You have to buy an adapter for it. How insane is that?

MK8 DLC live yet?

It's kind of silly that it's just not there. Pretty standard thing to have on s console.

WiFi on my WiiU was brutal even though everywhere else in the house was fine. I bought the adapter and it has been smooth sailing since.

Yeah obviously there is a crap wireless card in the thing. Where do I get the adapter?? because my wii u will be in the basement soon even further away from my router.

The one I got was called the Wii LAN adapter from the Nintendo Store. They don't stock it anymore. There are some off-brand ones that you can get find, but I remember reading that the Nintendo one worked the best. Ebay is probably your best bet.

Just get the Wii LAN adapter.

You can order them from Nintendo's site, I don't know if Gamestops have them in or if they deal mostly in third party.

The third party is way cheaper (like $10 opposed to $50/60) but I've heard those are a complete "YMMV" situation.
