Asus Laptop Losing Internet Wifi Connection Windows 10

Using an Asus ux501vw laptop, Windows 10, latest drivers and firmware. Works great! Write speed (Raid 0) 350MB/sec. Moved 1TB without any problems.

Wifi has long range of effectiveness. Internet connection is stable. My internet speed is 200 mbs and this modem router is doing a great job transferring the signal!

The Asus Zen WiFi Pro ET12 offers the best range and speed you can find on the market these days. I have 2gbps service from my ISP and with a WiFi connection to my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra I get speeds of 1200-1500mbps when I am close to one of the devices. Wired speeds over ethernet I get 2400-2500. I like that it has two 2.5gbps ports so I can connect 1 to my desktop and use the other as a wired backhaul connection to the other unit. The range is also phenomenal. I get strong service throughout my 2600 square foot home but also on the back deck, to outside cameras, in the back yard, and I even got a good signal across the cul-de-sac in my neighbor's driveway! The number of walls and the type of material they are made (brick, etc.) of do impact the performance but the ET12 powers through better than any other router or mesh system I have used. With the original firmware they had 2 separate SSIDs: one for 6ghz and the other for 5 and 2.4ghz. I was happy that with a firmware update they combined everything into a single SSID (although you can still split them in the settings if you prefer) and it chooses the best connection type. One side-note, if you, like me, are venturing into multi-gig speeds for the first time, be aware that a lot of hardware has a 1gbps speed limit. For me I needed a new fiber gateway from my ISP, all CAT 6 network cables (not CAT 5E or 5), a Zyxel 8-port 2.5gbps switch, and an Asus 10gbps network card for my desktop computer. The ethernet cable that comes with the ET12 is unfortunately CAT 5E which tops out at 1gbps.

I love this motherboard, it's got amazing features and was pretty simple to set up. The biggest downside is that for Windows 10/11 to be able to install the drivers for the wifi card to work, you need an internet connection. But you can't get an internet connection over wifi since Windows can't use the wifi card by default. Maybe this isn't a problem if you have a working windows installation with the latest updates but I was doing a complete clean install from the official Windows 11 USB Drive and I needed to plug the computer into ethernet to be able to set up the wifi. This was pretty inconvenient as my router was on a different floor of my house... Also the audio drivers that are by default installed comes with some bloatware software that is really difficult to fully remove. It also has some way to automatically restart itself and stay in your system tray (as a shortcut to re-download the software suite) even if you uninstall it and remove it from startup applications. This type of behavior from software rubs me the wrong way and really makes me reconsider buying ASUS motherboards in the future if this type of software is necessary to use them. This all being said, once I got everything set up and installed, it's worked flawlessly for me.

Worked great with my Windows 10 laptop. I did not need to use the Driver DVD.

I was having problems tethering my Nikon to my laptop. I kept losing the connection. I then bought the Nikon brand cable which helped. I then found this and a used longer one (one for D750 and one for D610) and both worked like a charm. Never lost a connection again.

Bought this for a new Asus laptop to give me an extra USB A connection. Works flawlessly.

easy to set up,i have wifi in the whole house . high speed internet -fast connection speed!!!!really thankful for my choice !

I was having connection problems with spotty WiFi and high latency with my upstairs computer and figured I would give this devices a try. It was very easy to set up and I got the rated speed for my internet plan, although I don't know if this devices can reach the speeds it advertises. I only have a 100 Mbps internet plan but it does get 135 Mbps down which is the same as my downstairs wired computer that is hooked up directly to my router. I was also worried I may have problems because I do use alot of electricity especially in the summer but so far I have not noticed any drop in speeds.

Works great enhanced my internet connection to the best of what is capable and extended the WiFi range greatly
