AC 7260

I googled it while trying to fix it and it's obviously a VERY common problem to the point where msi are literally robbing people for the money they're charging for it.

How can a f**king high end gaming laptop have such bad wifi

The thing is f**kin useless to me now

hrm did you see this thread?

definitely looks like a driver issue, i'd be trying to find some of the older ones - or this

I just got these cards yesterday for a new-build laptop (Toshiba P75)

Initially I used the latest Intel drivers (17.x) and performance is 2.5 Mbyte/sec range which is terrible.

I uninstalled the drivers and it went back to the stock one in Win 8.1. Now getting 25 Mbyte/sec up and 23 Mbyte/sec down at close range. Pretty much the fastest I've ever seen on my WLAN at home.

I'll sus it out tonight... Was reading Intel forum this morning and it seems like it's a long running issue which Intel aren't solving in any of their new driver updates... If I can't fix it I've basically blown $2600...

inb4 should've bought a 15" retina display macbook

Would've been better than this thing.

The laptop itself is fine but why a company as big as Intel would continue producing a known piece of shit wireless card, and why companies keep putting it in their systems is beyond me

What model laptop is it? Do you know if the wireless card can be changed over?

Msi gs60 ghost pro 3k

Sounded like it was the sort of laptop that can't really be modified /altered too much...

Shouldn't have to change shit just to be able to use the fkin internet on a $2600 laptop... It's 2014 ffs

You should be able to change it over to another card looking at the type of laptop it is, I can't find any disassembly guides for it though so can't confirm that. Unfortunately MSI aren't known for their quality control, for a gaming PC on that budget I would have recommended an Asus.

every mother f**ker in here was reccomending MSI... I'd never even heard of them til everyone brought it up, knew I should've went with what I know

Although so far the laptop itself is fine, it's just the piece of shit wifi card, which is intel.

If I sit next to my router I can get proper speed, but what's the f**king point of wifi if you have to sit on the router

I know it's not ideal and the laptop should function as is, but if worst comes to worst, you can get a netgear USB wireless adaptor. I used to use one on my desktop cause couldn't run cable from my room to router. Worked flawlessly, even playing games.

Most people on here don't know what they are talking about, when you have people like Hamish recommending laptops there's something wrong haha

Should have stayed with Asus. Guarantee within 6 months you'll start having overheating issues and things like the fans will begin to fail. I would see if you can take it back, you should not have to use an external card on a device that's meant to be portable...

Oh and I know Hamish is going to quote this but... if you had similar issues on a MBP you could take it to the Apple store and get a new replacement the same day haha

Yeah but you have to make an appointment to speak to one of those arrogant, cocky, shitty joke making hipsters aka a "genius" and frankly I'd rather eat my laptop after taking a shit on it

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
