nah... I'm ok with its range. I was using all throughout my first floor, but it doesn't work on my 2nd floor (bedrooms). More than likely the front room or computer room (downstairs) is more than enough for me and my family. Fact is no other console can even do that.
My only gripe right now is that Nintendo didn't make every game that uses the gamepad and doesn't require a touch screen work with the pro-controller. Seems lazy and stupid to not have that automatic.
Take NSMBU for instance. I can use the gamepad, but it has a short battery life and no value from the screen unless I'm not using TV at all. I can use a wiimote but have wasted money due to batteries. However, I can't use the pro controller that has massive rechargeable batteries. Its just dumb. I also should be able to use pro-controller in place of wiimote/classic controller for VC titles. but no... stuck with the damn batteries in wiimotes.
EDIT: Just thought of something.... does NSMBU require motion for something? That maybe what I'm missing. However, the other half of that issue is I can't use the gamepad in 2-4 player mode without it being 'helper' only. I'd rather use it and a wiimote that 2-4 wiimotes for same battery concerns.
