Mike,You're welcome -- happy to help. Since you can't get the manual off your CD, you might want to download it from the MSI website:http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc∏_no=1474&maincat;_no=135You can also get the latest BIOS, firmware, drivers, and utilities there. Regards, Joe

Yes, you have to turn on the WiFi and the Bluetooth wireless capabilities. To do this, hold down the Fn key (lower left) and then tap the F11 key. As you're tapping F11 (and keeping Fn pressed), it will cycle through four settings:WiFi-off, Bluetooth-offWiFi-off, Bluetooth-onWiFi-on, Bluetooth-offWiFi-on, Bluetooth-onYou can tell what's off and on by looking at the LED lights on the lower right of the keyboard. The first light is the Bluetooth indicator and will shine blue when Bluetooth is enabled. The second light is the WiFi indicator and will shine green when WiFi is enabled.

Yes and no. The wireless feature will work fine. However, you will need a wired connection after installing it (usually) in order to let Windows install the latest drivers. It can be a bit of a pain to get it to working at first, but that's it. The Bluetooth function is another story all together. You must have a Bluetooth function in your BIOS, IOT( in order to) turn it on. Hope that helps! Good luck!

No, but try connecting the wireless I/O to the computer using os provided drivers.

This computer does in fact have a 3.0 USB port. Is it hooked up to the motherboard? Yes. If it wasn't I'm sure my Wireless Network Adapter would not have worked.

Frank, I am surprised your W7 Ult. did not recognise the card. I just had to install it in to the PCIE slot on the motherboard and after rebooting the system just installed the driver. Alternatively go to the Trendnet site and download the right driver. You will need the exact model number to have the right driver . Cheers, Les

I agree with W.Beckles. Note: check your N router, also, some only work well withWindows 7

I had some luck by downloading a driver and going into the Device Manager and changing the power saver message on the wireless card from Maximum to off. I haven't had time to use it much since then, but it was connecting at that point. Williebugs

good question... but in fact this notebook has bluetooth and its internal. If there is any wireless card its not accessible or its part of the motherboard

Hello, We have investigated the reported weak wireless signal on on the UL30 models. What I have learned is that the problem is extremely limited in breadth and should only affect a handful of units from the UL30A-A2 and UL30A-X5 models, no other UL series models. If you are affected, call 510-739-3777 for instructions (unit will need to be shipped back to ASUS, NOT Amazon). ASUS tech support will probably walk you through some troubleshooting to make sure it is not a setup issue, wireless is turned "on", etc, so please be patient. The issue is so limited in breadth that if you are having an issue, it is most likely NOT the card/firmware etc. When I say limited in breadth, I really mean it. It is amazing the noise that can be created around an issue that affects so few units. But that is the power of the internet. I appreciate everyone who has voiced their concern, this sort of feedback is great, and would have been invaluable had there been a widespread issue.

Yes, common issue. I had the same problem. I bought one of these and installed it:7260NGW Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0Now, this will void your warranty if you send it in with this card installed, so make sure you save your old card and have it installed if you have to send it in for warranty. Other than that, it's been perfect with wireless ever since I swapped out the new one.Why they didn't install the better card in the first place, I don't know. It's only like a $10 difference between the two. Yes, common issue. I had the same problem.

It has built in wireless, must be on the motherboard as I didn't see a separate card for it.

Yes, just look up Enabling Wireless Display (WiDi) on Windows 8 RTM on google and click on the intel link. It will have directions to install the Windows 8 drivers.

The wireless was a problem but now it is solved! Go to windows update and press custom. There is Atheros update there that solves the problem. Everyone is making this out to be a deal breaker but after updating with this I can go more than 35 feet from the hot spot and get "Very Good" reception.

I'm also using win7x64. Broadcom driver version 6.32.223.1 dated 8/22/2013, which is the version available from asus's website. I have had no problems on the 2.4GHz band. One potential difference is that I did not install Turbo LAN. I'm not sure if it even does anything for wireless connections, but in my experience added software can sometimes cause problems.

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?
