I can't imagine an update could improve the WiFi range.

You know, on my wifi router a have an option in the settings where I can change the power of wifi signal from 10% to 100%. If its possible with a router, why is it not possible in a WiiU?

I suppose. I never thought of increasing the power output to it. I don't know why they wouldn't have the output higher in the first place. I wonder if Nintendo really has increased the power to CPU, GPU and/or WiFi? Since the system is rated for 75W and was only using about 33W with a demanding game running, it really is possible I guess. I'd love to know if their's any truth, I wonder if anyone has tested the power draw post-update.

I wouldn't think it would literally boost the power. But it might improve error correction in the signal, or just improve tolerances. For example, if the signal gets too noisy, it might just drop a frame that didn't transfer cleanly instead of immediately throwing up the connection problem screen.
