With only 2.4ghz connectivity, how does it perform online? Any connectivity issues or lag? Thanks in advance.

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

No I did not find any problem with connectivity so far. Said that I use it probably a couple of hours max per day.

What do you want to do with it online? It downloads web pages quickly and streams on-line video without any lag compared to my 8 core Desktop machine.

I am considering buying one of these desktops, just can't choose between the 2.0 or 2.4GHz models....I am not a hardcore gamer, mainly graphics programs and word processing, and some blog editing, but will the computer play FIFA 2008 and Sims 2?

It is. Both my sons share this connection & play online games with no lag & very low dropped packets.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.

I haven't noticed any lag and my games worked perfectly. I'm using one of the HDMI slots. I haven't switched to Game Mode (to my knowledge) as suggested in the other response, but will try that to see if that makes a difference. Very happy with this Samsung.

My question as well. I would be all over this one even without Bluetooth or the backlit keyboard if there were more reviews. Now there is a second review but it's for the guy's client, and contributes nothing. I want to hear feedback about the wifi card's connectivity issues, if any.

I have not noticed any lag with mine it works really well. No issues so far.

I found this on a Yoga forum regarding dual band: Re: Ideapad Yoga 13 can't see 5Ghz network Options &#8206;10-30-2012 07:05 AM All, I appreciate the discussion here. I sent a quick note off to our engineering team and received confirmation that we support the 2.4Ghz band, but not 5Ghz on Yoga - so it is working as designed in that regard. I am listening to concerns about range and affects of orientation on connectivity and wifi speed. As the discussion continues, I appreciate any feedback on your observed wifi results (speed vs distance from router) in different locations, and what routers you are connecting to (where known, like your home) Thanks Mark ____________________________________________ ThinkPads: S30, T43, X60t, X1, W700ds, IdeaPad Y710, IdeaCentre: A300, IdeaPad K1 Mark Hopkins Program Manager, Lenovo Social Media (Services)

Had same concern, my order went through as a 2.4 Ghz unit. You might want to contact seller to be 100% sure.

I don't play games much either. But I also have AT&T; and I experienced some lag playing online games. This little adapter helps, but if the games your playing require more speed than you may have to upgrade your service. Sorry wish I could tell you more.

Runs fine on mine. The graphics card combined with the elite network card... runs it like a champ.

There is a bit of lag, depends on your speed, other than that there should be no problem. When I had satellite, the only problem I had was monitoring my data so I didn't go over the fair policy cap.

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.

Kind of a vague question...I haven't had any issues as of yet. Range seems good, but that can depend on the WiFi source and how many others are connected.

Well, Fortunately I do not have big issue with it,ya some times it does drop wifi when signal is weak but in office where signal strenght is good it doesn't drop it.so I guess it is good.After update to 2.3.4 couple of times phone got lil slow in terms of response when I close any games I played & try to go to other application immediately, not sure it is normal but after restarting phone it is all fine as of now.let seeThanks,Hemant

I would recommend faster internet than DSL for online gaming, like cable internet. If your stuck with DSL like I am tho, this modem does work great. Its a much more stable connection than what AT&T sold me and works really good with my Asus RT-AC68U.

i have not tried the "Game Mode" but latency / lag didn't seem bad when I used HDMI cable from my laptop. Of course the HDMI limitation slows it down a lot but I will test it more when HDMI 2.0 update is released.
