Re: C720 Chromebook - wifi connection drops

I have had my C720 for almost two weeks, the wifi would flash and go to offline mode on the first startup of the day.

I could get it to connect by disabling the wifi and then re-enabling it and it would work for the rest of the day.

I decided a "power wash" might help so did that from the settings section but it made it much worse and had a great deal of trouble keeping a connection for more than 30 seconds.

Performed another power wash and things seemed to get better, waited for all my settings and things to be restored, performed another power wash and this time when everything was restored i found i had the US keyboard symbol down in the bottom right corner, i had not had that before.

It has been a day and a half since doing three power washes and the wifi has been perfect, it goes from having an X to full bars in one sweap unlike before when it would go up and down a couple of times.

I tried a lot of the router suggestions from here but they didn't help.

I am no expert but it seemed like the power wash and first install were not installing something properly, my hope is re-installing a few times got those drivers or whatever to finally install properly.

I hope this is useful to someone.
