G73 issue with the Wifi

Ok, so, maybe it's not exactly a problem since I'm using it right now. But, for whatever reason, the WiFi indicator in the taskbar constantly says Im not connected the the internet and shows no strength indicator.

This wouldn't bug me as much (ok, it will make my ADD flare something fierce), except for the fact that when I try to connect to my 360 to stream content, Windows thinks I have no wifi.

 

ur using the stock card which is useless.. get the intel 6200 card and with intel drivers and u'll have no problems.

 

uninstall and then reinstall the atheros wireless card drivers. Are you running on ethernet as well? Is your router set up properly? Are there multiple unsecured connections you find when you search? I don't understand how your taskbar and say you have no connection yet you report to have internet service.

 

Might not be a bad idea to make sure your antennas are attached to the card properly as well.

 

I know. Took awhile to respond, but whatever.

My task bar icon, that normally displays signal strength, displays I have no connection. There's other issues, but this is the one thats bugging me.

 

Can I ask what router you are using?

Also, try updating to most recent driver as well.
you can find v9.1.0.100 from link below.

Does other wireless/wired network devices work normal?

 

I would have to disagree the stock wifi is very stable and work great. Over usenet I can pull 20+mbps stable for hours on end.
