This is definitely an INTEL problem, that evidently hasn't been fixed in the latest drivers. That being said, I still lost the benefits of using N. The only change I have made is dropping the router down to B/G mode, and immediately my connection issues went away. I never actually "lose" the connection, but there is definitely something wrong.įor some reason, my laptop stays associated to the AP, but very soon after, my actual connection suffers from all sorts of errors from bandwidth issues to dropped packets, to full-out website and data transfer time-outs, which makes using the laptop wirelessly impossible.

I'm running the latest Intel Drivers for Vista 圆4. I had my router to configured to run with B/G/N Mode, and WPA2 encryption. My Studio XPS 16, is a completely different story. My old XPS M1210 using a 4965AGN card had no issues (and continues to have no issues) connecting to this access point using N speeds. My home access point is a Linksys WAP4400N. So I just purchased a Studio XPS 16, which also comes with the 5300 AGN card. I'm going to a Panera now to see if I can duplicate the connection dropping issue. I've had numerous laptops connect to it, all with older Broadcom b/g cards, and as long as the WEP encryption is set properly there has not been a connection problem. The Linksys access point has been here a couple of years and is running Linksys firmware version v1.00.6.

The driver version for the Wifi Link is 12.0.0.82 and is dated. I believe this is the first time I've used an 802.11n-compatible wifi card in my home.

However the Control Point Security Manager software is still installed (as it came from the factory) and might also be contributing to the problem. This last makes me think power to the Wifi Link card might be getting turned off somewhere if there is no activity. So I uninstalled the Control Point System Management and Connection Management software, and this seemed to result in a small improvement: I can do a download successfully, but if I'm idle any amount of time the connection drops. It is running with a unique SSID which is not broadcast.Īt first, my connections would drop and it seemed related to the Control Point software preinstalled on the E6400.

I like the laptop, but the Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN adapter continually drops my wireless connections to my home Linksys WRT54G access point and router.

The page HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI explains how to identify a PCI device.

Some devices like the 6235 do include a Bluetooth device in the same card, which may lead into radio conflict.
