Misc Online help 103-1602

[mcsquared]

Hi,

Hope this is the right forum but feel free to point me in the right direction if not. I'm having trouble getting online with my Wii I that was previously working ok.

I've had a read around and seen that a few people have had similar issues in the past.

It won't connect to my router and on the few occasions where it has, it won't then connect to the Nintendo network on MK8. From reading what others have tried previously, I've deleted all the WIFI connections & setup a new connection. Testing it seems to work fine one minute but not the next & I keep getting the error code 103-1601 or 1602. I've also rebooted the router and tried the Wii U with and without a HDD plugged into it.

Nothing has changed in terms of the router setup/location etc. I'm stumped! Can anyone help so I can get a game of MK8 online?

Thanks

Mike

It sounds like an IP conflict, based on some quick Googling. I would try the following:

1. Power off the modem and router.
2. Delete all internet connections from the Wii U
3. Do a full shutdown of every single device in your house that connects to the internet.
4. Wait a minute.
5. Power on the router and modem
6. Wait for the internet to come back on
7. Power on the Wii U
8. Setup the internet again on the Wii U and see if it works.

You should also make sure your Wii U is updated to the latest system version.

Thanks, I've done all that and I've now tried to connect to my phone as hotspot with no luck either and the same error code. I'm running 5.5.2E with Haxchi, is it safe to update to the latest version through the official channels?

In fact, scratch that, I can't even connect to the router so I don't know how I'm going to update!

This seems to have worked for some reason, bizarre!

Adding to this in case anyone has a similar problem, I recently ran into this issue and nothing seemed to fix it until I unplugged my USB drive. After some testing, I found out that it only occurred when my USB drive was on top of my WiiU. So if you're having a similar issue and the above solutions don't work, try moving any devices connected to your system!
