Killer Wireless 1535 disables under heavy load

i've tried everything written in this post and other post regarding 1535, about 2 months ago. nothing works. alienware sent me an intel 7252 wifi card, no problem for about 2 months now. no disconnection, etc.

about a few weeks ago, i reinstall killer 1535 and installed the latest drive, did all the configs, nothings. will faulty driver keep on disconnecting.

just save yourself the headache and ask alienware tech support for an intel 8260. those guys lied to me and told me they only have 7265, so they sent me the last generation 7265 instead of 8260. unbelievable. 

thanks for the post. 

Having the exact same problem you have. 

What is funny is i suggested to the tech that we could replace the card with a different model, and she was like "no that's the only one compatible". I was pretty sure she was incorrect, and you just proved my point that I was right. 

I'm going to see if the below options other people have suggested works, but if not that is what I am going to suggest. 

after removing the killer network suite stuff, including the bandwidth control filter driver/service, i've downloaded over 8GB now and haven't experience the problem. Crossing my fingers that this was it. I have high hopes it is, because my wife has the exact same laptop I do, and i uninstalled that Killer suite right when we got it because i had bandwidth problems with it and didn't really think she needed it, and she hasn't had this problem at all. 

I had the same problem after I installed Windows 8 never happened again.

Same issue happening to me. With IE it works for 30 mins before I had to disconnect and reconnect. Downloading binaries shuts it down in seconds.

I told the Dell rep I wanted a replacement card, but no... they first need  me jump up and down the hoops for a few hours with a clueless tech who had a very bad - unapologetic attitude and poor accent who wanted to reinstall drivers I already said had been installed.

Plus they wanted to remote in to my system, aka. creepy and very intrusive, while they poke around the device manager (even worse).

It's a ***' $30 solution from Intel and takes 2 days to ship from Amazon. Stop wasting hours of your customer's time after you knowingly gave them a  bad network card. Send them the replacement card and a postage for the bad card (if Dell cares for these).

I gave them the lone star award on Amazon. Hope others do the same and may be someday they'll start shipping laptop with a working network card. As for me I'll be getting my own card. I figure my time and patience are worth more than $30.

We've released a new driver to resolve this issue the software is available here:

Please let us know if the issue persists after updating.

We appreciate your patient with this.

So far so good. installed this today and downloaded about 30 GB worth of data and im' not seeing any adapter resets ,and nothing in event viewer showing any problems. I'll keep testing for the next 24 hours but so far this looks to have resolved it. 

Still having problems after the latest update.  

Alienware 17 r3 skylake

I'm done messing with it.  I just ordered a Intel 8260 and should get it today.  Really wanted the Killer to come around but the disconnects are killing me.  I heavy download all the time with a 1k down and 1k up connection and need something that will work.  

at least alienware website gives you the option to choose intel or killer. TO ALL NEW BUYERS: CHOOSE INTEL.

I actually gave it one more go and removed the card and re seated it firmly.  So far so good, but who knows.  lol.  I'll keep yall updated. I guess at worst I will have a backup intel 8260. 

Most ppl don't get on this thread until after they bought an alienware laptop aka. Too late.

I bought my 8260 off Amazon, been working great. I've reinstalled killer drivers for like 10X, used driver scrubbers, removed registry for all too much time - seriously on a $1500+ laptop when there's a known working solution and it works splendidly.

Also pls fix your soddy customer service. NEVER EVER ASK your rep to remote in to a client PC. Create some downloadable windows app or something, do a system scan and automate this process. A software engineer will know what to look for and save us both the hassle.

Here's where things went really wrong:

1) Your rap NEVER verified the problem, I'm not even sure how she'll know if the problem has been fixed.

2) This issue cannot be reproduced with someone online, coz it'll just disconnect remote desktop right away. A better trained rep would have made the logical connection that this was never gonna work to begin with and save us both time.

3) She just went straight for device managers, following a script and attempted to uninstall the same driver I have scrubbed and reinstalled so many times before with all kinds of combination.

4) I can't ***' use my computer for work, while she waste my time. And she told me she needs 1 hr to poke around my PC before she'll escalate the case to get me a replacement card. I can't exactly leave her alone unsupervised.

5) My wife also works from home, next to me and we can't both be on the phone at the same time.

6) Also told her to call within 1 hr, at noon, while we both are on break, she called 2 hours later, when we're back at work.

Really Dell it's $30, and cheaper. Also for this line of computing many of your customers will be pros. Why upset them with reps that are less than qualified after you bungled the product with non-working component.

WOW - I have the same problem on my brand new Aurora R5 desktop and I already feel that I've wasted MORE than $30 of my time just reading about it here.  I've decided to not even TRY attempt to correct the problem with Killer - rather just call Dell and request a free Intel card.  If they want to try to fix my system instead...... I'll just hang up the phone and buy the *** thing myself from Amazon !!  Wasted time and effort is worth money my friends !!
