Wireless Connection: Anyone have any experience in this area?

Don, If you haven't already, turn your Wi-Fi system beacon on and let the laptop find it. Then you'll be prompted to enter your security information. Once that's done and you have a connection you can turn the beacon off. You won't need it again until you try to (easily) connect another machine. If a prompt doesn't pop up you can click on the little 'antenna' icon in the tray (next to the clock). In the dialog box that pops up click "refresh network list." Find your network, click on it, enter the security info and voila, you're done! Cheers

Heck if I know. Seems kinda long run. That's what the wifi is for. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm not too savvy on this technology.

Haven't tried. USB wireless receiver works fine and is nearly invisible, though.

Yeah. That's how I have it. I would suggest using the software for a more seamless approach. Doing it manually (going into network settings and configuring it, etc.) can be a bit messy.

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes, there is a very effective wireless connection built in. It's not in the old-usual place of being a plug-in card down in back, but is located just under the top, so it radiates and receives with very high reliability and range! Nice!

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

I do not use a wifi repeater so I can speak intelligently about that. A direct connection has worked flawless so far. No issues with connectivity. And my wifi still works good all around the house and even works well when using on my laptop in my back yard so no issues with the extra cable connection.

I don't know of any way to make it work. There is no sub-out connector. You might find a unit to connect to the wireless function, but I don't know one off hand.

Kind of a vague question...I haven't had any issues as of yet. Range seems good, but that can depend on the WiFi source and how many others are connected.

I used instruction to installed and it was very clear what to do there. First you use installation CD and then you will be promoted to connect wifi adapter to one of your USB ports. After that you have to find your wireless network and enter the name of your network and password. And yes using this device solved my bad wireless connection problem. Good luck.

I'm doing this exact same thing only with a printer. My only concern would be with lag over a wireless network for VoIP.

I haven't had problems with wifi. You may want to see if you have the latest software for it.

You Are correct. I bought a USB wireless adaptor. The performance of this thing is well worth that little inconvenience. Very fast!

Absolutely. I have had no problems connecting all manner of wireless items to this laptop.
