Does the i7 model comes with dual band wifi adapter? Eg. 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz.

I just bought this model yesterday (1/28) @ Bestbuy and the AC Wireless works well and does support both 2.4 / 5 ghz bands. I was connected at 240 mbps with only 3/5 bars signal strength and had no issues at all (unsure of what the difs are between the bestbuy version and the amazon product featured here)

I just bought this configuration at Best Buy yesterday and I can confirm that mine includes the Intel dual band wireless AC card. My system was manufactured in June 2014. I do not know if the version offered here has the new card or not. The remainign specs are the same (i7, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD, ...).

Upgrade to 802.11ac is only about 30 bucks and is a simple install. (Yes, OEM is 802.11b,g,n single radio 2.4Ghz).

As I just posed, the model I just picked up at best buy has Core I7 4510 CPU and Dual Band Wireless AC. This is a newer revision as all previous models had the 7260bgn single band card.

No, it does not dual wifi, only 2.4 band. No, it does not have an illuminated keyboard.

I cannot answer that. I bought the ea3500 dual band. Mine does not have the experiment with network option.

No, but the adapter runs really well. Surprisingly well. Most towers don't really have a built in wireless router anyway.

No, i7 does not support any dual-chip configuration whatsoever, it's a built-in limitation of the i series processors (not the motherboard mfg's). There is a relatively equivalent xeon processor with a lower clock, but certain xeon series (e5) do support multiple CPU configs.

from everything i'm reading it does not have 5ghz support, but i'm curious if anyone has upgraded the wireless card to dual band using hardware such as the intel 6235 card. if so, i'm wondering if the a new antenna needs to be run up the side of the screen or if it is simple plug and play (i.e. replace old card, pop in new card).

It does not come with a wireless card, but it has antennas for a half PCIe card ready to go. Throw something like the Intel 7260 in there and you are covered for dual band a/b/g/n/ac wifi and bluetooth 4.0.

You can also upgrade the wireless to dual ac bands i did order intel ac wireless card once its done and working perfectly i will confirm with the intel wireless card type.////Update:Upgrading the wireless is must thing!!, Once i used the tablet to test the internet speed i didn't believe how slow it is I have 100mb line the speed test just gave me 10mb and after upgrading the wireless card to Intel AC 7260 card i got amazing lighting speed 100mb. The price for brand new Intel AC 7260 is less than 25$!.

I don't know for certain, but I am inclined to believe it does not support 5Ghz. I have several bands of wireless in my home, including 5ghz, but when I look at the wireless connections found by the laptop, it is only showing me the 2.4Ghz connections. If there is a way, I'd like to know. Generally, if I'm on a device that recognizes all bands, it will show the 5ghz.

no this model does not have wifi. I believe some following models have.i personally bought it because it does not have it.

The 5 supports dual band wifi and has additional hardware improvements I believe. They look the same and both work great. You can find additional comparisons online.

It does come with a built-in internal wifi adapter. The device manager says, "Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC"

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

Sorry if this question seems stupid but could anyone tell me if this model has Wi-Fi capability?

Should be same model but NEWSFLASH: The Best Buy version has a newer CPU and Wireless AC Card in it. Checked the side of my box as I was about to return and noticed it has a Core i74510 and Wirless AC dual band card in it. Very Happy as I was about to return it based on all the feedback from review forums

I7 is amazing and I'm not sure about specs for older but mine is really fast because it's 8 gigs of ram. I believe it's around 3.7ghz. I prefer newer up to date items as well because of bug fixes. I'm sure you could find a c
