If you aren't playing online, then I don't see much of a need for an internet connection on the Wii U.
Here's a guide for proper update-blocking:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/block-wii-u-system-updates-without-dns-blocking.477944/
Thats not what im specifically asking... My WiiU booted up asking to install an update! I quickly turned if off. Now what I am asking is: Does the WiiU Cache those updates in the NAND so even tho I have now blocked DNS &/or disconnected from Inet completely, Could they potentially try to install again. Other family members may unwittingly do it without my knowledge. Someone that knows exactly how the wii works please answer.
if it asked to install an update, it's probably already installed it by now. you should get a red x and an error with system update otherwise. this will happen even if there's no update. it would only say there was an update if it had already downloaded it.
dunno. it only updates ssl certificates afaik. I'm still on 5.5.1 myself. there's no reason to update. you can still access the eshop with nnu patcher and online games should work with cbhc spoof.
My kids updated one of our consoles today, I assume to 5.5.5, no problem, cbhc still works. Our other wii u is blocked against updates.
Our switch is blocked in the router (mac block), dns, incognito, whatever, but I'm a bit sloppy with the kids wii u it seems. I backup game saves often though.
Edit: I should check later to see if this really is 5.5.5E and not 5.5.4E.

You can tell with Mocha. Cbhc will show 99.99.99.
So I can run the update like normal and it won't get rid of my Mocha? Right? Will it get rid of any of my HBs?
no, everything should work as it used to. I think this update just updated the ssl certificates.
I take offense to that. I have a lot of outdated switches. I never update until daddy SciresM says it's okay. Though that's just on one switch though."Accidentially" is the Magic Word.
But I think Wii U Users are a little smarter than many Switch Users.
The only "Issue" that maybe can happen and I can imagine is to update from an (very) lower Version as 5.5.3x maybe...View attachment 249535
Hi everyone
I recently factory reset my wii u, that was in previous firmware version (5.5.4E) no problem to connect it to my user account, but, impossible to access eshop, when i'm trying firmware update to 5.5.5 E i have the 105-3012 error...As the console is clean of any hack, okay with wifi, i don't see what may be the problem...
Thanks for your help.
P.S : i thought that, maybe a lan adapter should do it, but it's almost impossible to find actually.

Honestly...I also did not have it....
By the Way - the eShop is working here,with WiFi and LAN to USB Connection.
If you want to use one,I can recommend you this one:

Works with the Wii and the Wii U / vWii.
more stable connection yes also...i really don't get why the internet browsing/eshop sinin is working but not the console update, really strange. hope it will be better with lan (okay wii and wii u are only in 10/100 but it will be enough i suppose)Honestly...I also did not have it....

I just played little of "Still Wakes The Deep" , just came to gamepass today, its alright, kinda creepy. I'm not usually a horror game fan, but it looks really good graphic wise, esp w 4k. I admit it made me jump a few times.
