Can the wii u gamepad be used by itself?

The GamePad controller has controls that look familiar to anyone who has ever used a DS or 3DS. However, it's not a freestanding device. You can take a Nintendo DS or 3DS anywhere, and it will work. If you separate the Wii U GamePad controller from the Wii U console, it won't work.

Can you extend the range of wii u gamepad?
There is no add-on to increase the range, and it is not recommended by Nintendo to do so. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata stated "if you place the Wii U console in something like a metal TV stand it may deflect the radio waves thus reducing its usable range."
