I've been having this problem for a while. I used a Wi-Fi repeater/extender but it drops intermittently and I just got sick of it eventually.

Are all Wii U's like this? I have my Wii right beside it (Its fully off, so I know theres no interferance) and I can easily watch netflix all day without it dropping. Without my Wi-Fi extender I'm lucky if the Wii U even get on netflix, assuming the extender doesn't drop me mid view. All my other devices work fine at the location where I put my Wii U.

I'm starting to think if I should take it to Nintendo to address the issue. Does anyone feel like the Wii U's wifi reciever just sucks, or is it just me?

Yeah, i've had this issue for a while. They told me it was where my Wii U was located, yet EVERY OTHER DEVICE has no issues, so I think it's a problem with the manufacturing, as I know others have had the same issues though we seem to be a minority


Games that refuse to use Gameplay effectively to do anything are like films that refuse to use cinematography in film to do anything.

Thanks for the feedback. I will have to give Nintendo a call I guess.
