Have not had that problem. Check for updates. Are you sure it's not your internet router? Check your connections.

You're lucky you can unplug/replug and get it to work every time. Plenty of times it simply disconnects me altogether and I have to restart my computer, several times per day.

Mine has found my wi-fi network but says that it is obtaining the IP address. I've removed the card and rebooted. I've shut it off for long periods of time and still the same thing. I've emailed their support but haven't gotten a reply yet.

I would try getting a new router and perhaps a new modem, or, better yet, take it somewhere that has a different wireless set up to see if it works before changing anything. When I bought the radio I had a 5 yr old linksys 802.11b router running off an even older RCA cable modem. I had similar DNS problems and tried everything described above and then some (including bypassing the router and plugging it directly to the cable modem) . The radio never acquired an internet connection. Aluratek support tried to help (a little) and concluded the radio was faulty. So, I got a new one and returned the old one to Amazon (Amazon doesn't really exchange, but has a decent return policy and will credit a return against your purchase of a replacement.) The replacement radio didn't work in exactly the same way the first one didn't. work Coincidentally, at about the same time we were about to switch internet service from comcast to fios, so I decided to keep the radio a few days and try it with the new service, during which time I entertained myself by playing mp3s off a thumb drive. After the new internet service (including new modem/WAP) was installed I turned on the Aluratek and (presto) it immediately connected to to the internet and played as advertised, and I have not had a problem since. By the way, I have had a Roku internet tuner (the kind that needs to plug into a stereo or powered speakers, not the table radio) and it never had a problem with the old modem and wireless. The Roku does seem to buffer faster and doesn't cut out nearly as much now, though.

Seriously haven't any issues with the Wi-Fi since I bought it in Decembet. However just recently my computer crashed, and when I got it working again, I had problem with the Intel(r) rapid start system... it wouldn't start despite all the checks saying its working fine. And last night the whole system crashed. I'm going to spending most of today trying to fix it and not sure if my files will be on there when it does get to working. Seeing as I havent used it all that much yet and havent put any programs that might threaten it on the hard drive, I would say go for another computer, as I'm highly irritated and disappointed by this machine.

Be advised it has a flaw in windows 8..liad windows 8.1 update or it will never stay connected to wireless internet for more than ten minutes at a time. Since installing 8.1 it seems to have fixed the problem.

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

I bought it yesterday at Best Buy and had the same problem Janice L. Cox, M.Birch and Andrew had. After connecting to my wireless network, the device randomly disconnects, even when the rest of my devices are still connected to the wireless router without issues. Sometimes to reconnect I have to power-cycle the device altogether, or go to settings -> networking -> find my network again -> re-enter password.

Try erasing your wifi completely, rebooting and the entering the info again. That helped mine.

I would assume you have to reconnect it to a computer on your network and reset your settings?

You have to delete the factory wifi and then reinstall it by finding the answers online. Many tasks you have to do when its suppose to be working right out of the box.

Not surprised, the one I had started dropping the network connection completely and had to be restarted to get it back. After hours on the phone with dlink, they blamed my ISP. I called my ISP and blamed dlink, through all this I made several attempts to bridge this router with my modem/router, to no avail. I gave up and got switch and used my ISP's wireless connection via the modem/router.

I had the same issue of dropping wireless and had to reset the router. Tried numerous adjustments and settings.Added a wireless range extender. No more dropped connections.

Yes, you may have to "Repair" it, which is very simple. Hook it up to the computer, and there is an option to repair it. Ours did this one time, and we've not had trouble since we repaired it. It is a quick fix, just connecting it to the computer, to the internet, and essentially resetting it.

try download the driver for the wifi. but it won't solve the problem 100%. also upgrade to windows 8.1
