When I got the Wii U for Christmas in 2012, the gamepad was working fine. When I first played with the console I was able to play with the Wii U Gamepad from more than 20 feet away at least. I was even able to bring it up to my room and play with it at times. But throughout the following year I started noticing that I had to sit closer and closer to the console in order for it to connect, or the gamepad would freeze on its last memory and would say something like "The connection with the Wii U Console is unstable". I also started to get the message "The Connection with the Wii U Console has been lost" more and more frequently. Now, I find that I have to sit 3 feet in front of the T.V in order for the gamepad to work, and I need to make sure that I don't tilt the gamepad at all or it will freeze and throw up one of those error messages. Also, if there is anything in the way between the gamepad and the console, then the gamepad just freezes and then just throws up one of those messages. It's really a pain, and it makes some of the games that invove even slight tilting unplayable. I've tried putting the sensor bar up but that didn't work. I know the interference isn't a problem because I had the same devices out in 2012 and they didn't cause any problems with the connection. I also tried resetting the gamepad as well. Everything I've tried didn't work up to this point. This has been a problem I had for over a year now, so I want to see what other people think about this problem.
Thank You.
