Wifi signal is spotty. Comes and goes. My router is new. I'm paying for the fastest service. Is it a driver issue or does the wireless card stink?

I believe it is the wireless card. I had trouble with mine and was told to hard wire to the computer.

I live in a large concrete home and get a good signal all over the house. Even outside or downstairs in my shop thru 4" solid concrete floor. You might try another laptop to isolate whether it is the laptop or the router.

Definitely less than that. Currently it is having trouble picking up on the Wi-Fi in my home. I bought another adapter by HornetTek that is working much better although it's a bit bulkier. I believe my HornetTek adapter is supposed to get up to 300 or 400mbps. Remember this is just an estimate of speed the adapter can take in. It really depends on the speed of the Wi-Fi you are using.

there are better options, I know this could be cheap, but it's not a good option. If you could, try to move the router closer to the place that you want, if can't, maybe could look for a better wifi repeater.

i have had lots of issues with the router. i would sit outside with my iphone controlling my music via apple tv and the connection to the wifi would drop. i was sitting maybe 30 ft away. also the router need to be reset a lot. i would have to unplug and plug back in to get it to reset. The speed is fine. Not sure if you should buy this router, though i don't have any recommendations. i am connected to a Time Warner cable modem.

I didn't have this issue with this product but I have had this issue in my home with another adapter. I had to call the company that I use as my internet provider and have them turn off the hot spot in my home. The hot spot signals were conflicting with my Wifi signal causing the computer to have an unsteady signal.

Me too, the 655 seems to suck. I upgraded router, desktop cards and USB adapters because their marketing claims rave about better range, even calling the USB adapter an "Extreme Range extender". What a load of crap. So far signal strength is lower and less stable than the old G parts (also D-link).Wish I'd kept my receipts and not waited a couple months to install these because they appear to be a complete waste of hundred$.

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

Yes, common issue. I had the same problem. I bought one of these and installed it:7260NGW Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0Now, this will void your warranty if you send it in with this card installed, so make sure you save your old card and have it installed if you have to send it in for warranty. Other than that, it's been perfect with wireless ever since I swapped out the new one.Why they didn't install the better card in the first place, I don't know. It's only like a $10 difference between the two. Yes, common issue. I had the same problem.

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.

Mine is with in 20 feet of my wifi router and gets about 50-60% signal.. it's not super bad, but it's not all that great either.

Just by looking at network status in windows i'm getting 877Mb/s. I don't know how accurate windows is. The router is located about 10m away through 2 walls. I run 9 wireless devices from it, streaming movies to all these devices is not an issue which is why I purchased it. I also have the matching network card connected to my main server which gives me a 5Ghz pipeline.

Hi, My advice is to return that piece of garbage,I bought it but I installed like a month and a half after, the worse router I ever had, very poor signal range, connection drops constantly, I tried to return it but it was too late, I threw 70 bucks to the garbage, if you can, again stay away from that router it will give you many headaches. It is the last time I buy a Netgear product. Good luck!

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

Yes the wifi is not exactly easy. It takes some time to set up. I actually just use the USB these days since it's faster.

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

Yup I never had an issue with mine. I live in a two story apartment, router upstairs and pc downstairs. I get 4-5 bars of signal strength all the time
