At the first sight...very very bad... after the latest intel wifi drive update ( 16.1.x) very better, with ocassional drops ( one or two per day)

It is the weakest aspect of the computer. Every time the Wi-Fi signal weakens--which happens frequently in the evening when everybody and his uncle is online--the Vaio loses the signal completely. Then it cannot reconnect--may even tell me there is no wi-fi available. Sometimes running the troubleshooter reconnects it. Sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect. And on the worst evenings, after I have done those things, I have to reboot to reconnect. If my friends with other brands of Win8 computers did not tell me the same sad tale, I would be sending it back--but it appears to be a Win8 problem rather than a Sony Vaio problem.

You mean WiFi?? Go to Settings, activate WiFi, it will list you the Connections available, choose one, Password, Connect. It has WiFi.

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

Mine is with in 20 feet of my wifi router and gets about 50-60% signal.. it's not super bad, but it's not all that great either.

This is the one I have had for a year now and I have no issues with it. I know nothing about this stuff but got a tablet last Jan and didnt have wifi, so I got this and was able to hook it up myself and its been working fine. So if all you need is a router, why spend more? The price is probably low because now it seems most everything seems to have built in wifi.

I purchased one of these for my parents, and in the 2 months they've owned it, the wireless has been fine. Everything has been fine. It's tough to judge any computer on its wireless ability. Wifi is one area of technology that's still plagued with problems and inconsistencies. I have no doubt that the router or modem was to blame in a good 1/2 of the reviews that you read. But yeah, no problems that we've seen.

It looks like iOS 8 has improved its Wi-Fi handling. Since I upgraded to iOS 8 in September, the connection has been rock solid (the DL1608 previously sometimes desynchronised with the wireless iPad).

Is the wifi settings on? Is there any networks for you to connect via wifi?

I have found the computer works with the wifi that I have and I am very happy with the performance. I use it for my work. It is fast and user friendly which is great because I am not very computer savvy myself.

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

It lost wifi on one occasion and hasn't since, a friend explained to me that if I restarted my router that could fix the problem. And since then I haven't had any issues. I've been using it at work and its been fine all day.

It's ready out of the box. But it's not a top of the line WiFi. It's average at best. Works better with use of the thin cord and base that comes with it. You can just plug the antenna in the back of the board, or use the cord and base to move the antenna away from the case.

Check the speed of wi-fi conection maybe it is too slow. I have not had any trouble with this computer it works just fine.
