Just to wrap up this issue, I was using the wrong password when trying to set up the security. When I realized that I was on line in minutes. My thanks to gadgetjq for your help.

Don,If you haven't already, turn your Wi-Fi system beacon on and let the laptop find it. Then you'll be prompted to enter your security information. Once that's done and you have a connection you can turn the beacon off. You won't need it again until you try to (easily) connect another machine. If a prompt doesn't pop up you can click on the little 'antenna' icon in the tray (next to the clock). In the dialog box that pops up click "refresh network list." Find your network, click on it, enter the security info and voila, you're done!Cheers

You have identified something I hadn't done. However, I cannot find anything that is identified as a beacon to be turned on and off. The Asus doesn't show an antenna icon either.When I try to use the automatic set up feature the Asus terminates with a message that it could not complete the installation with no further details. I am suspicious that my Network Key (MY1STREMOTE on the desktop) is 'illegal' on the Asus - in other attempts to manually set up the Asus I got a message that the Network Key has to have either 13 or 5 characters; 'MY1ST...' has 11. I guess I need to reset the Key on the desktop.I appreciate your offering your comments, and would appreciate any more you have. You have identified something I hadn't done.

My biggest issue right now is the wireless connection problems that are popping up.Asus, what are the chances of getting a different type/brand of wireless card for the UL line?

What would be the point of having a wireless router if you dont connect it to wireless. I could never get mine to work but i did work out why. Anyway, i did return it but they never (ooma) gave me a credit. I would not buy it.

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

Once the router is set up, it's the same as connecting it to any other wireless signal. The issue for us is that you need a static IP address for this router to work properly. Check your ISP to make sure you have this option. For us it was a lot more expensive. Have ended up abandoning the router.

Try redoing your wireless connection through your wireless router. I had mine loose its connection a couple of times. Never did figure out if it was the printer or my wireless router being a spazz. Had to go back and start all over and have the printer search for the right router, enter the security code for it and all that. I never could get it to run a scan and have it go wireless to my laptop. Or start the scan with my laptop. I always had to stick a SD card in it (the printer) and have the scan go to the card, then stick the card in my laptop and copy the scan off of it. Pain in the butt and round about way to do it but it worked. Good luck! Try redoing your wireless connection through your wireless router. I had mine loose its connection a couple of times.

download the instruction manual here http://www.ianker.com/anker-wireless-access-point-router/product/66UPWNWR-WU#imdyou have to connect to the router directly with an Ethernet cable and temporarily change your IP settings on the computer you are using to configure the router. then you can connect and the setup is very easy once you access the router.

It works great with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu while this wifi USB stick was plugged it. I did the install with a hardwire connection to the Net and had it install the updates which include some wifi support. After completing the install and updates, I unplugged the CatX cable from the PC and Ubuntu immediately found the ASUS wifi adapter and I connected to my wireless network without issue.

This laptop came with wireless problem and I didn't know how can I resolve it. I am not having a solution from Dell too, however I didn't have the opportunity in calling them.

Yes. I turned the computer on right out of the box and I was connected to the internet. I have a wireless router in my house. Except for the cursor issue, it is a great computer.

Hello, We have investigated the reported weak wireless signal on on the UL30 models. What I have learned is that the problem is extremely limited in breadth and should only affect a handful of units from the UL30A-A2 and UL30A-X5 models, no other UL series models. If you are affected, call 510-739-3777 for instructions (unit will need to be shipped back to ASUS, NOT Amazon). ASUS tech support will probably walk you through some troubleshooting to make sure it is not a setup issue, wireless is turned "on", etc, so please be patient. The issue is so limited in breadth that if you are having an issue, it is most likely NOT the card/firmware etc. When I say limited in breadth, I really mean it. It is amazing the noise that can be created around an issue that affects so few units. But that is the power of the internet. I appreciate everyone who has voiced their concern, this sort of feedback is great, and would have been invaluable had there been a widespread issue.

If you are using the wireless adaptor I had to change the encryption on my network to get it to successfully connect. I was using plain old WEP but had to set up WPA (Linksys WRT54g). After I made the change (and went through the hassle of updating all the Wifi devices in my house to connect to the newly configured network) I was able to connect OK.

Yes, as purchased my laptop was able to connect on WiFi. Some examples may not have a WiFi card -- ask the seller.
