Is anyone else having WiFi issues with the laptop?

I bought mine in early December. I have had no issues at all, WiFi or otherwise (at home or at work). Works great!

Hey Paul. I recently bought this laptop for my aunt back in India. It certainly does have Wifi issues. Sometime i have to try around 5-6 times to get it connected . My aunt has also complained that it absolutely doesn't connect to the Wifi network in her office. But it seems to work well at their apartment, where they use it fairly close to the access point

I was, but I went to the Intel website and updated the WiFi driver. I haven't had it drop out on me in over 24 hours, which never happened before, so I can only assume it's fixed. Here's the link you'll need.http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

Yes , it does give problem sometimes. I have to restart or shut down for it to function normally!

I got the Lenovo U410 September build and the WIFI is fairly stable after installing the latest Intel driver. However, the WIFI range sucks! I tested this U410 laptop with my sister's HP A6 Vision side by side in the bedroom which is about 40 feet from the router, where the router was in the living room. It crawled at around 0.2 Mbps while my sister's HP was doing 2.6 Mbps. If I bring the laptop in the living room where the router is near, the signal and connection are good and constant, along with the speed. In the living room, both laptops get about 4.5 Mbps. Her ISP is capped at 5 Mbps. I got the Lenovo U410 September build and the WIFI is fairly stable after installing the latest Intel driver. However, the WIFI range sucks!

Yes, if the computer sleeps the wifi will not reconnect when it resume. In many cases, I need manually reconnect.

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

Yes ! I purchased one direct from Lenovo a month ago. It arrived from the factory and I could not connect to my wifi though I have numerous other items connected without a problem. After an hour with tech support I decided to send it back. Google Lenovo wifi problems. The problems go back years. This deserves a class action lawsuit under the federal warranty.

No issues with the WiFi connection for me. Awesome laptop overall. Best screen I've ever seen.

mine was slow, wi-fi or not. Support is HORRIBLE. WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I returned the laptop because one of the keys didn't work, then they refused to fully refund because one of the keys didn't work. under fraud investigation. Don't get LENOVO

Yes, the wifi driver is messed up. Type a google search for Acer Aspire V5-571P getting limited wifi access. You will find forums that talk all about it. They provide links on what to do to download the new driver. You will also want to make sure that you get into you device manager on the PC and disable any blue tooth drivers that are currently enabled. They mess with the wifi getting limited access as well.

My biggest issue right now is the wireless connection problems that are popping up.Asus, what are the chances of getting a different type/brand of wireless card for the UL line?

I too just had this start up this past week. I've had to jiggle and reinsert the plug to see if the connection will take. My laptop is only a couple months old, so I'll be calling to see what my options are for fix or repair.

Got a lemon here too. WiFi reception is so bad that most public hotspots don't work. Sent it back and they said there was nothing wrong. Now expect to be receiving a broken laptop in a couple of days. Their customer service was horrible and I was treated like a know-nothing idiot by every 1st level support person I spoke with. I will never buy Asus again. Don't waste your money or your time.

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

wifi problem was solved by following instructions and downloading the updated drivers for the NIC. If you can not do that then buy a 10 dollar usb NIC and problem solved. I bought my laptop last feb 14th for my wife and she loves it, the problem is not the router but the brand of network adaptor in the laptop and the maker put out new drivers that fix the reported problem. hope this helps

There is no problem with Wifi. I own a UL30 and it's been working well. Just FYI

Apparently there was a bad batch of tablets that left the factory. Both units that I purchased for work experienced that issue, you will have to go through their troubleshooting with an Acer rep, but they will end up replacing the device or repairing it most likely. You need to call their support if downloading and updating the wifi device drivers from the Acer site doesnt fix the problem.

My wifi often drops on this lenovo when I close the laptop (sleep mode). Sometimes the only way I can get it back is to restart the computer

Yes, pretty severely too. When even the docking station is active it disrupts the wifi on our laptops and smartphones down to a trickle of service.

I have issues as well. Drops connections for thermostats (Wifi) and other devices. Range mediocre as well. Will be replacing it. Linksys has gone downhill.
