Hi all,

I am having major trouble trying to get my Wii U to join online games. The port requirements from Nintendo are not documented with the general advice being to put the Wii in a DMZ.

Unfortunately after doing this I am only able to join games very rarely (usually after 40 or so attempts). I gave the Wii a public IP address and plugged it into the provider cable and I was able to join online without any issues, so this is definitely an issue with the firewall.

Could somebody verify my DMZ settings below, to ensure I haven't missed anything?

System Mode: NAT
DMZ Mode: Private
DMZ IP Address: 192.168.2.1

NAT-DMZ: Enable
Host IP Address: 192.168.2.100

I then plugged the Wii directly into the DMZ port, giving it an IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a GW of 192.168.2.1

I assume this is all the configuration this is needed?

Thanks!

I also have the same issues with the WIIU. the ER-6120 is a great product but the support is pretty much non-existent.

I think it is because the ER6120 uses symmetric NAT. It doesn't help that Nintendo cannot provide accurate ports that the Wii U uses.

I got a Cisco RV320. Conncted the WIIU and the TPLink ER-6120 to it. My Inernal network is preserved and with a little port forwarding on the Cisco, the VPNs are still funtional. This also keeps the game and guest networks out of my router completely.
