Hello,
I have an Asus N53SV and the wireless will only stay connected for a few minutes when I am in certain locations. If I am in a room which is 2 floors up and on the opposite corner of my house from the router it will work fine. As soon as I take a few steps towards the router, or away it disconnects. If I return back the place where it once worked, it won't work anymore until I restart the computer. In public places it will stay connected for a few minutes then eventually will fail to see any networks and it just shows a red X on the icon in the system tray. I have tried the wireless on linux and a clean install of windows with no luck. Also, I have other wireless devices that work fine, iPods, desktop computers and other laptops.
Any ideas anybody? Is it just a bad wireless adapter? Have you experienced anything like this before?
