Where do i find the ip for the WiiU? So i can change it?
instead of "finding" random IP provided by the router to the connected devices, why don't you set your IP yourself to all your devices and remember them?
for example :
computer : 2
3DS : 3
wii : 4
wiiu : 5
PS3 : 6
PS4 : 7
etc.
Go to your console's settings
network settings, skip the "search for new network" with X.
Edit your current network settings
Go to "IP" menu, automatic IP : NO
Set the IP manually.
you will have to know your router's network interface to do that.
On your computer (I assume you are on windows), open a command line window and type ipconfig
The first found interface will be your computer's info:
- IP address : your computer's IP.
- subnet mask : always 255.255.255.0
- gateway : that's what you need !!! on the picture you see it's starting with "192.168.1."
the gateway is your router's IP : 1
the computer IP on that router is : 101
return to your WiiU settings.
automatic IP : NO
manual IP:
WiiU IP : 192.168.1.xxx (put the gateway beginning IP, and choose an IP for your console, replace xxx with a number, for example 2 or 3 : 192.168.1.2)
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 (always that!)
gateway : your router IP 192.168.1.1
when using manual IP, it will also ask yo to set DNS manually.
set the DNS of tubehax (you should already have them anyway).
Save and do a network connection test to be sure the console can still access internet.
If the router already provided the same IP to another device, it will not work. try another number. But the router should have two different IP range : manual and automatic. it allows you to set manual IP (for example assign IP from 2 to 100) and automatically assign IP to devices without a fixed IP (101 to 150), so unless you already assigned a fixed IP to one of your connected device, you should be free to use any number in the 2-10 range.
Now you know your wiiU IP and it will never change.
note it in a file or just remember it.
