    I've had the M18X for 5 days now and works quite well. last night my internet connection stopped. My other stuff connects fine, so I connected my M18X straight to my router and it works.

    I've done what I'd normally do when I have a network problem to no avail. Its just the wireless access to this machine that is giving me this problem. I installed drivers from Killing Gaming with no luck.

    I did some Google searches with no luck. I'm more curious if this is a known problem and whether it is or not if someone has an idea. Thanks.

    Isn't the Killer only wireless? I think the wired is just the normal gigabit ethernet on the motherboard.

    It sounds to me like your killer might have died, or maybe it came loose or something. Short version, call Dell.

    you can try first to have a clean install for the wireless driver. then do a safe boot etc.

    Didn't think of that but I think you're right. I guess I'll make a call to Dell, thanks.

    i've had the same problem with a wireless network at my mates place, mine works fine at home but can't connect to his wireless, i'd reset your router or make sure your windows 7 network settings are correct, also (just checking) make sure have the wireless turned on on the top right hand side button
