I've just ordered this item...I'll update my comment as soon as it arrives and I get a chance to test the wireless. It's supposed to arrive in 3-5 weeks

I can't answer this will all certainty but from what i've read on the internet - cnet reviews, amazon reviews etc. Lenovo support is apparently well aware of this issue and they haven't fixed it in U410, this particular series either. The most likely answer upon calling tech support is that you send it in for a replacement, which is putting me off from buying this model yet :( Also, the issue is supposedly observed in 1 out of 5 pieces, so i guess we won't be able to tell based on just a few answers :-/

It is if the manufacture date is after July 23, 2013. I just ordered mine and it should arrive in a few days. I'm not expecting it to be a newer model, but we'll see. I'll update my comment when I find out.

No not on my model. .... It is 13.3 inch. Turned off 802.11n and settled for slower throughput

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.

WiFi with this latest model seems to be very good. I have had no connection loss issues either at home or while away in use at a motel.

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.

Sony is notorious for having wifi issues. I believe there is an update that will address some of these issues. Good luck..

No, this wireless card issue has not been addressed in the version of the computer that I have. I have my computer one floor and several walls from the router and the internal wireless just doesn't have enough power to supply what I need. I have instead put a USB wireless N adapter on. That has served me well so far and the USB adapter isn't expensive. I will say that other than the wireless thing, I am very satisfied with this computer. It has a lot of power for the money.

First place your finger on the WiFi signal bar and hold it. It sould come up with a statement, troubleshoot WiFi. Let the Asus do it's thing and it should correct the problem. I am sure you have but make sure the security code is right for the wireless modem. I have used mine on several different WiFi locations and once or twice I had to troubleshoot, it corrected by itself. Other than that no problems.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

Honestly the one I received was absolutely terrible in both internet speed when it was able to connect... Which was barely ever. I'm sure you are able to considering it is xp but good luck getting a better model than me.

I have not had the problem at all and I have used my new MBA extensively (several hours every day) on wifi for about 6 weeks. I believe it was fixed by a software update from Apple.

As far as I know, neither. It is WiFi only. Another model might have that capability.

Well, Fortunately I do not have big issue with it,ya some times it does drop wifi when signal is weak but in office where signal strenght is good it doesn't drop it.so I guess it is good.After update to 2.3.4 couple of times phone got lil slow in terms of response when I close any games I played & try to go to other application immediately, not sure it is normal but after restarting phone it is all fine as of now.let seeThanks,Hemant

Have had mine since March and only WIFI problems have been with router from X-finite. My only word of advice is to get help from qualified HP support personnel. Many claim to have the technical capability but many do not.
