heard newer batches come with an Intel 7265 card. No complaints that I heard so far. Mine comes with Atheros card which is horrible in slightly weaker conditions

Mind to ask?

Which source say that Acer V Nitro is having bad connection when connected with WIFI?

I did research on some populate website like http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2472500,00.asp do no mention weak wifi as they built with dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, which isn't bad, but will be slower than the 802.11ac found on most current systems.

My experience with this laptop, didn't have such problem.
Not quite sure with other Acer V Nitro owner.

I think depend on which wifi card you using lo. For old stock I think they're not using Intel wifi card. So there's a problem on it lo.. New stock is using Intel wifi card I believe

no problem with my wifi reception, speed and stability thus far. I must admit, i, too was worried bout the wifi issues that i've read in multiple sites prior to purchasing the nitro. However, after owning it for nearly two months, i found none of that to be true. The wifi card is working flawlessly. My only gripes is still, the touchpad. Quite unusable at times. But..its an awesome product as a whole.

I agree the Atheros card is perfect when the wifi is strong. But try using it in slightly weaker conditions smile.gif . The problem with on-the-go is you cannot guarantee how strong your wifi will be.
Where i get 3-4 bars with a dell on 7260, i get 1 bar and packet drops on the atheros.
