Vostro 5460 replace Intel centrino n 2230

I am having totaly random disconnects and the adapter seems pretty week as I do not get wifi signal in spots where I would got signal with my old laptop.

In order to get some wifi signal, I have to turn off the bluetooth on the laptop. I tried updating the drivers but the problem is still there. Do you have any idea what could be the problem?

Hi YanishD,

Vostro 5460 is shipped with Intel Centrino N 2230 and tested. I am afraid other wireless card is not tested with this computer.

May I know the issue with the wireless card so that I can help you.

Awaiting your response!

Hello,

I have already tried these trobleshooting steps but I still have disconnecting issues...Strangely in Safe mode with networking, I do not have any disconnection issue.

Any advice?
