Yes, you have to turn on the WiFi and the Bluetooth wireless capabilities. To do this, hold down the Fn key (lower left) and then tap the F11 key. As you're tapping F11 (and keeping Fn pressed), it will cycle through four settings: WiFi-off, Bluetooth-off WiFi-off, Bluetooth-on WiFi-on, Bluetooth-off WiFi-on, Bluetooth-on You can tell what's off and on by looking at the LED lights on the lower right of the keyboard. The first light is the Bluetooth indicator and will shine blue when Bluetooth is enabled. The second light is the WiFi indicator and will shine green when WiFi is enabled. Regards, Joe

I agree with W.Beckles. Note: check your N router, also, some only work well withWindows 7

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.

I currently use this board with PClinuxOS (my main, and preferred OS) and have had no problems with it. I have not used the wireless because I am close enough to my router to use a cable, but it does detect my network so I assume it should work fine. I can't speak to the performance of the onboard video because I use an nvidia card, but it is supported as far as I know.

Either check your mSATA slot to see what's compatible with it (better) or check the list of compatible devices for IEEE 6230 802.11n and see if yours is listed?Mine is ASUS NS53SV and it works fine with it. The previous one didn't do Bluetooth and 5 GHz band which was the reason for replacement.

I'm also using win7x64. Broadcom driver version 6.32.223.1 dated 8/22/2013, which is the version available from asus's website. I have had no problems on the 2.4GHz band. One potential difference is that I did not install Turbo LAN. I'm not sure if it even does anything for wireless connections, but in my experience added software can sometimes cause problems.

This mobo does not have wireless installed, so you would have to go the PCI-E route. If this is for gaming purposes, I wouldn't worry about Wifi. Just go with an Ethernet cable, but you will have to install the drivers from the disc provided with the mobo. At least I had to.

Sorry, Douglas, I have the wireless disconnected as it is connected via Ethernet cable. I'm out of town and can't check on it.

Sure, but we still can't connect via our wireless network. I've sent it back to gateway after we refreshed and reset the PC. After a week they replaced a part and sent back to us.....we still can't use the wireless network.

Plug right in to an ethernet network. But, my wireless works great. Something else is going on. Maybe your internet connect or wireless router.

there was a mistake. I remember asus uploaded a firmware that wasnt for the R1 but instead for the AIR version. google is your friend and it will help you find it, many people upgraded it and got the wireless option, the very same that youre asking for; the problem is that some people got bricks or problems for using that firmware. also you should try and see if other wlan sticks function

Sorry to break it to you but the Asus Zenbook does not support Widi. It doesn't use an Intel wireless card, instead it uses Qualcomm's Atheros wifi card. This was also a feature that I wanted but realized that I wouldn't be using it all that much. Plus you would have to buy an adapter, it would be a hassle in my opinion. I'm okay with plugging in a $3 micro-hdmi to hdmi cable.

I was wondering the same thing, but it seems like there might be support for it. This page specifically mentions Wireless 7260: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi

Neither the Y400 or the Y500 support WiDi (wireless display) per Lenovo's website. http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/ideapad/y-series/?menu-id=learn&ref-id=learn

Sorry for the late reply. To answer your question, I'm not sure. But I have no issues with the wireless card so far.

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.

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.
