Does anyone know why I can't connect to any of my 5.4GHz wireless networks on this laptop?

We had an issue connecting and maintaining our network connections. I'm not sure what the specs were but I ended up contacting Dell and with a few members we eventually rectified the problem. Recommendation? I would contact Dell if you have not already.

Is the wifi settings on? Is there any networks for you to connect via wifi?

It is indeed 2.4 GHz. I bought one for my better half in August of 2013. Her only real issue was an initial delay while attempting to connect with our wireless. A little internet research solved the problem. I wish I could remember so I could tell you what the solution was. I *think* it had something to do with having drivers from two different vendors and eliminating one, maybe having to choose between Acer's vs the one from the wireless adapter's manufacturer. Sorry I can't recollect the correct solution. But again, to answer your question, 2.4 GHz is correct.

for asus n66r, works on 2.4 band the most. Does not do much for 5 Ghz but it did not hurt.

As Raman said, it should work fine. Just FYI, this laptop also comes with software called Killer Network Manager that monitors and (it claims) optimizes your wireless use.

I use my laptop on seven different WiFi areas I have no problems with any of them. They might have bad WiFi card or they need to up grade the WiFi software.

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.

I just found the 5GHz for the 1st time on my Samsung Galaxy S3...my 2 laptops don't see it either, but it doesn't matter, they work fine with the N600's 2.4...as we get newer stuff it will utilize the 5GHz...

Absolutely. I have had no problems connecting all manner of wireless items to this laptop.

Make sure your wi-fi is on on the Laptop/system, if it's on then just search from the list of routers available on your sustem, check the name given on back cover of router, enter password and it should work for you. Thanks, Tushar

If you're using the NSM M5 in AP mode, the Laptop would need to have a 5GHz radio inside it. However, if you were using the MSN5 in Station Mode (connecting to another AP) then it should work fine over ethernet.

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.

Haven't had any problems with two laptops working off the signal, so can't respond. Hope you can work it out.

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?

I own the ASUS RT-AC66U wireless router that it works fine with. Since my router is dual signal I really don't know if it is working on the 2.4 or 5 Ghz. I would assume it would work since it is a dual band adapter.
