Does it have wifi connection problems?? And does it overheat?? How noisy is the fan?

i haven't seen any overheat problem or wifi connection yet, and the fan is not noisy either, except it just makes a little noise when youshout it down. and also when you use the click it is a little loud. but you can use a wireless mouse. I hope it helps, and one more things is that I haven't used it for continuously more than an hour or 2.

I did not have problems with wifi connections and it didn't over heat until now! I just think this computer should have windows 7 instead of windows 8. But about other things it is a good computer.

Mine overheated constantly, I wouldn't recommend it if you'll have more than 3 or 4 devices connected to it.Infact I wouldn't recommend it at all.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

Not at all. It's just like a home computer. Runs off wifi. Just log in to your home acct or anywhere that has it, which is pretty much every where & ur good to go. I love the one I bought. Very happy

I have not had problems with wifi. Not the strongest radio but not terrible either. I have more than 10 of these and hadn't seen an issue.

I would advise you to return it. I went through the same thing. What I learned from an IT friend....I live in a townhouse complex, the wifi could not distinguish my wifi code due to so many other wifi subscribers near by. I do think he was correct in his evaluation. I gave the printer to my sibling. He lives in a home. No problem receiving a connection to his wifi subscriber. This meant no more off line nonsense. I hope that helps.

Yes, this laptop offers wifi connectivty BUT PLEASE DO NOT BUY THAT MACHINE!!! If you're purchasing a machine for a child or "high" school student then this machine which offers minimal performance is good. If you plan to use this machine for anything other homework or emailing - keep looking! This machine is a mess. Do not upload Wins 8.1 or you will lose 'all' bluetooth capability. You cannot surf the web, watch videos and use Office programs simultaneously. It will continually "shut -down" and restart. After a while it drags and lags so badly that you will want to throw it through a window.Look at ASUS, Lenovo, or HP for a true laptop experience.

This is not wireless. You connect it with an Ethernet cable. There would also be heat dissipation issues.

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 have issues as well. Drops connections for thermostats (Wifi) and other devices. Range mediocre as well. Will be replacing it. Linksys has gone downhill.

it has wireless card inside the PC tower, but not reliable. When I used it, the PC lost wireless connection every hours and I had to remove and connect it again. My laptop on the same room didn't have such problem.it is most possible to be the hardware issue

I purchased one of these for my parents, and in the 2 months they've owned it, the wireless has been fine. Everything has been fine. It's tough to judge any computer on its wireless ability. Wifi is one area of technology that's still plagued with problems and inconsistencies. I have no doubt that the router or modem was to blame in a good 1/2 of the reviews that you read. But yeah, no problems that we've seen.

Of course this computer has wifi. But I have to be honest with you, sometimes it disconnects suddently, and it is very frustrating. I think it is a manufactured problem. Have a great day.

wifi is fine. no issues with connectivity. I'm not a fan of win8 but I can use it fine on this laptop with no touchscreen.
