy 192.168.0.10 or something, get the range from your pc, and subnet and gateway.
You'll need to set up dns too so use google's or someone else's, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 i used, which i think is googles.

I'd say being the launch day in the UK too, the servers are getting hammered.

Does that count as save data for wii software?

According to manual:

Transferrable data includes save data for wii software, wiiware and save data, vc titles and save data, and, add-on content for software. Also wii points, wii shop channel account activity and mii characters.

"You cannot select individual items to transfer, nor can you transfer any other kinds of data, such as save data for gamecube software"

Hope that helps.

Guys picked up my Wii U having trouble with trying to connect to UPC router. It picks up the signal but when I enter in password to connect it fails. Password is correct. If anyone has any ideas let me know please thanks.

Yeah had the same problem why do nintendo make it so difficult so many people having this issue anyway here is the fix I am downloading update now taking ages though on a 50mb connection
Ok so far heres what works, entering in everything manually.

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

2. Input your SSID

3. Input the correct security type, this is 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

Also, hats off to HMV. They honoured the original pre-order price absolutely quibble free. I'd be inclined to shop there now for games etc, fair dues.

Have to agree 0 trouble and got an extra fiver off without asking as there was an instore promotion. Hmv well done!

I've tried that but I can't seem to get my subnet mask or whatever off the gateway. All I have is my ip # 192.168.1.1

Corholio · 30-11-2012 01:34PM

Just a heads up to anyone buying Batman, it's €49.99 in Smyths as opposed to €59.99 in HMV. Just picked it up there in Smyths Cork even though they didnt have it out on display, asked at the counter and got it.

your subnet is probably 255.255.255.0

eoghanie · 30-11-2012 02:08PM

Any of you guys who ordered from Harvey Norman, did you get your console? I ordered the ZombieU one but they're telling me they didn't get any stock of it. Annoyed.

It's actually only one gig, the entire OS is just short of five and that's what's being updated.

Mr.D.CraicLAAD · 30-11-2012 02:16PM

Electricty went off in my area and hasnt come back. Happily my village wasnt affected, but im scared s&*tless that if i start the update and the piwer goes I may brick the console. If it happens can I sue the ESB

Change the end of your ip to .011 (instead of the 1 or .001 as wiiu shows it) it will work

Evilbart · 30-11-2012 02:28PM

Tried that and it says device on network already using same IP address.
Here are the settings I have:

Security: WPA-PSK-(AES)
IP Address: 192.168.001.011
Subnet Mask: 255.255.254.000
Gateway: 079.097.108.001

Primary DNS: 008.008.008.008
Secondary DNS: 008.008.004.004

Am I missing something? Really frustrated now

Myrddin · 30-11-2012 02:38PM

Your subnet mask is wrong, your gateway looks weird too.

Should maybe be:

IP address: 192.168.001.011
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.001.001

Dns should autoconfigure

Yep use that gateway ref

Overheard an interesting conversation in Gamestop this morning when i went in to pick up Far Cry 3 (which I ended up buying elsewhere as they're charging 60 sheets for it - erm, just 'no' Gamestop); if you brick your machine by interrupting the update then they're not going to replace it and it's your tough tomatoes.

Why does anyone shop with these goons any more?

OMG FINALLY! It didn't work initially but I changed it up 1 figure to .012 and it worked!! Onto to software update now. Thanks a lot everyone that helped!

I'd like to see them prove to a judge in the smalls claim court that it was the customers fault. Idiotic :rolleyes:
