Interesting to note that if it does use wifi-n as the transmitter from WiiU to Gamepad, you should have no issue using it through entire home.

To me that pretty fucking awesome.


I was looking at wiki trying to compare the range of bluetooth vs wifi but I didn't really understand which class of bluetooth to compare it to, etc..

I stumbled upon this sentence though which makes me happier that they went with wifi.


"Wi-Fi uses the same radio frequencies as Bluetooth, but with higher power, resulting in higher bit rates and better range from the base station."

What is the difference between wifi-n and wifi? I didn't get too many sites to pull up from Google but I did find this which seems to be the site I should look at.  Sorry it is a Best Buy site but the top two wiki sites mainly had a bunch of numbers in it (one with N) when doing a wireless n search.  I assume it is just a better version of wifi (kind of like usb 2.0 compared to 1.0).
