I recently bought the Wii U. Im an avid Nintendo supporter but this is the first time I'm absolutely frustrated beyond reason with one of their systems. Heres is my consoles problem:

The online connection is extremely faulty. I can connect to MiiVerse and the internet browser just fine but when I try to open Netflix it says its unable to connect. When I open LoveFilm is says an internet connection is required (how does that make sense if I'm clearly able to get on MiiVerse?). When I go to the Wii menu to download the Wii transfer app Im presented with error code 209600. Why am I able to connect to MiiVerse and the internet browser but none of the other apps? Its driving me crazy.

I have tried power cycling my modem/router and even moved my Wii U console to the same room as my modem/router. I even tried disconnecting all my other wireless devices to free up bandwidth. Still, nothing changed.

Heres whats even more frustrating, everything else I own (playstation 3, wii, laptop) all connects completely fine. Its only my Wii U that is acting up.

Is anyone else experiancing the same thing or have advice apart from sending it in to nintendo? Ive read a lot of stories of Wii U's being sent to Nintendo for repairs and coming back with only the same or a different issue.

You could maybe try the wii U LAN adapter, maybe a wired connection could solve your problems if that's a possiblity for you.
I think the wireless signal strength in the U is very low, which is very sad considering how many people's home's are set up with wireless networks these days.
I have to move my console to our family room to download any updates because in the bedroom the connection will drop instantly after connecting to the internet, and this is in a fairly small house.
It's kind of frustrating since my other consoles have no problems connecting and staying connected to the network.

I have this issue with Hulu only. Haven't fixed it, though.
