Title: More laptop problems! Post by: youthnkzR on October 03, 2013, 02:42:09 PM Ok guys so I recently brought a new laptop - ASUS V550CA - but am having a massive internet connectivity problems with it.
The problem itself is my internet connection just drops at random intervals. Obviously I've tried to fix it myself but I'm a total moron when it comes to anything to do with technology. It can't possibly be the internet connection itself as I use my laptop at 3 different locations frequently and have the same problem at each. Also things like the iPad, my phone...etc will still be connected to the internet when my laptop connection drops. All that it takes to get the connection back on my laptop is a reboot and hey presto I have internet back (although this takes longer than it should seeing as my HEM takes ages to load). Anyone got any ideas? (I use wifi connection, not wired). Title: Re: More laptop problems! Post by: AndrewT on October 03, 2013, 03:00:47 PM Dodgy drivers for the wifi receiver?
Reinstall them (and search online if there's newer ones, which there really shouldn't be if it's a new laptop) Title: Re: More laptop problems!

Post by: kinboshi on October 03, 2013, 05:10:31 PM Is there an Asus 'app' that's managing your wifi and connections? Might be worth disabling/uninstalling that and just using the standard Windows tools to manage it.

I can't seem to find one mate so I don't think so but it's very possible I've missed it Title: Re: More laptop problems!

As an IT professional I won't comment on Asus products
