    I had bought a VGN-SZ160 about a month ago, and I was not satisfied with it at all, mainly because of the connectivity.

    Where I used to be able to get full strength internet signal with my VGN-S360, I can barely connect with my SZ.

    Do any of you also see this problem? a very weak internet connectivity?

    thanks!

    Don't have any problems with connectivity, my SZ works pretty much the same as my old S360.

    Have you tried updating the Intel Wireless drivers to the newer ones? There are updated ones that are newer then the included default ones.

    Did you recently install the wireless driver update from Sony? When I did that it borked my connectivity but good. I finally ended up downloading the newest drivers directly from Intel's web site and it fixed it right up.
