Problem with wifi driver.

I'm using Inspiron 7447 laptop with Windows 8.1. After a few boot or sleep/wake-up my laptop disconnect itself from Wi-Fi network and cannot be reconnected unless I uninstall and reinstall my Wi-Fi driver in the Windows' Device Manager. It will work fine for one or two days and the problem came back and I have to repeat the process again.

I doubt the problem related to the Wi-Fi driver. I tried remove and install newly downloaded wifi driver and nothing helps.

    anuith,

    Try the drivers on Dell's website?

    Try these tweaks....

    Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your network 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.

    Thank you, RockSt☆r-Rick

    I tried every drivers from Dell website and none of them stop the problem. I tried your suggested tweak now. I'll see in a few days if the problem persists.

     

    Thanks
