Hello all! I cannot connect my Wii U to the WiFi! It used to work, but after a week of not playing I cannot connect again. I tried to manually enter the ssid number, the ip addresses(even tried the +10 trick on the last number of the ip) and the dns.I also brought the Wii U closer to the router, reset the router and hard rebooted the Wii U. The weird thing is that it picks up the WiFi from me and my neighbors and also every other device works easily with my WiFi. I also don’t have a external drive on top of the Wii that could cause an interference.
I’m questioning if a direct Ethernet cable via usb adapter would heb, but am worried that the problem lies in de Wii U itself. Has anyone had the same experience per chance? Thank you in advance for thinking along with me!

Check the router to make sure 2.4 GHz is enabled. Wii U supports 5 GHz, but it is used exclusively for local wireless communication with the Gamepad controller.
It is possible to get a wired connection[wired connection](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00484IEJS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
