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

i DO have wifi problems. WOn't connect more than a few feet away from the router....and it's the INTEL card.

i have this same question. i wish someone would hurry up and post a review.

thats good to hear. thank you!UPDATE: I have now received my ASUS UL-20 and i can confirm that there are no wi-fi problems. i have a very strong signal that has not dropped once.

have you tested at different distances from your router? which card do you have (there are two).

Yes. Wi-Fi IS a problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and could not get the Wi-Fi to connect. I continued to download drivers etc. It was frustrating but I eventually got around the problem. I wish I could elaborate but I set up the laptop months ago. Once you get it to work I haven't experienced any of the "spotty" problems. It connects on startup and doesn't lose it. If you're fine with the typical bloatwear that comes with a laptop I don't think you'll have a problem.

I haven't had problems with wifi. You may want to see if you have the latest software for it.

I have had no wifi performance issues to date. The power chord is actually better than the Dell equipment, as in it is a longer chord. However, it isn't a large gauge. I'm very satisfied with the laptop and have not had any issues to date unlike the Dell Inspiron that I returned after malfunctions and crappy customer service.

Haven't had any problems with two laptops working off the signal, so can't respond. Hope you can work it out.

I use my laptop on seven different WiFi areas I have no problems with any of them. They might have bad WiFi card or they need to up grade the WiFi software.

Hopefully Mr. ASUS can give us an update. He was very active in the UL30VT thread so we'll see if he responds here as well.

My question as well. I would be all over this one even without Bluetooth or the backlit keyboard if there were more reviews. Now there is a second review but it's for the guy's client, and contributes nothing. I want to hear feedback about the wifi card's connectivity issues, if any.

Thanks ASUS, your input is always appreciated. I saw the official specs for the UL30vt and I am excited and my CC is equally excited. It is ready whenever Amazon posts the preorder product page.For others here it is http://gdgt.com/asus/ul30vt/specs/

mine has great connectivity. i have no problems with my wifi connection. signal strength although sometimes are not good but this is due to the signal strength of the provider i connect to.

No recall, these companies are too cheap to do that. As far as hardware issues, the Intel Wireless 7260 series just seems bad. Even with the latest drivers I would steer clear of it. I've been running Linux instead of Windows on the SVP and it's behaved itself but I have a Dell M3800 as well for work that uses this same wireless chipset. That laptop completely fails to connect with wireless if you've woken it from sleep. This is with the August 2014 drivers. I'd say just skip this generation of ultrabooks if you can.

Hello,What is the problem with the wifi?I don´t have any problem.Tell me what happens please

Can anyone confirm whether or not the ul30vt-x1 can really handle 8gb of RAM? I want to preorder the a1 but the thought that the x1 can handle twice the RAM "supposedly" is making me hold off until this can be verified. I know that amazon has it listed as such, but I have my doubts considering I cannot find anything else that supports that claim. The ASUS website only lists it as support up to 4gb. Any help would be appreciated at this point from anyone. I have not been able to find anything else out from any of the other ul30vt forums on the internet.

No. The wifi is pretty bad. My wifi will only work if I disable the inbuilt wifi card the computer comes with and plug in a usb wifi adapter (a dongle). Lots of people have the same issue.

Yes. My internet has gone down a couple of times. When it comes back up everything works fine ( wired computer & wireless laptop). Never had a problem with this router. I love it and the internal hard drive is amazing. For the price it's a great wifi router. I highly recommend this product.

Our household has 7 People and the following devices: 4 apple laptops, 2 I-pads, 3 Intel/windows based NetBooks, 4 Intel based computers and a few I-phones and none of us have had issue's using this router. And the newer tablets are supposed to automatically connect using the 5GHZ band, which none of us have newer products that use this band....yet.Hope this helps.

The N300 is a faster router with better band. The N150R works fine it just limited on reach. Mine does not get connection in my garage. As stated by someone else it works fine for gaming when its in the same room I've never had problems on pc gaming or xbox one gaming
