Hello, My Wifi connection keeps dropping, is anyone else experiencing the same problem? There is no real pattern, sometimes it drops straight away and other times it can take 5 or 10 mins. This is specific to the laptop and is not an issue for 2 other PCs or my Axim connecting to the same router. In fact the Wifi light goes off on the latitude indicating the problem rests with the laptop itself. This can only be resolved with a reboot and then it just happens again. Thanks, Gegerty.

In Control Panel>System>HArdware Manager right click on your wireless network card and click properties.Got to the Power Management tab and check to see if the little box 'allow windows to turn this device off to save power' is checked or not.It should not be as this will allow windows to automatically turn of your wireless card.Keep me posted

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I had tried absoultely every setting including this. Actually when the problem occurs you cannot get into any properties, either via control panel or the system tray. However, Dell support have solved this problem for me. I had to open up the laptop, remove the wifi card and slot it back in. It seems it was simply not held in place properly.
