Apparently the top of the range ASUS come with the same card so whichever knob juggling thunder kent told you that you should've bought an ASUS instead is talking out of their ass.

Anyway, issue seems to be with the card's inability to stay on a single radio band. Looks like removing all the intel drivers and letting Microsoft default drivers install helps. Otherwise pull the card out of the expansion slot and install another wifi card that does 5ghz 2.4ghz and Bluetooth. They're like $50 tops.

Every kunt seems to say different shit...read some posts sayin that didn't fix it but I'll try it if someone can link me to the drivers or know a decent site to download drivers from?

And if it's as simple as changing a $50 part, I'll do it just to end this shit... Do you know for sure if it's changeable funk?

+1 for actually trying the various fixes for the card

the fact that its intel is a good thing, means its been explored before and fixed :P

You obviously haven't googled the issue... It's been running for over a year with no hard and fast solution... Some people say x works then others say it did nothing for them

I'd just be saying to the mob you bought it from this item doesn't function to my satisfaction, here's why, then refund or them fix the issue themselves. You shouldn't have to do the hard work run round, that's the reason you bought it from them instead of building your own.

From what I've seen it looks to be a common changeable part, you would need to disassemble the laptop to confirm this though.

Something like this "should" fit: http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Networking_-_Wireless/PCI_Express_Cards/46173-6235AN-HMWWB

As birds said it shouldn't need to be done especially when paying $2600 for something... I'll call them today and see what they say but I'm expecting a fair bit of resistance especially with their bullshit 25% restocking fee...

I highly doubt that they wouldn't have been aware of the problem with the card which pisses me off too..

New house been waiting on internet for 2 weeks, get told will be connected COB Tuesday, hook it up yesterday in preparation and it has internet. Cool... I guess.

We organised everything to have our internet hooked up the weekend we moved in, ended up being 3 weeks of going back and forth with Dodo/Telstra/Belong to sort it out.

Ended up having the missus pretend she was my sister(Who had the previous account here) To find out that yep they'd turned the software side of the account off but left the hardware shit all there and even though her ISP Belong were a subsidiary of Telstra they A. Couldn't even organise their own internal organisations to turn something off properly and b. Even though on paper everything had been turned off they seemed to be incapable of telling Telstra that yes indeed this service is available for use. Then we had another week without our landline phone service which turned out was because things weren't hooked up right at the exchange.

Huge pain in the arse clusterfuck.

Yeah tell me about it. Organised everything in advanced and so far everything that has gone wrong has been utilities and internet, the only things out of my control really.

How's Geelong treating you anyway?

Tbh it's been great compared to Heathcote. Everything is stupidly close too, feels weird to be going from "Everything except the basic supermarket and a couple of takeaways is a 40min drive" to "Extremes of entire city are all within 20 mins of my place and 40 mins gets me to Melbourne." Looking like there's plenty more opportunity for work here too which is awesome.

Tried to install this one

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/NETWORK-CARD/INTEL/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Yoga-Intel-WLAN-Driver-16152-for-Windows-7-64-bit.shtml

says 'a newer version is already installed'

even though I just uninstalled the card/drivers and it's not showing up in device manager at all....

I reset and it seems to have installed a random driver version that I didn't download or install... 16.0.0.62... Running as badly as ever.

How does one clean this registry you speak of

I used to be semi computer literate, but not so these days

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
