Hardware How many specific files on the wii u affect gamepad connection?

[Quarra]

I’ve been swapping out sd cards as i get bigger sizes for my wii u, messing around with homebrew and all that and i noticed: my wii u game pad occasionally, temporarily loses connection to the console as i play with it. At first i thought it was something internal, but on a particular nand back up i accidentally removed the wrong files and i noticed the connection issue got even worse to the point it was barely useable. Luckily i had a back up and put them all back, figuring out there was one i was supposed to keep(duh). So now i’m wondering: is my gamepad’s connection still a bit wonky because i’m missing another file?

Hello, I’m having a similar issue. I extracted some files wrong or something trying to add home brew channel for the first time, and now I’m getting weird unstable connection issues. I saved my nand files from when I started the process though. Did you ever solve the issue?

I know this is hella late but to answer your question: nope. I never did figure it out. Did you?

Are you sure it's not interference from 5 Ghz routers nearby? I noticed that can happen despite my best efforts to segregate the radio channels.

I didn’t know that was a thing actually. Coincidentally my router does happen to be in the room next to my wii u, i just assumed it was from me messing with the files cuz it started a bit after one of my transfers to and from my pc. Tbh it doesn’t seem as bad as it was now so maybe that really is the case.
