MSI Wind WiFi Problem?

Was fixing the built-in wifi device of the MSI Wind for several hours now to no avail. The problem is that the wifi just wouldn’t detect any wireless connections even if you’re already beside the router.

I’ve already searched for related problems and read on forums that there’s a sizable number of MSI Wind owners are having the similar problmes with the wifi.

I’ve also tried re-installing the device drivers as well as downloading and running the latest version from MSI’s website. Still nothing.

The system seems to be registering the right hardware but the wifi just could not detect any signal (AP). I’m thinking of several work-around — like looking for older versions of the driver, running a 3rd party wifi manager, among others.

Any other MSI Wind owners here that can share some info regarding the wifi? Maybe also check the driver version you are using. Or point me to a downloadable wifi drivers I can use for Windows.

For the meantime, I’m hooking up my spare Linksys USB WiFi dongle into the Wind (I knew that dongle will be very useful one day).

  1. Hmmn, looks like the solution is gone with the “wind” LOL!

    What router are you using?

    LiNTEK

  2. I had the same problem with my Wind u100, I downloaded the driver, re-installed it and it worked just fine.

    Hope this helps….

  3. Yes, it’s just a driver issue.

  4. hi, my sister have the same problem. just wanna ask how much does an external usb wi-fi cost? and where can we buy one? thanks!

  5. The external USB wifi costs Php1,800 for the Linksys but there are cheaper ones from CDRKing. It’s available in most PC shops.

  6. Strange that MSI has let this one slip past their radar.

    Another point for their competitors I suppose.

  7. Yup, it’s a driver issue. Just re-installed the Realtek drivers from MSI.

  8. I’m not sure if it is a driver issue. I reinstalled with the newest drivers from MSI and it helped a lot, but it still drops wifi connections more than usual.

  9. You may want to try the software from Boingo. A wireless connection manager that might also help. I’ve heard this from a dell tech and they say that if all things fail try Boingo.

  10. @Mike, you have to reset the wind after re-installing the driver. I also urge you to reset the router.

    I did these things and everything went fine.
