Wii U Gamepad losing connection

[Raze]

Hey Wii U owners,

Anyone esle having issues with the gamepad losing connection with the console? I've had this happen from my normal playing distance, where it used to be fine. Cut the distance to 6 feet away, still doing it. I'm not sure of my gamepad is being fully charged. The red charging light goes off after about 30 minutes. I thought when it was charged fully it turned blue in the past, but I can't remember.

I'm trying to play AC: Black Flag, but it's making it pretty frustrating to lose connection in mid combat.

Just curious if other people are experiencing this too, and if so, how you resolved it. Thanks!
