Following his instructions worked perfectly. Now my Wii U is all Interneted up. So if you run into any WiFi issues, try this method out and it should help. Couldn't they just have avoided this issue entirely by adding in an ethernet port? When rigorously and repeatedly tested, custom MTU settings do not appear to improve internet speeds or ping so we recommend leaving your MTU settings as default or automatic.
You then select the value that triggered this warning, and then add 28 to this to get your optimum MTU value. MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit and refers to a setting on devices and routers which determines the largest size in bytes of any single packet of data that can be sent in one go from source to destination. The maximum and default value if often set to on games consoles, meaning that the largest packet of data that can be sent over the internet in one go to and from these devices is bytes.
There are videos and articles online claiming that lowering the MTU value manually to a specific value like or can reduce latency or ping. The idea behind this is that smaller packets can be sent more quickly to their destination, meaning potentially lower latency. Unfortunately many of the forum posts and videos on this topic paint a very simplistic picture, implying that if you change your MTU value to some magical value like , it will automatically lower latency for everyone who tries it.
In reality it is not that simple as we will explain below. The MTU value specifies the largest size in bytes of each data packet that is sent and received by network devices. It is commonly set to by default on games consoles and other devices.

Getting a LAN connection does not require you to do any of the router juggling, and that kind of networking isn't as common of knowledge as say, getting a LAN cable and connecting one end to the console and the other to an available port.

Find out your router's gateway IP. Enter it into your internet browser. Simultaneously have the Wii U settings open to the Internet settings.
EX your Gateway IP address might be These are in the internet options before you get to connection settings on the Wii U. This beats port forwarding, and is very simple to do. My Wii U was set to , and I'm not sure if that was the normal default because of wireless connection being the default.
Just make sure the values match between your Wii U and router. MTU is how large the size the packets of data that are being sent to the internet, so the higher the MTU, the smaller the packets, and the more you send out. Make sure the MTU you chose in your router matches with this number so Enter in the IP address you chose when you were in your router. Ex So for example You just choose manual for this, because auto won't work with manual IP settings.
