A Friend of mine recently downgraded to Windows 7 because he didn't like Windows 8, when he had 8 installed He could use Wi-Fi fine, but when he installed Windows 7 It wouldn't even connect via LAN, we downloaded the drivers off of the Gateway website and we installed ALL the drivers for Internet on his model, (We downloaded the Windows 7 Version of the Drivers if it Matters) Only 1 of them worked and that was for the Ethernet Cable, his Ethernet Cable is currently in use on something else so he needs to use Wi-Fi, If you need any Additional Info Please reply and I'll let you know!
