    Hello, first time posting here I've got a question about a problem I'm having my G73 , First off this thing rocks but after a while playing a game (online) my wifi card's connection decides to drop, comes back but alas not good if your playing a mmo etc. Ive only been able to make this happen if I'm playing a heavy load on the gpu,cpu etc.. over heating possible? I'm at a loss to figure this out. Any ideas? Also noticed lately it likes to make a random noise thru the speakers freeze for a sec then go back to normal. Not sure if they are related. Thanks :)

    Remove all programs for the wifi and let windows control it.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Only thing i have on here is wireless console 3, and far as I can tell it doesn't do anything beside turning the wifi off? I could be mistaken otherwise windows controls it.

    asus atk allows you to turn the wifi off and on via function keys. Wireless console could be causing issues with windows controlling your wifi. Since its not needed can't hurt to remove it. I believe windows update should give you a optional update for the wifi as well. I've removed all of the asus crapware except ASUS atk and have zero issues with my wifi.
