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...

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

    • 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.
