Is any one having problems with the wireless card dropping connection? This happens at least 3 times an hour.

I had the same exact issue and it got worse with the Vizio driver. I now use the .75 atheros driver and it's perfect...hasn't dropped once since I was originally having the issue.

I had the exact same problem with mine. Go to Vizio.com and download the latest wifi driver then install it. It fixed the problem completely for me.

I had the same issue and tried the same thing DukeofWagner did but with no joy. In case you have the same problem: The old driver and software has to be removed first. Then run the driver from Vizio and choose remove. Reboot, run the driver again and choose remove again (I know its stupid but these are Vizio tech's steps) Reboot. Run the driver and this time install it. If you are asked to install the software I choose no. Windows does a fine job with wifi and all it needs is the driver.

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?

The issues I have had has to do with the computer turning off wireless when it is not in use. There is a fix if you google it. I think it had to do with downloading the latest drivers and telling the computer to never turn off the wireless. Yatish, that is a little harsh since this is easily the best gaming PC for the money, and a simple google search tells you how to solve the problem.

I was, but I went to the Intel website and updated the WiFi driver. I haven't had it drop out on me in over 24 hours, which never happened before, so I can only assume it's fixed. Here's the link you'll need.http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

My router started doing the same thing - random signal drops for a short period, but enough to lose printer and scanner connections.Suggest you call their 800# - sorry don't have it on me - you should have received a welcome email from Mediabridge with the #. They'll arrange for you to get a replacement unit. They stand behind their product - good people. That said, if my next unit has the same issues we'll be having a money-back conversation! Good luck.

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

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.

Haven't had any problems with two laptops working off the signal, so can't respond. Hope you can work it out.

Yes, we have had the same issue. Original wifi card that came with the system was non-functional. Tech Support was extremely friendly and helpful troubleshooting and sent a new card. New card is very slow (1Mbs vs 20-40 with other devices in the house). Will contact them again for additional guidance / assistance.

Glad you got it fixed, but that didn't work for me. Pushing down hard (and holding down) the power button turns it off momentarily so perhaps the defect is in that area and you were able to fix yours by applying pressure while turning on/off the wireless. Would be interested to know if it works for anyone else. I've just gotten used to it being on at this point.

We have not had any problems with static from the wireless network or anything else. We have had two of them going at the same time for several months now. That is definaltey not a complaint I have.

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

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.

Be advised it has a flaw in windows 8..liad windows 8.1 update or it will never stay connected to wireless internet for more than ten minutes at a time. Since installing 8.1 it seems to have fixed the problem.

We've had similar issues where we keep losing wireless connection. Worked great for about a month then started giving us intermittent issues. Have tried many times to remedy but still having issues. Not a happy customer. One thing that worked intermittently was unplugging the unit for a minimum of 30 minutes then powering it back on. Sometimes, only sometimes, does that allow it to connect back to the network.

It wont stay synced...I loose connection at least once every 3-5 minutes and I am extremely close to the computer. I have an Mac so not sure if that is the issue or not...cant find any help online.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...
