1. Get a router that can handle the demands of online gaming

- Having a high quality wifi router can make a big difference, if one can justify the cost. Below is a good guide. I use the Asus RT-AC68U and can verify it has excellent performance.

- If available on a router, QoS can be used which could improve gaming performance.

- If there are multiple devices using the internet during gaming sessions and the router has multiple bands (2.4ghz, 5ghz), it might be worth moving other devices to the 5ghz network so the Wii U has the 2.4ghz network to itself.
