    Okay, so I reformatted my laptop and I believe installed all the drivers, but this is driving me nuts. I called sager tech support and they couldn't help me. So whenever I actually use the internet such as surf the web or watch a streaming video, the light on the wireless button on the left side of the laptop starts to flash. It used to be blue when I first got the laptop. Now it is orange and flashing; however, when I do not surf the web such as just plainly opening firiefox, it doesn't flash. The internet connection is at 5 bars but sometimes pages don't load. My wireless is like 30 feet from my laptop too, so what's the problem? Why is it flashing orange?

    May not be the case, but when mine was orange the Bluetooth was turned on. I've turned that off and my light is only blue now. When you look at the light can you kind of see the blue underneath it? I know that doesn't fix the issue of pages not loading, but I do believe that explains the orange light. :)

    It may also, indirectly explain some of the slowness with loading if the bluetooth drivers are firing off when they're not supposed to and mucking around with the system.
