Just for the record, we've confirmed the method they are using to connect to Pretendo servers, SSSL/hackless, moved to here from #pretendo
I have also instructed them to make sure that there are no devices on top of their Wii U which may be interfering with the connection
@rotund lynx Can you confirm what part the Wii U fails the connection test on, Wii U to Access Point or Access Point to Internet?

Wii U to Access Point

Then this would not be an error with the DNS server, something is preventing your Wii U from connecting to your router
As I said back in #pretendo, make sure there are no objects on top of your Wii U which may be causing interference, such as anything metal
rotund lynx

there was nothing on my Wii U
flint trench
When you try to connect without manually set DNS settings, does it connect successfully?
Also, I will note that, at least in my case, I have had other devices cause interference with their own wireless connections, so make sure the least about of devices as possible are connecting to the internet
rotund lynx
But I will lose access to Pretendo if I do auto obtain, won't i?
flint trench
Yes, but you can change it back
flint trench
Your Wii U is not banned, it would need to connect to the internet to get a ban code, it is failing at the point where it tries to communicate with your router
It's not even connecting to the internet at this point
rotund lynx
it fails on Wii U to Network Device
flint trench
By chance, do you have the Gamepad charging crade or generally any object at all on top of your Wii U, I know I asked before but I only specified metal objects
flint trench
I'm not sure, try connecting to a mobile hotspot or generally any other network connection you can connect to
rotund lynx
Or wait?
flint trench
Hm?
rotund lynx
Wait to see if it connects later?
flint trench
It may be that your security settings are set wrong, or your Wi-Fi password is not set correctly
rotund lynx
I think I need to connect to a New WiFi Network
flint trench
Ah, wait, I found the result for the error code!
NOT_FOUND_ACCESS_POINT
This means that the network you are trying to connect to isn't in range
rotund lynx
Oh Snap-
flint trench
Set up a new connection but this time with the correct network, the one you were trying to connect to very possibly may be from another house, your previous ISP or what-have-you, a multitude of different reasons
rotund lynx
will I still keep my progress in online games?
flint trench
Yes, as they are stored on your console in your save file as far as I know
rotund lynx
Crud! I just realized! The SSID i used was the only good one
now I deleted it
Fuck!
Now i cant connect to it at all
flint trench
I think I might have screwed up on the error code
I mistook 103-1607 for 103-1601
Although your SSID is the name for your Wi-Fi, if it isn't in range or isn't on the correct band then it won't be finding it, or if it's a hidden network

flint trench
No clue, for me my Wi-Fi in my room is super spotty since my house has brick walls internally, making it harder for Wi-Fi signals to go through
flint trench
You cannot connect to the internet, a VPN would not help
It may be that your house also has brick walls internally and causing the Wi-Fi to not be in range, however I'd recommend making sure the name of your Wi-Fi connection is correct, making sure the security level you set on your Wii U is correct/supported, if you still cannot detect your router on your Wii U, then try using a hotspot to connect to the internet

Or check the specifications of your router to see if it can support the 2.4 GHz band
The Wii U can only connect to 2.4 GHz networks since it is a 14 year old device

OP means Original Poster, meaning you are the one who created the thread
rotund lynx
Retrying now
Okay, Still not Working
Is Pretendo Down or something?
This is the Thing I get
@dusky shadow @flint trench
flint trench
This isn't an issue on Pretendo's end, as your Wii U is having problems connecting to your router, please ensure you've checked your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal, supports WPA2-PSK security and that you are connecting to the right network and not to a different network which is not in range, such as an old router

Okay, AT this point, I wanna give up
Ive been trying for Hours!
flint trench
I and Dimitri have presented solutions, however it is ultimately out of our hands as this is not an issue with Pretendo Network as we do not have access to your router or Wii U settings
If your Wii U is failing to connect to the router, it may be an issue with your Wii U or your router, but not Pretendo Network
You may want to speak with Nintendo Homebrew to see if they can help diagnose your issue further to see if it may be a Wi-Fi chipset issue or not, but I would recommend you calm down beforehand as being angry and upset will not fix your problem
