This model, on paper, seemed to have everything I wanted; 17.3" screen, Wireless N and the latest from Inte, the I5 processor. I bought a Netgear router to install the Wireless N up to 300 Mbps. When I tried the Gateway N7920, - in flaming red - it could not recognize the G network, only the 2,4 GHz (up to 150 Mbps). I went back for Netgear support - which was fabulous. We tried for one and half hours to see if there is a router problem. It wasn't. Then I called Gateway support via chat. All they did was to register the laptop, have some small talk, and directed me to call the Gateway pay-per-minute support line. I said my computer was one day old, why should I pay for support? They were adamant. I must pay, because this is wireless issue not covered by warranty. I accepted grudgingly to pay for a 30 minute conversation with the technician. He tried some banal operations and decided he has no idea why this is happening. He wasn't even sure whether NV7920 had Wireless N and took 10 minutes from the paid-by-me minutes to find out... "It should be the network", he said. He never heard that Gateway had any problems with Wireless N, he said - implying that it is my immagination. I was left speechless by the attitude, the lack of care teh the supercial know-how displayed. His only interest was to collect the per minute fees.
