I picked up this Wii U WUP-901(02) model. Very little information on the web.
Found some here: https://www.lucklessheaven.com/wii-u-hardware
It says it was used for certain events. It has two ports on the back. This one has an antenna on one of them.
The write up claims it is for "wired Wii U Gamepads to connect to"
Not much else on the web.
I was wondering if anyone had information about this model and how to use it with more than one gamepad (not Wiimotes)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
P.S. New here but can't find how to post pictures of the console.
Wow this is really rare. Amazing that you found one. You might want to contact the person who did the Wii U pages on Luckless Heaven seeing as there isn't actually a proper image for this console. There's also some people on the Homebrew Discord who would probably find it interesting. The cable port looks kind of like it could connect to a WIS-003 gamepad. Not sure what the chunky antenna is for. Possibly for longer range communication with the gamepad for live demo events? I can't think of any off the top of my head, but if the normal gamepad disconnects about 5 metres away from the console, you'd want one that can stay connected while on a stage for example.
Basically, if I had to guess it'd be a multi-purpose event console for long range and wired gamepad communication.
Also, not sure if you're still gonna see this, but I recently remembered this post and thought it best to mention that you should attempt to modify the console and upload its information via WiiUident, and also make sure you back up the system and look for any cool event or developer tools/applications.
