For the life of me I cannot get the key

[Maaychu]

Using a Linksys AE1000 inside an Ubuntu VM with VMware Player and I cannot get the key no matter what I try.
Keep getting "No Wii U found."

I've tried using different versions of Ubuntu, as well as changing the LAN IP of my router to 192.168.2.1 from 1.1

Not sure if anyone still looks at this project, but if anyone has any advice for me that would be appreciated!

Make sure your rt2800 compatible wireless card works properly.
You can check this by typing "iw list" and "iw dev cardname scan | grep SSID". If success, you will find a 5Ghz SSID like "WIIU_xxxx". (Here, it just has no relationships with ip addr.)
I failed several times with a Ubuntu VM until i changed to a physical machine running ubunt1604. (launch server and client on the same machine. )
