    Hello,

    I recently downgraded my UX52VS from Windows 8 to Windows 7. I was able to install pretty much all Windows 8 drivers under Windows 7 without problems.
    However, after the downgrade, my wireless toggle/function key (FN + F2) is not working anymore. If I press it, my WiFi does not turn off/on.
    I assume it has something to do with the 'Asus Wireless Radio Control' driver that I was unable to install. For this model, it's only available for Windows 8 and it does not install under Windows 7.
    How can I get my Wireless Function Key/Toggle working under Windows 7?

    Thanks!

    Did you try running the installer in compatibility mode for Windows 7? Right click on the install .exe and select Properties -> Compatibility (tab) -> Check the box and select Windows 7 in the drop down list.
