New XPS-12 Wi-Fi issue

Hey guys, recently purchased the new XPS-12 with windows 8. Otherwise an awesome device, it Wi-Fi connectivity keeps doing on-off every 10-15 mins. The same Wi-Fi works perfect on my other dell laptop (older & winpro). Have tried re-installing the wireless drivers from dell.com but to no success. Any idea how to get this issue resolved.

Abhishek,

 

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 wireless 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.
