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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
