    You need to either make sure you've uninstalled it first, then reinstall.... or go through and do a restore and see if that helps.

    Did you install the latest WiFi drivers from Intel? I know that's a problem on the A6-series.

    Yep, personally I would stick to the ASUS ones, tried installing the generic intel ones and had lots of connection issues. At the end of the day the ASUS ones are the most stable, and get the job done!
