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).
I have tried reinstalling the latest drivers
according to Hardwyrd’s instructions.
My card can connect to LAN but the signal
(the signal bar) in the realtek console
switches from around 80% to 0.
It cycles every few seconds.
So I can’t get my net going.
Any suggestions on how to repair this will be welcome.
Hi.
I’ve already installed the updated realtek driver.
The wireless card appears to be working since the signal strength is very good and the status is connected. Yet, I still cannot connect to the internet and get the error message “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It seems pretty common place. You will have to disable Windows’ wireless (Wireless 0) and use Realtek’s wireless utility which isn’t enabled/installed by default.
Here is the optimal solution to this problem (I suggest this post be stuck at the top of the board by a moderator):
1) Ensure wireless is enabled by pressing Fn+F11
2) Under Network Connections, Right Click the Wireless Connection and go to Properties.
3) Under the “Wireless Networks†tab, UNCHECK “Use Windows to configure my network connectionsâ€
4) Download the latest driver from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1474
5) Extract the files
6) Locate and open the IsConfig.ini
7) Under “SupportOSUI ;Supported platforms for RtWlan Utility†change “WinXP=0″ to “WinXP=1″
Locate the Setup.exe and run it
9) Complete the install and the Realtek wireless utility will take over. If it doesn’t, an icon will be placed on the desktop automatically.
This should cure any issues with constant wireless disconnects and stabilize the wireless network connection with any router.

Jay
