    Hey guys; i've had my g53sw for about a month now and i'm loving it (been playing too much battlefield 3 lately, that game is a blast). Anyway, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the network or my computer, but almost once a day I will lose wireless access and will only have a LAN connection. I just wonder because I don't think my roommates have issues with this. Let me know if I'm just being foolish or if there's an easy solution; I'm really just curious why it happens so often.

    Also, if you want to play BF3 at all, look up Psychon!

    Im having trouble with the wireless card as well, getting either dropped connections or horrendous speeds.

    Im really starting to dislike the wireless card they put in the g53. Many people swapped it out for an Intel card which is alot more reliable than the Atheros one.
