The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Then this sounds like a router problem.

    If the signal is good then that unlikely to be the problem.

    What wireless card do you have and what connection speed are you getting?

    So I opened 'er up and unplugged all the antenna contacts and plugged them back in and I'm "PRETTY" sure (knock on wood) that this somehow fixed the problem. I don't get it but maybe 1/3 was loose. Thanks for the advice.

    Yes it was probably loose. The antenna connectors are very annoying to plug in and isnt really secure.

    Thanks for the update. Maybe, with the multiple antennae setups, signal strength alone isn't a reliable indicator of a good connection.
