Thought I had this licked, as I was able to work all day yesterday with no drops. Working for me means web browsing, limited FTP, IM, streaming Sirius, etc. However come afternoon I browsed over to some video streaming sites (to rename nameless), and once again my connection dropped again...

Thanks chev65 for the link. For some reason that did not turn up while searching, the only version from Dell I could find was from June. I actually found different Lenovo drivers (on the German site of all places) on Sunday and installed those which *seemed* to have helped. This is my first...

Lenovo drivers did nothing to help my problem. I installed them and have since lost my connection more than a dozen times. This morning I bought some software on Amazon, and their downloader caused the connection to drop every 5-10MB by far the worse it's been since I upgraded first. The...

Since disabling WMM on the Broadcom BCM4352 wireless card the situation seemed to improve. But after some heavy (normal) usage, I noticed the connection dropped again. I'm trying the Lenovo drivers available here: Broadcom Bluetooth BCM4352 Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - ThinkCentre Systems...

Thanks pistol44 for the thread link. Your wifi card is actually the Broadcom, the Killer Wireless card is for your wired Ethernet. Like you I called Dell and they told me the same thing: the latest drivers are from June/August and the most recent drivers are hosted on the Lenovo site (which I...

I wish that was the case! But the problem has popped up again after some more moving and testing. So I explored the house a bit, and found the connection issues pop up no matter where I am (near the router or not). The stronger the signal, the longer my connection lasts but it still dies after...

Odd development here... I tried the Broadcom drivers from the Dell site without luck (423MB package yay) I then went to my device manager and uninstalled (2x) the Broadcom adapter, and then did a hard shut down. Upon booting back up, Windows didn't prompt me about any new hardware, the...

I will post an update later when I have time to work on it. And yes I already ran Windows Update but not specifically looking for these drivers. Here's my steps: 1. Unboxed new PC 2. Booted up and ran windows update (after stumbling around Win8 for a bit) 3. Found, and installed ~50...

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring of people with wi-fi issues following an update to 8.1. on a brand new Alienware 17. After the update to 8.1 last night, wi-fi will connect and then drop out after I start transferring data (browsing) The only remedy is to either restart, or "forget" the...
