Important: Before you start

Before you change your DNS settings to use Unblock-Us, be sure to write down the current server addresses or settings on a piece of paper. It is very important that you keep these numbers for backup purposes, in case you need to revert to them at any time.

We also recommend that you print this page, in the event that you encounter a problem and need to refer to these instructions.

Instructions

This video shows you how to set up your Wii U to use our service.

You need to do this if you cannot change the DNS settings on your router to be able to access our service.

I’m going to walk you through this process, as it is relatively simple.

1. Firstly turn on Wii U;
2. From the Wii U Menu, select “System Settings”
3. Using the Left Stick, select the “Internet” icon and press the A Button
4. Tap "Connect to the Internet
5. Press the X Button or tap “Connections” in the top-right corner
6. Select the connection you wish to configure
7. Tap “Change Settings”
8. Tap the arrow on the right and select “DNS”
9. Tap “Don’t Auto-Obtain” You will need to fill in both sets of numbers to the numbers you will find by going to our website and navigating to the how to set up Wii U page. For me these numbers are shown on the screen but for you they may be different due to which geographical region you are in.

   Primary:	208.122.23.23
   Secondary:	208.122.23.22

10. Tap “Confirm” to return to the manual settings screen then reboot your Wii U.

Important

• Restart the device after setting up our DNS
• If the device has a built-in browser please check the device is setup by going to our website. If it doesn’t please make sure you have our DNS setup on a device with a browser so you can check your service.
• Check that you get 3 green bars in the middle of the page. If you see a message asking you to update your IP address please follow the on-screen instructions.
