Daniel just updated his Wii U using the latest 5.1.1 update (I think).

Ok, i have the most probable solution:

- CONNECT TO A DIFFERENT WIFI NETWORK! I used my phone's 3G network, shared through WiFi.

I dont know why, but the Wii U just stops working with your current network, probably caused by a previous patch.
Changing some stuff on your router maybe will help, but i cant tell what should u change. Some people got this working through DNS (008.008.008.008 / 008.008.008.004), but i havent tried this.

So thats it, using a different network worked for me )

GOOD LUCK!

Just report to close it.

@Nate: Look up your phone model and find out if your cell coverage allows you to do tethering.

Ok, it will take for a year to finish :/ If it work (and it will work ) Did i need to use the phone for all update ?

If you're using your phone to update, then yes. If you turn it off it will interrupt and possibly brick your Wii U.
