You want this on record before the warranty expires.
Other ideas.
1. Set it the router per the Cnet Networking forum sticky.
2. Have Dell supply the other model cards they use in that laptop.
Hi, Since I started using my Studio 15 on battery, the wifi connection fails frequently (a couple of times an hour). It always recovers when the computer is restarted, and often if I turn wireless off and on a few times. It doesn't seem to do this when plugged in. The device manager (says it is an Intel 5300 agn)says its working property, and I tried unchecking the box which allows the computer to turn the adaptor off to save power.
I'm running 64-bit Vista.
Is anyone aware of know problems, or can suggest a troubleshooting process?
Thanks,
