asus n80 series laptop losing wifi internet connection, wired ok!
asus n80 series laptop losing wifi internet connection, wired ok!For some reason, my wireless internet connection stop connecting to the internet. I can connect wired fine,but when i try to connect with the wireless which is intel wifilink 5100 agn it connect off/on for few secs, but even then cant make a full on connection to the net. It connect to the home network fine, I even tried a wireless d-link usn adapter and that does the same thing!! My wireless on my router does work with other pcs, etc... so it cant be the linksys router, but i even checked that out and did a reset, didnt help.I did a troubleshoot in windows 7 and it says cant communcate with the primary dns server.And yes I had no issues before, Hope you can help, Thanks!

Hi, This is a driver issue. I suggest that you download the latest driver from ASUS website. ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- Important Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. However, since the latest driver is for Windows Vista, it may be not compatible. In this case you may need to wait for ASUS to release the newer drivers that are compatible with Windows 7 beta.Arthur Xie - MSFT

I no thats not the issue, but i did forget to mention i already updated the driver, from the intel website as i was told from asus tech support, and that doesnt help, but remember "I even tried a wireless d-link usn adapter"

Hi, The possible reason is that both adapters are not compatible with Windows 7 beta. The drivers you installed are all designed for Windows Vista. Check the connection settings (IP address, Default Gateway, etc), temporary disable the anti-virus and firewall. Additionally, ensure that the wired connection is not connected when you enable the wireless connection. If the issue still occurs, this should be a compatibility issue. Arthur Xie - MSFT

Hi, You may need to remove the existed driver and then reinstall. Otherwise some old components will still be present. How to remove=========== 1. Click Start, click Run, type in "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) and press Enter. 2. In Device Manager, double click to expand the branch Network Adapters. 3. Right click the entry of the adapter and click Uninstall to uninstall the driver.4. Click Start, in the Start Search box type "appwiz.cpl" and press Enter. 5. Find and remove all the card reader related entries. Then install the new driver. When you check the connection settings, make sure that IP address and DNS server are obtained automatically. If the issue persists, please run ipconfig /all in Command prompt and paste the information in your post. Also, run route print in command line and paste the result. Arthur Xie - MSFT

Hi, The issue may be from the router. Try to manually assign DNS server. If the issue still occurs, paste the result of entering ipconfig /all in you post and we would analyze it. Arthur Xie - MSFT

If multiple routers and multiple operating systems deliver the same results, I'd say its probably a problem with the wireless card in your computer or some environmental interference. Have things been working better lately? -Nick
