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.

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

I bought this for my wife. It went straight to wifi and seems to run fine. What kind of trouble are you having? I will help if I can

I purchased the Sony VAIO in early January 2014. I am not aware of the Wi-Fi issue with the prior model. However, I use my VAIO at home and work and I have had absolutely no issues with the Wi-Fi with the current model. It saw all my home Wi-Fi routers in the available connections list and I was able to connect with no issues. Has reliably connected without issues since day one. I hope that helps.

I bought it yesterday at Best Buy and had the same problem Janice L. Cox, M.Birch and Andrew had. After connecting to my wireless network, the device randomly disconnects, even when the rest of my devices are still connected to the wireless router without issues. Sometimes to reconnect I have to power-cycle the device altogether, or go to settings -> networking -> find my network again -> re-enter password.

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.

Have not had that problem. Check for updates. Are you sure it's not your internet router? Check your connections.

Yes....I do have prob with the wifi very badly...it is really not working in mine...when I got it checked in India I heard they saying it is due to partition problem...that they might have not done the partition properly.

You have to delete the factory wifi and then reinstall it by finding the answers online. Many tasks you have to do when its suppose to be working right out of the box.

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

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.

I have had mine for about 8 months and have not had any problems, check your router settings and also if it continues you should call the Asus help line.

mine was slow, wi-fi or not. Support is HORRIBLE. WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I returned the laptop because one of the keys didn't work, then they refused to fully refund because one of the keys didn't work. under fraud investigation. Don't get LENOVO

At first I didn't. But now it is directly connected to my laptop because the WiFi will not connect. My advice is stay away from this machine. You will be sorry you wasted your time, effort, and money on it. Its CRAP

I have not had that issue. Make sure you're current with updates from Lenovo.

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.
