Default wiiu needs to be close to the router

I noticed alot of error when i tried to update my wiiu.
A temporary solution was to put the wiiu withing a range of one meter from the console to the router that helpt me get through the update process

I'm pretty sure that's just you. My Wii U works fine.

I agree, my Wii U hooks up to the internet fine from at least 10 feet away and a computer in between.

My Wii U is on my second floor, my router in the basement. I have no problems with updates and downloads.

Maybe i have i ****ty router. my pc is nearly exact one meter away from the router and sometimes even my pc have problems connecting to the internet.

Added after 20 Hours 10 minutes:

I solved the problem by updateing my routers firmware.

The router I have is Linksys, and it works just fine. My Wii U is in the 2nd floor, while the router is on the first floor, about 50 feet apart from my bedroom to the router in the computer room.
