Wii U connects to internet just fine, but in vWii it can't connect at all if apps like WiiFlow or CFG USB Loader want to download covers for my games. I've followed all the instructions for hacking the vWii found in this guide.
No such option exists in vWii's options, just save management options. I'm thinking that a certain cIOS needs to be or modified, but I don't know which ones to screw with that aren't already in that guide.You need to setup a network in the vWii settings, as it doesn't go through the Wii U.
While the Wii U and Wii U software supports WPA2-PSK (TKIP), software developed for the Wii is not compatible with this security type.
When viewing the connections you have set up within the Wii U Internet Settings, a Wii logo will appear if your Wi-Fi network is compatible with Wii games.
actually, these apps should still be able to connect otherwise you wouldn't be able to download box art for say usb loader gx.
in vWii it can't connect at all if apps like WiiFlow or CFG USB Loader want to download covers for my games.
What's wrong with looking for the Wii logo like Nintendo suggests to do?I have a suggestion to see if the internet is working at all.

//EDIT: As I wouldn't recommend lowering WiFi security I would recommend a LAN adapter instead. It is (v)Wii compatible:

it's software only that's affected and needs wep or maybe even wpa-1. it's just like ds games on the 3ds. the ds isn't compatible with wpa-2 either. even if it were a problem, you can create a hotspot on your phone and use your phone to connect. that's how I have it with the psp, which isn't compatible either.
It's all of my vWii apps, not just my USB loaders.sounds like you may have outdated software. some of that software changes groups of devs, so you may only be able to update to a certain number before you have to update manually. cfg usb loader is one of those.
edit: what I mean to say is that the updater within will only update to the latest from that group, since the update link changes.
I already checked that. It still won't work. It says Wii. I'll send you a picture when I come back from Michigan.
