Which URls you blocked.Right now I`m on 4.1 and I just got my Wii U and I`m thinking about updating because the Wii U Netflix and Youtube app want open up unless I do a update which would update me to 5.0.
Hello guys!
I'm using 2 routers. One of them is my primary router and the other one is used as an acces point. (same SSID, Password, etc.) Unfortunately, my primary router has no options for URL/IP blocking at all, and my acces point can only block 4 URL's.
My Wii U is currently connected to the acces point. Do you guys think there is a solution to this problem? A way for me to prevent the Wii U from updating other than URL/IP blocking?
Thanks in advance!
P.S
Is it possible to prevent the automatic updates by blocking only 4/5 URL's?
Are you sure you can't install a better custom firmware on your router?
Thanks goodness that you can block IP ranges, since the Nintendo Update System looks like a huge DHCP server for all these other machines.So, I've been trying to get a clear-cut answer on the IP ranges to block on my router, to block the Nintendo Update Servers (NUS). So far, this is the list I have compiled from several different threads and my own findings (Balanced URLs appear at end of the list). Is anyone able to confirm these are accurate? Any additions?

Yes it is...
People should learn how dns work to know how to block connexions
If you are asking for "nus.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net"
Your will contact the ".net" Domain Name "master" Server (but this one is really to big to be asked by the average joe...)
Then the ".net" DNS server will give you the IPs of the ".shop.net" servers
The "shop.net" servers will give you the IPs of the "shop.nintendo.net
....
But each ISP have some copies of the world domain to ip allocation so your ISP will have only some accesses to the world wide DNS adresses
So no need to block IP range, just some hosts...
Hosts haven't static IP, they change regarding where you're locating Most of the IPs are located in Boston... Nice for Americans...
All you need is a small map of the network. From the looks of it, we'd only need a few servers out of the lot. Also, when you have a DHCP/DNS server running, there's no need for statically assigning addresses if it's set up correctly. Blocking IP ranges should be considered if additional features from the servers for the Wii U persist.
People want to block IP ranges because they have shitty routers that don't support blocking by URL, and they don't know how to re-flash their router with a decent firmware. Odd to me, because I make sure to learn how to re-flash a router before I buy it.
My router only has options for ip/mac addresses/port filtering, and I can't really tinker with its firmware cause it was provided by my internet provider, so I don't actually own it.
Question is, if I take the addresses that I need to block, and check their ip address via the ping command on cmd, does blocking the ip that will pop up be equivalent to blocking the address?
I can't test it out now, since I didn't receive my Wii U yet, but does anyone know if that could work?

Who knows? Some people still use fairly old routers, although many routers nowadays allow you to access them on your PC through printed on instructions you can find on it. It also usually comes with a default administrator username and password in order for them to access it.
Odd to you because you're in the like 1% of people that actually understands how this sort of stuff works, but a lot of people just don't, and that's okay, just like if you don't know how to fix your own car or plumbing or whatever.
Also could be their router doesn't support flashing (and this alone doesn't make it bad) or is provided by their ISP and they don't own it so flashing it would be a really bad idea.
