I have an Asus N56JR which is a nice device except for the Wireless. Since the beginning it loses the connection to my router from time to time. Since I have another mobile device with Wireless activated I can tell for sure that the router is not the problem since the other device is working during the time when the notebook does not.
Resetting the Wireless by switching flight mode on and off again solves the issue every time. But this is only a workaround. I installed the latest driver.
What else can I do? Anyone solved this issue yet? Support tells me to reinstall. I do not want to do that.
Has anyone replaced the card by another card? Which one would be a good option?
My installed driver is shown above and the official site is here: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&s=390&m=N56JR&os=&hashedid=NhyIh5IdAzzkKh7Y

What's the hardware ID? Intel provides a newer, generic driver (version
– and31415 – 2014-05-13T07:12:38.50717.0.2.5). Assuming your operating system is 64-bit, you need to download theWireless_x.x.x_De164.zipfile. Extract the archive somewhere and install the driver manually. If you're still getting the same issues even with the updated driver, try booting any Linux live distro.The hardware ID is: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&SUBSYS_40608086&REV_73 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&SUBSYS_40608086 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&CC_028000 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&CC_0280 I managed to install the newer driver, it was not the Wireless_17.0.2_De164 but the Wireless_17.0.2_Win64 that did work. Now let's hope this one is better. Thank you for your answer. – Michael S. – 2014-05-14T16:55:08.080
