Had my x51 a week and I'm not impressed by wireless performance. I read about the issues with older wireless cards and poor signal reception. I'm assuming since my machine is a week old they fixed this problem ?
My question is how do I check what wireless card I have in my machine and which is the good card and which is the bad card ? Running win 8.
Then where can I get the latest drivers for my card as I understand this might improve things.
Secondly does anyone have any recommendations for a card upgrade I heard the intel was a good option.
Then finally I might house my machine in a cupboard, where it won't get hardly any wifi signal so I might end up putting a wifi dongle into a USB port via an extension cable and running thwt outside the cuboard to get a better signal.
Sorry about the 20 questions !!! But anyone who has been here before and can share experiences would be really appreciated.
