my niece has a ASUS Laptop X55C-DS31 laptop she stopped using because it kept losing internet and couldn't reconnect.
router was fine, it was something not working with the laptop. in fact, the laptop would reconnect if the laptop was brought in the same room as the router but that's the only way so im "assuming" the network card acts like the antenna and that must be the issue but then im doing a lot of guessing about all this. so my question is:
is it safe to assume its the wireless network card went bad and it just needs a new one? or, what are the odds that it could be a motherboard lan/wan issue?
it was working fine with no problems for almost 8 months before it lost the ability to stay connected to the router wirelessly. I only just found out about this and I don't have it in my hands yet (she threw it in the closet) so after I get my hands on it, I can open it up and have a look, but what can I really tell by looking at it?
