Bought it, love everything by the wifi range. Anyone else experience this or do I have a dud? Thanks!

We have no issue at all. I have purchased two and a lenovo ThinkPad and no issues at all. Absolutely known. Maybe you need a signal booster for your location.

My WiFi range works on the third floor with the modem in the basement. That is a distance of at least 75 feet.

The wifi card is on the weak side. This is pretty much inherent tothe series. I've had mine for a year now, and it seems that after a few hours the signal is wobbly. I usually switch the wifi off for a few seconds then turn it back on; that seems to work a while but some days are better than others. I'm going to get one of those USB wifi dongles and see if that works.

You may have a dude. I have not had that problem. I do have a problem with my Word and Excel programs expiring...and I hate Windows 8!

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

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.

I have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.

Slightly but I would still stay away from this particular model and go with the newer version. When it was not in use and I turn on wifi it is quite slow connecting and I still can't use two wifi items without on being really slow. hope this got back to you in time

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.

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

exact same problem here. strangely, changing the channel of the wifi (manually) fixes the problem. that is a workaround but i don't want to work around... any ideas?

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

I actually have my router on the far end of the house. I don't have any issues whatsoever in the house and get full through put of my speed. I have had it several months now and LOVE it. Best router I have ever had. As I said....range has not been an issue and in fact my neighbor has complained that he gets a better signal from my wi-fi than his own in his house. LOL. Hope that helps.

It depends on what you mean when you say the "signal gets shoddy." I was unable to connect except on one spot on my fourth floor (with the main connection on the second floor). There was only one spot where I could get almost-consistent signal quality on the fourth floor until I got the Netgear WN3000RP, which I placed in that "sweet spot." I still have the rare dropout and I mean rare. My advice? Unless your signal is just completely lousy, try it. You can always return it.
