So guys my wiiu updated itself to 5.4.0 (I said so some posts ago) .. now I am planning on getting a new unit. But a doubt popd out of my mind. I am buying one from an UK shop but I am from Italy, would there be any problem using it in my country or with my controller/games or anything wrong with the exploiting in near future?
Thanks guys for any help

it demoniacally autoupdated while shut down!! I havent powered it on for weeks, but a day I saw the led turning red -> yellow. I hurried to detach the power supply but after I tried and it auto updated to latest fw. I am so sad :-(
Would there be any problem with a UK console if I will use it in my country (italy) ?

Well actually you could start playing around with the Github sources to test stuff yourself and maybe even improve it ;)

Just remember that the power plug is different.

I was gonna get a a new Wii U sine time soon I don't intend to go online and do you have to update the moment you buy it? Cant you just never connect to the internet and disable the wifi on the WII U. Also does the DNS blocking really work for store bought Wii U. No talking while playing a game online, really ruins the experience for me. So willing to not connect to the internet with store bought Wii U and just disable WiFi on wii u. So I cant just decline the update then, on the store bought wii u. I heard it will try to up date the moment I connect is there a way to deny it at all. I am fine with staying off line.

Nice thought... but.. isn't the power plug different just in one extremity?
wiiu-plug <--> cable <--> home-plug (just the cable in the home-plug extremity differs, not the one soldered into the console)
The console unit which comes with no cables from another country are ok then, while I continue using my original country power plug, right?

Exactly. Even then, you could just solder the adaptor with a plug from your country.

Same here, only ever works if I type it in the url bar directly.

This sounds like a caching issue. I haven't taken a look at the server files yet (planned on searching the forum for them later) but if it is caching related it should be simple to fix. I saw several mentions of portable LAMP/WAMP based server. If you add the following code to the .htaccess file in the root of web directory it should prevent the Wii U browser from caching page renders and reloading the last cached instance when visiting from a bookmarked URL:

.htaccess
Code:
<filesMatch ".(html|htm|js|css|jpg|png)$">
    FileETag None
    <ifModule mod_headers.c>
        Header unset ETag
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
        Header set Pragma "no-cache"
        Header set Expires "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"
    </ifModule>
</filesMatch>

Adding the following meta tag to any of the HTML documents should also tell your browser not to cache them.

*.html
Code:
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

If your OpenDNS profile was set up correctly you will still be notified when new updates are available, however if you try to download them it will timeout because it cannot connect to that server.
