Sorry if there is a dedicated thread for this but I did not see one specific to Wii U.
So, like many others, I am having speed issues with internet on Wii U. It is very inconsistent and I sometimes have a lot of trouble to get netflix to stream HD. Same on youtube (browser and app), it will often rebuffer and it is anoying to no end.
Everyting else is fine PC wise and my connection is plenty fast.
I do have a static IP, proper router channel (tried 1, 6 and 11) and tried most all the "tricks" that are supposed to help.
Something is seriously wrong with how Wii U interacts with WiFi. But anyway, i read many reports of ethernet over USB being even SLOWER after a lot of testing.
So what do we need to change? MTU? Yet some other DNS? some weird channel that is not 1, 6 or 11?
No other device is that picky or finicky with online be it WiFi or wired.
Using the same speed test many times in a row, I get anywhere from 12Mb/s and 2-3Mb/s but mostly the later. Other tests give similar results
Even Nintendo Direct through the E-shop keeps on rebuffering. So nothing to do with browser. Netflix and youtube apps have as much if not more issues.
So, what are the OPTIMAL settings in general terms (not model specific) for routers with Wii U? Or is it that Wii U does not get along with some ISPs?
Thank you much fro your help
