What protocol are you using?
802.11ac will always be a problem unless you have an 80211ac wifi. You may get connection to 802.11 b/g/n routers, but it will be spotty and drop often.
Usually routers are backwards compatible, laptops are not. So if you bought a laptop with 802.11ac you need to upgrade your wifi or carry a 802.11n adapter with you. Netgear makes a nice little USB adapter for 802.11n.

Asus needs to make a sticky informing people of this - your old wifi and most hot spots will NOT WORK with your new ROG 750 laptop.

I have the G750jx with the Broadcom 802.11ac wifi using Win 8.1 with Asus 6.30.223.99 drivers and this is not changed from default install. I've only had this notebook for a week but I've done numerous and large d/l and have not had a single hiccup with this card. I have a Bell 25/10 internet service and use a Netgear WNDR3700 router and normally d/l at average 3.3MB/s sitting in the sunroom about 60 feet from the router. In the last couple of days I've d/l Ghost and just finishing d/l Assassin black flag both 25 gb d/ls, not 1 hiccup on either.
My G75VW did just as well on Win 7, but I have to say I love this machine! My router is set on the 2.4 band using 802.11 b/g/n.
