I experience limited wi-fi connectivity all the time 1 to 3 bars max. No problem with my other pc's running at the same time with full bars. Help?

I have not experienced a wi-fi connectivity issue. We have 2 systems running on the same router. The first thing I would try is uninstall then reinstall your router, make certain someone in your neighborhood is not using your wi-fi connection (unbeknownst to you). Depending on how long you've had your current wi-fi router - perhaps an updated router could help. Talk to the folks who manufactured the router etc.

Seriously haven't any issues with the Wi-Fi since I bought it in Decembet. However just recently my computer crashed, and when I got it working again, I had problem with the Intel(r) rapid start system... it wouldn't start despite all the checks saying its working fine. And last night the whole system crashed. I'm going to spending most of today trying to fix it and not sure if my files will be on there when it does get to working. Seeing as I havent used it all that much yet and havent put any programs that might threaten it on the hard drive, I would say go for another computer, as I'm highly irritated and disappointed by this machine.

WIFI worked seamlessly for me. I did nothing and it was running. But it is in the same room as the router.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold

The antenna is shared by both the WiFi and Bluetooth radios. I use them both, a lot, and haven't had any problems with interference. I have had problems getting a good WiFi signal to my computer in the past. But, with this card/antenna, I get four bars. Great performance at a great price. I guess my answer turned into a 'review'. Lol

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.

Yes, it works well generally. But when the wifi connection is once limited, the laptop can hardly connect to the wifi again until I restart the laptop. It's odd...

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.

On Windows 8, the wifi is very buggy. Your best bet is to reboot and restart the download. Then just let it run and do nothing else. After you load 8.1, it will be night and day with the wifi

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

My WIFI capabilities has intermittent connection issues. Any ideas about what might be happening.

Also and obviously..you cannot connect to 2 networks at a time. It's possible your pc won't show it unless disconnected from your network.

I found a solution. First I tried every channel, no luck, terrible internet throughput. This was on 802.11b/g, which is on the same band (2.4GHz). My solution was to config my home router to 802.11a (5GHz). Now that wifi and this monitor are on totally different bands, they don't interfere and internet performance is good again. Home router is a Netscreen SSG5, which is a power-user (or Enterprise) class "branch-office" router.

Same problem. I got a faster and better router and upgraded my mps from 20 to 50. Still drops a lot (Default gateway not found)... Bought a external USB wireless adapter and now it works perfectly. Well not perfectly, it is like a spare tire; quick fix but does not really solve problem. A computer this expensive shouldn't need an auxiliary part that sticks out the side.

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

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 use my laptop on seven different WiFi areas I have no problems with any of them. They might have bad WiFi card or they need to up grade the WiFi software.
