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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
