Disconnecting from wi-fi very often - Inspiron 15R 5520
Hello,
I am using win8..(updated to 8.1 today) i am always disconnecting from wi-fi....it was happening at windows 8, and it is still happening...5-6 times in a day..and at the same time, my other laptops and mobile phones are not having any problem..so the problem is about my laptop..modem is ok..what can i do? i have read to change the modem settings 20mhz or 40mhz and try. but it didn't work for me. i am having this problem for 8-9 months...and really started to annoy me..Looking forward for your help..thanks in advance..
Regards,
PudgyOne

toxteth,
Go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag number, then select your operating system. Under Network, download and install the latest drivers.
Try these tweaks....
Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your network adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.
Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.

Depends on which wireless adapter you have installed. If you need further assistance, will need the following information...
Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and REGISTERED OWNER and post the information back here.
