Is there anyway to boost the signal?

Loving the streaming of netflix to the device, but if only it could reach the other room.

I believe it is a kind of Wifi signal but not exactly the same as normal Wifi. I have looked high and low for an answer on boosting signal to no avail as yet. I have tried to move my unit so improve things, best to have it away from walls and other obstructions but this has had limited results. I would hope that a solution comes out eventually...

I thought it was Bluetooth rather than wifi. The functionality of the Wii U controller would suggest it is at least v3.0 but possibly v.4.0

It's Bluetooth.

Its not, its a customised version of Wi-Fi direct

There has been hints that some sort of signal extender may be possible in the future, but we'll probably be waiting a long time (if ever)

It's definitely wi-fi but uses a different frequency than standard wireless routers to try and avoid conflicts.
The range on mine is pretty poor, only get about 2 metres reliably so I really hope there's a software update coming to improve this.

The range on ours is at least 30 feet.

Hardly! On a TV cabinet with AV receiver, PS3, NAS, Freeview Box, Wireless Router, and TV. Sofa is about 1.5m away and sometimes if I put my hand in between the controller and console it will lose connection

My Wiiu is in a spare upstairs bedroom & i play it in the living room downstairs (using the gamepad) without any problems whatsoever ... Maybe ya machine is faulty?
