Then why I've kept reading in reviews that the you can go very far from the console with the controller and still play flawlessly? I'm confused

I'm assuming that reviewers are playing the Wii U in the office and not in their homes, where they might have more stuff in the way. 
And also the OP is trying to do two different floors, and usually floors are at least 8 or so inches thick, so that can't be great for the connection.
