If it's something to do with the connection rub the connectors with an eraser when you reseat. It's worked with ram in the past for a previous troubleshoots here.

am i the only one going through this problem??

 

i am having a problem with the mPCIe WiFi connection. the pc shows that there is an excellent signal strength and also shows that i am on the network but every time i try accessing the internet or another computer  on the network its a bit of a problem. i checked the router and everything if fine with it, i checked internet connectivity on my other pc & laptop and everything is good with those two as well except for the new computer!! any tips to help out??

 

note: yes, i did go on to the ROG forum as well and posted the same query! ^_^

Are you using the windows stock drivers for it or have you downloaded the latest drivers from your motherboards website?

I had this very issue, in the end i had a loose connection between the mPCIe board and the Mobo. I re-seated it and it fixed it, although i did also upgrade my antenna's although this didn't fix the issue, it makes the reception much better.

Yea, I had the same thing, Try taking the mPCIe board out of the motherboard, and putting it back in. Mine worked fine for around 6 months, then i had this issue. I then reseated the mPCIe board and it started working normal again. 

 

Also I upgraded to two of these,

but im not sure of the availability over there. 

 

Hope you get it sorted.

the though of going through removing almost everything just to get to that WiFi adapter give me headaches. i did contemplate doing that at first but now i guess i might as well do that. i really hope it is worth it. as for the antennas, i think i might have to go out and look for them at the local computer shops.. i am sure they have something like this!
