**SOLVED!** Wi-fi Problem on G75VX Windows 7 (plus fn+f9 problem, solved too)

Hi everybody! just wanted to share the news with everybody, because I know that a lot of people had the same problem as I did...
After downgrading from Win8 to Win7 in my G75VX, it was impossible to find the right network adapter driver... that meant, no wi-fi! 😕 but NOT ANYMORE!

Credits go to @rledge21 for sending me this link, which after months of LAN limitation, got my wireless working:

http://www.asus.com/Networking/PCEAC66/#support_Download_30

I sincerely hope this driver solves all of your problems, people...



Also, people were having trouble with the fn+f9 command (as I was).

Credits go to @cjonash for the solution: "I managed to get the fn+F9 to work by installing the touchpad driver from the supplied CD (it is the Win 8 version, but it also works for Win 7). I just run the install exe-file."

My fn+f9 didn't work either. Installed this driver, rebooted... et voilá! It works now. No more random clicks while writing...



as an asian woman driver would say: "good luck, everyone else!!" (*proceeds to turn 5 lanes in a row with no warning and without looking*)

Sorry, new comer here...
So, my question is, does the wifi driver work for the b/g/n card? the one provided in the link? I plan on getting the laptop very soon and a bit skeptical of getting it since it has the wifi issue

It does Not have a wifi issue. The laptop came installed with windows 8 and there are only drivers for windows 8, he installed windows 7 thus because windows 8 is newer the drivers did not work properly on windows 7.

Can anyone advise how to install that wireless driver? There's no .exe and I can't do it through the device manager since the card doesn't show up there. Thanks for any help.

PM: After you extract the drivers to a directory you can point to, look under your unknown devices, the card should be visible there.

Also, I had to reinstall the touchpad drivers twice to get the FN + F9 issue sorted, thanks for getting me going, forum!

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like that (substitute) driver works, but has speed issues. I used to have download speeds around 25MB, and now it won't get over 10MB download speed. I've checked other computers on my network, and it's not a bandwidth problem. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it the driver? Is it the card? Is it a setting that I'm missing? I've shut off all of the power issues, and have the computer running in High Performance energy mode. Thanks for any insight!!!

Just Wanted to say thank you so much for this!! I have been held back from moving by this wire for awhile now. After installing and uninstalling driver after driver and 2 clean installs I stumbled across this thread finally. The post worked fine for me and the only brain fart I had was not having an exe file in the drivers folder after unzip. Witch is easily fixed by manually browsing for and installing the driver through device manager. Again thank you!

Sorry I said "The post worked fine for me" when I meant the link in the first post worked fine for me. Drivers are installed and working great thanks again

Is anyone else having speed issues? I downgraded my computer to windows 7 and these drivers were the only drivers I could get to work (thank you!) but 2.4ghz speeds are pathetic and 5ghz speeds are "ok" but I'm maxing out at 15mbps on speakeasy.net when I should be 50mbps. It also takes about 30-45 seconds to start the test...which started instantly before I downgraded. I'd love to get this working again if anyone has fixed the "slow" issue.
