See, I did not blame the wireless. I blamed the connection of the wireless to the wii-U. That could be many many things, and not all devices are created equal. Just because one device can connect at certain setting and get good results does not mean that all can, and it certianly does not mean that the device can operate 100% of internet functions (Think having to forward ports to host a game, or creating specail firewall permissions) . The fact is that the problem could be many many things, anyhting from local servers, your local configuration of your network, the wii u itself is getting a bad write rate to the harddrive, your just donwloading at congested times, etc....  However this problem is not universal as other forum members have pointed out. 



So why is the wiiu browser noticeably faster than my upstairs PC?

Why is netflix always HD and never lag on WiiU, while it may lag rarely on upstairs?

Sorry, but it has nothing to do with my house.

Just using the WiiU shows there is a massive difference in how it works with the internet and its own services. Its definitely something on Nintendo's side of the fence.


Did you even read my post? I did not say that it 100% had to do with your house. Wow, come to think of it, its obvious you did not read my post at all. Never mind have fun being angry and not solving your issue. 

I read your post. You basically said it could be many number of things. I provided examples ruling out some of those and saying the evidence shows it has to be something on nintendo's side of the fence.

That could be its internal memory and thus maybe somewhat fixed with an external drive.

It could be just bad timing as many others were downloading the same game. But since it seems to be universally slow at downloading any content... idk.

It could servers and the lack of them in my area. That would also explain some users having great experiences where others do not. I know from miiverse I'm clearly not the only one. Maybe my nearest one is in LA and just way congested. Well those cheap bastards need to put more out for my region.

I really don't know. All I do know is I never felt like it was horrible with PS3 and doubt it will exist with other consoles. Nintendo does things differently and has proven time and time again that their compentence is not in general technology, but games. They really need help in this infrastructure as it always seems to suck at launch... in fact I'd argue WiiU has been the worst yet.
