Use this guide to replace the Wi-Fi card in your Asus V6800V laptop.
A Wi-Fi card is a module that can receive or send data via Wi-Fi. It can be used to connect to the internet, a wireless router, or a smart device. It can be installed internally or externally on a PC, depending on the type and compatibility.
Before using the guide, try connecting to a network on a different frequency band. Many consumer Wi-Fi routers broadcast at two different network frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. These will appear as separate networks in the list of available Wi-Fi networks. If your list of available Wi-Fi networks includes both a 2.4 GHz network and a 5 GHz network, try connecting to the other network. Also, try running network troubleshooting.
If the Wi-Fi in your laptop still isn’t able to connect to Wi-Fi networks, you need to replace it to let that happen. To do that you need to remove the charger and battery from the computer before beginning. For removing the battery, follow this guide.
