    Had an unusual experience with my GX740 equipped with the Intel 6200 wireless card. When I was setting it up, I had it connected directly to my Linksys WRT-320N (w/DD-WRT) router. Afterwards, I moved it to my room/office where it would be connected wirelessly.

    Immediately after doing this, the system would randomly but frequently disconnect. Trying different adapter settings and drivers didn't help. As a last-ditch Hail Mary, I uninstalled the Motorola Bluetooth software, and lo and behold, no more disconnects. I downloaded some games from Steam and watched a few streaming videos to test, and it's been completely stable.

    Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm pretty sure BT still works with the stock Windows 7 software, but I don't use it for anything so it's not a big deal.
