In order to connect your Wii U console to the Internet, youll need access to a wireless broadband connection.

From the Wii U Menu, select System Settings.

Using the Left Stick, select the Internet icon and press the A Button.

Select Connect to the Internet.

Wii U will search for available Wi-Fi networks in your area.

Once the search completes, use the Right Stick to scroll up and down through the list of networks and select the name of your Wi-Fi network.

If prompted, use the on-screen keyboard to enter your Wi-Fi networks security key (wireless password) and select OK when finished.

If you receive an error message stating The security key you have entered is incorrect, the security key you entered was not a valid security key.

Wii U will now perform a connection test.

If the connection test fails, select OK to receive an error code and detailed information on why the connection test failed.

If the connection test is successful, select OK to continue.

When asked if you would like to make this your default connection, select Set if you wish this to be your default connection or No if you do not.

Wii U will now ask you to perform an update. Select Update to perform the system update, or select Cancel to skip this process.

We recommend performing the system update as this will ensure you have access to recently released software and services.
