The Wii U doesn't support my router wireless Security of WPA2-PSK (AES)...

Please help guys
What are my options ?? is there any options ??
 
Your screenshot says that your router is using WPA2-PSK (TKIP) not WPA2-PSK (AES)... if you change it to AES it'll then work.
But that would be a pain in the ass to do...:(


As I have loads of stuff already setup to use my wireless router with this Security..

3 Desktop PC's
2 laptops
2 skyboxes
4 mobiles phones
Ipod Touch
PS3
PS Vita
Xbox360 (I think I set this up)

Everything supports this apart from this stupid Wii U...:mad: :mad: :mad:
what happens when you click continue?

why cant you hardwire it, do a software update and then try and connect?
If I click continue it connects but only some stuff works..
It really strange how it can connect and let some stuff work but not other stuff..

I can't hardwire it as my wireless router is upstairs..

We have a limited locked down guest wireless network for some older handheld consoles that don't support WPA2-PSK (AES) but not all routers have the functionality to do that - you could also setup a second wireless AP.
I have to take a look at what options my wireless router has..

My router a
Netgear N600
model DGND3700
wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router

EDIT:Yes it has a guest network part..

TKIP is pretty insecure, you should just change it to AES and then check if you don't need to (re)configure your devices, and if so, keep it set to AES.
I just notice it is AES my router is using...

But my wii U is saying it's TKIP ...:confused:

If it's true about Wii U OS shipping buggy then why not connect it wired and update it before messing around with the wireless?

Why not move the Wii next to the router, wire it, update it and then faff around with wireless?
It is updated....;)

I updated it before I put Security on my wireless network...
(I didn't have my wireless network protected for many many years )
