Just had this problem. Took computer to my guru's, who downloaded new driver for wireless. Appears to have worked. From my snooping around on various sites, this appears to be a common problem. If you have a computer guru, ask them to check the drivers (or check for driver yourself - I'm too lazy and/or inept). I have also read on-line that the wireless network adapters in general have a pretty high failure rate. Supposedly they are easy to replace - don't know that myself. Good luck! It's a nice product except for the occasional glitch.

Make sure the cable is connected as well that the actual wifi card is not loose. The board is only a switch not the actual wireless network adapter. These sometimes get loose when pulling the laptop apart. There is also two wires that connect to the antennas.

I have Wifi. I returned this product and bought a used microsoft adapter that worked flawlessly right out of the box.

I recently purchased Netgears N900 wireless router and am also having connectivity issues with my windows XP computer. I have trouble shot this from all the obvious angles, but in a nutshell, the wireless connection does not show availability in the available networks window from w/in XP. No issues with previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). All ideas, solutions would be greatly welcomed.

So, just to understand because I tried two USB n adapters on mine then took it back to BB.You are up and running wireless using the AirLink?Cool! I'll go get the unit again.

In my experience, the driver for this adapter is flaky. This adapter has a broadcom chip and broadcom does not seem to be addressing issues. It took them a long time to get a non beta driver out for Windows 8.1, which still seems to have issues in my experience. I am currently using a Asus adapter that has a ralink chip and it just works. It is n only though.

This laptop came with wireless problem and I didn't know how can I resolve it. I am not having a solution from Dell too, however I didn't have the opportunity in calling them.

I had some luck by downloading a driver and going into the Device Manager and changing the power saver message on the wireless card from Maximum to off. I haven't had time to use it much since then, but it was connecting at that point. Williebugs

Hi G Clark, We do not have that information since Acer did not specify the fixes made on its latest Wireless LAN driver. But the latest version is 10.0.0.225, dated March 18, 2013. Thanks, PCrush

We found that upgrading to Microsoft Windows 8.1 professional cleared up the issues with the wireless on this device. For some reason the wireless will drop unexpectedly with 8.0. We had to downgrade the installation from 8.1 home to 8.0 professional and that killed the wireless. A USB wireless adapter still wouldn't work either, nor did downloading the driver pack for the device from the Lenovo website while on 8.0. It seems the device drivers for the wireless controller(s) is(are) built for 8.1, so anything less than that renders the wireless inconsistent at best. Hope this helps.

If WiFi is not working, make sure you have updated your z87 drivers. In some cases, you can't even use your Ethernet port without updating mobo drivers. I would call Asus if issues persists after getting updated drivers. You might have to download the drivers onto an external in order to apply them if you're unable to connect to the internet. I am able to detect my Wireless networks with 3 bars, except my router is 4 feet away. So definitely attach the antenna that came along with it.

The wireless was a problem but now it is solved! Go to windows update and press custom. There is Atheros update there that solves the problem. Everyone is making this out to be a deal breaker but after updating with this I can go more than 35 feet from the hot spot and get "Very Good" reception.

You might want to try and remove the program and then reinstall it. Making sure that the adapter is not pluged in. If that does not work then you may need to contact the tech for the computer and not the wireless adapter.

I saw this same fix described on another site, and I was excited that it appeared I finally had a solution to my problem (which is that the wireless connection works fine on AC power but is spotty at best on battery power). Then when I went in and made this change and tried unplugging the AC, the problem was still there (maybe not quite as bad but still unacceptable). Mine is Vista though, not Linux btw.

I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit). Now, the dock works ok at my office but when I take ultrabook home and use it without the dock I cant get wifi to connect until I uninstall the drivers. So, yes it will work (make sure you get the correct drivers from DisplayLink website 1st) but you will have issues when not using the dock..I'm debating selling mine for this reason and sticking with the connection accessories that came with the uktrabook.Great Ultrabook by the way! Shame Asus cant ensure that their docks work with the own latest and greatest! I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit).

I don't I recall but I pretty sure I installed the asus driver. I did not install the wireless connection software because typically that software is not needed: windows does that natively.
