hey i have the same wind. the problem is...well i dont know what the problem was but what you do to fix it is update the wireless driver in windows update if you dont know how to do this go to internet explorer,tools,windows update. and then follow through until you can select hardware in the left pane this will be after microsoft checks you computer for updates. once clicked on hardware updates select the wireless driver and the ethernet (if you want to not needed really) ok garenteed to work!!
I just bought one of these for my girlfriend and we had the same problem... flip it over. The middle of the three silver stickers will be the Wireless card Model. If it has the "Ralink RT2700e" then go to your device manager and open up your wireless adapter. Go to the "advanced" tab and scroll down to "Power Management" and set it to "Constantly Awake Mode" and not the Max Power Saving setting. This fixed ours. Now it'll be easier to download the new drivers!
My Alienware does the same thing. If your right next to the router/modem it will disconnect. You need to move away from it or move the router/modem away from the notebook
Hey dude. This is a comment from the Newegg website...'Cons: Initially it would connect then disconnect, then repeat on the WiFi. Emailed Tech support, within an hour they email a site for new drivers, installed them, been workin' like a champ ever since. no other cons.'......... TAAAA DAAAAA!
Not enough info. 'Wireless on', 'Wireless off' doesn't tell us if you're using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encription. There may be a microsoft hotfix that could address the problem. Also, make sure (as 'webmastersales' stated) you've updated all drivers from the msi website. Afterall, it is a new product. AND, make sure that your wireless router has the latest firmware. (Even if it always worked before). Hope this helps some.

Yes it is, but china is copying MSI... They just removed the MSI cover and all, or thay made another copy based on MSI Wind U100

An Advent 4211 is an MSI Wind in every respect except cosmetics.

I solved the problem, by swapping out the wireless card to a high-range one.
My room is the blackspot, works fine and dandy everywhere else. Thanks for your comments, and don't let it dissuade you buying this excellent laptop.

If your wireless is not connecting look on the msi website for driver download.
