Very slow wireless networking on my Brand New Dell xps 13.
Hello to all,
I recently bought a brandnew dell xps 13 and am experiencing some serious wifi problems. Most of the time my internet is slow and sometimes i dont even have a connection. I asked my family members if they were also facing these kind of problems, but they do not.
My smartphone and my old laptop are way faster than this brand machine, even at school i have these wifi problems.
I have already installed the newest drivers for wireless browing etc.
My ultrabook runs windows 8 for the record. Please help guys, It's a pity to have such a great machine at home but you cant use it to its maximum.
Thanks anyways
model l322x

I have the same issue. The above power suggestions do not help. The XPS133 was a blazingly fast machine when I got it, but then after only about 1 month, the wireless became nearly unusable. THis machine is running WIn8. Any other suggestions?

Hi jskurka,
I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the wireless drivers. XPS 13 is shipped in 2 variants: L321x and L322x. Please share the exact system model and model of wireless card installed on the system as listed in device manager. We will take it further from there.
Keep me posted with the information. I will be glad to assist further.

I cannot locate the variant information. Can you tell me where I can find it?
I have a Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wireless adapter. The driver version was 15.5.0.41 I uninstalled the device, and asked Windows to delete the driver.
I then scanned for new hardware, and it automatically installed the new device and the same driver. Performance not any better. Still unacceptably slow - I'm sitting 5 ft from the wireless access point.

I updated the driver, and there's not really any improvement. For instance, facebook takes > 30s to completely load. Using Chrome is no help either. sending a tweet takes forever. Really unacceptable. This is brand new - where can I take it locally to have it checked out under warranty?

OK - well, this appears to be an improvement. Let me do more testing tonight, but initially, it appears as though page loading times are much faster now..

I checked it out last night and the new settings fixed the problem. I blazed through page after page for over an hour. No issues. Thanks for the help.

No the solution doesn't work the same problem has existed for 6 years. It's even in XPS 9635 ...ridiculous. Now the laptop doesn't go into hibernation or sleep and again Dell refuses to fix this. I will never buy a dell again
