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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
