Is wireless connection issues a common problem? Is a wireless card required? I can't get past "connecting" to our wireless w/ strong signal showing.

Older networks used to be OK, and a wireless card should not be needed. I have done it in the past. But the only encryption my Axim X51v (with Windows Mobile 5.0 OS) accepts is WEP. This may still be in use in public places such as hotels, coffee shops, etc., but I can not get mine to connect at home using my networks WPA encryption. I have not tried to connect through my iPhone nor Notebook using Bluetooth, that may be a viable option.

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!

I have had this same problem. I am not exactly sure but for some reason it seems like it is conflicting with something ( if your using it wirelessly ). I had to factory reset my unit on the control panel and re-enter all my info and it fixed the problem.

Check the speed of wi-fi conection maybe it is too slow. I have not had any trouble with this computer it works just fine.

Wireless connection has not been successful for me. I have mine on an ethernet connection, and that is working out. I do have to connect via USB to configure the printer, however. The setup is kind of kludgy, but it works. It does require an intel-based mac to have full functionality, but will work with older models using a generic postscript driver.

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

Yes. Wi-Fi IS a problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and could not get the Wi-Fi to connect. I continued to download drivers etc. It was frustrating but I eventually got around the problem. I wish I could elaborate but I set up the laptop months ago. Once you get it to work I haven't experienced any of the "spotty" problems. It connects on startup and doesn't lose it. If you're fine with the typical bloatwear that comes with a laptop I don't think you'll have a problem.

Don't buy wireless set up isn't simple? I tried for 2 hours got it as a challenge even reviews were about this topic and it's difficulty.

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.

Sorry for the delay. Have you been able to connect? My wife hit connect and typed in password and it connected right to our router.Let me know if you are still having issues and I will check to see exactly what she did. Thanks

Thanks for your help. I have written to Roku about this as you suggested. I moved the box to no avail. Still can't pick up the Airport WiFi. We'll keep trying.

I used instruction to installed and it was very clear what to do there. First you use installation CD and then you will be promoted to connect wifi adapter to one of your USB ports. After that you have to find your wireless network and enter the name of your network and password. And yes using this device solved my bad wireless connection problem. Good luck.

Try checking your wireless connection, if you have a connection try re-starting the computer, if all else fails re- install the software and all updates...

No, this wireless card issue has not been addressed in the version of the computer that I have. I have my computer one floor and several walls from the router and the internal wireless just doesn't have enough power to supply what I need. I have instead put a USB wireless N adapter on. That has served me well so far and the USB adapter isn't expensive. I will say that other than the wireless thing, I am very satisfied with this computer. It has a lot of power for the money.

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'm having trouble also. I get it to connect, but when I turn off the machine when it's not in use, it won't connect the next time I use it. I have to re-enter all the network/WEP info all over again. Any ideas?

I have never had a problem connecting with wifi. Since I am not a "techie", I would call Samsung support.
