AC 7260

I googled it while trying to fix it and it's obviously a VERY common problem to the point where msi are literally robbing people for the money they're charging for it.

How can a f**king high end gaming laptop have such bad wifi

The thing is f**kin useless to me now

definitely looks like a driver issue, i'd be trying to find some of the older ones - or this

I just got these cards yesterday for a new-build laptop (Toshiba P75)

Initially I used the latest Intel drivers (17.x) and performance is 2.5 Mbyte/sec range which is terrible.

I uninstalled the drivers and it went back to the stock one in Win 8.1. Now getting 25 Mbyte/sec up and 23 Mbyte/sec down at close range. Pretty much the fastest I've ever seen on my WLAN at home.

I'll sus it out tonight... Was reading Intel forum this morning and it seems like it's a long running issue which Intel aren't solving in any of their new driver updates... If I can't fix it I've basically blown $2600...

Would've been better than this thing.

The laptop itself is fine but why a company as big as Intel would continue producing a known piece of shit wireless card, and why companies keep putting it in their systems is beyond me

What model laptop is it? Do you know if the wireless card can be changed over?

Msi gs60 ghost pro 3k

Sounded like it was the sort of laptop that can't really be modified /altered too much...

Shouldn't have to change shit just to be able to use the fkin internet on a $2600 laptop... It's 2014 ffs

You should be able to change it over to another card looking at the type of laptop it is, I can't find any disassembly guides for it though so can't confirm that. Unfortunately MSI aren't known for their quality control, for a gaming PC on that budget I would have recommended an Asus.

every mother f**ker in here was reccomending MSI... I'd never even heard of them til everyone brought it up, knew I should've went with what I know

Although so far the laptop itself is fine, it's just the piece of shit wifi card, which is intel.

If I sit next to my router I can get proper speed, but what's the f**king point of wifi if you have to sit on the router

I know it's not ideal and the laptop should function as is, but if worst comes to worst, you can get a netgear USB wireless adaptor. I used to use one on my desktop cause couldn't run cable from my room to router. Worked flawlessly, even playing games.

Most people on here don't know what they are talking about, when you have people like Hamish recommending laptops there's something wrong haha

Should have stayed with Asus. Guarantee within 6 months you'll start having overheating issues and things like the fans will begin to fail. I would see if you can take it back, you should not have to use an external card on a device that's meant to be portable...

Oh and I know Hamish is going to quote this but... if you had similar issues on a MBP you could take it to the Apple store and get a new replacement the same day haha

Yeah but you have to make an appointment to speak to one of those arrogant, cocky, shitty joke making hipsters aka a "genius" and frankly I'd rather eat my laptop after taking a shit on it

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
