1515 Wireless-N Adapter Problems

 

Hello,

I just purchased a Dell Studio 13 XPS laptop from Best Buy last week.  I am extremely pleased with it with one exception.  The wireless drops out intermittently.  It will access a wireless network (ones at school with WPA2-enterprise Encryption, an open network at a coffee shop, and my home WPA2-personal encryption) and work well for a time and then suddenly it will drop the network and either a) refuse to even view it, or b) say that I have a low wireless signal.  After a while I will be able to connect again.

I have controlled for problems with the networks (I think) by using my wife’s hp laptop to access them during the down time.

I have installed all windows updates and even installed the latest wireless driver that Dell had on its website for my product.

It is very important that this issue is corrected.  If I am unable to correct this, I will have to take the computer back and exchange it for something that has stable wireless connectivity.  That is something I don’t want to do because it is otherwise a wonderful product.

I am running Windows Vista 64 home premium and the wireless adapter is called the 1515 Wireless-N adapter.
