My Wii U gamepad constantly looses contact with the console

[KelSolaar]

I'm sitting less than 2 meters away from my Wii U and there is nothing between me and the console. But my Pad often looses contact with the Wii U.
This is really frustratiing. Is there a way to increase the connectivity signal between the Wii U and the pad?

- Try changing the 5ghz channel of your WiFi router (or completely disable the 5ghz band for testing).
- Try having your mobile phone a few meters away from you while using the Wii U.

Does any of this help?

Yep I have also had this happen when my router was too near my WiiU or when my HDD was placed on top of my WiiU simply moving both a short distance away sorted the issue.

Thanks I will try this out. One of my access points is less than one meter away from my Wii U so that could probably interfer.
