Homebrew What are the default DNS settings on Wii U?

I changed the DNS settings to block eshop/nintendo updates, but now I can't access Download Management. It just says: "System Update Error."

Say I needed to uninstall a game from the NAND, can I just change to google's DNS (8.8.8.8) or do I need to set it to something specific?

Unplug the wiiu from the mains. Leave it unplugged for about a minute then plug it back in. The system update error message should now have disappeared.

So I will still have eshop/nintendo updates blocked AND be able to access Download Management?

But to answer your second question, yes, you can change the DNS settings to Google's or any other provider (or even to your router's automatic setting) for those times where you need access to Nintendo services, and then change it back afterwards.
