My new laptop has terrible WiFi. While my laptop from 2006(!) are able to find over 20 networks in the apartment-complex that I live in, this one is barely able to find mine, and often disconnects. The computer is an ASUS F511CA, and I have confirmed that all drivers are up to date, as well as I have disabled the power-saving option that allows the system to turn off the network. Is it still possible to hope that this is software-related, or should I simply send it in for reparation?

2Try an older version of the driver. Newer does not always mean better.– MixxiphoidJul 3, 2014 at 19:05

You should probably try to replace it. If it's new, it shouldn't have any issues.– gronostajJul 3, 2014 at 19:11

Please provide the specific network adapter you have. Also provide the specific which 802.11 mode your using. Also specify which frequency 2.4Ghz or 5.0 ghz your using.– RamhoundJul 3, 2014 at 19:12

I am using Qualcomm Atheros AR9485WB-EG. I do not know where I am to find which 802.11 mode I am using. I am using 2.4Ghz, B+G+N.– Andrew ThompsonJul 3, 2014 at 19:17
