    I have a Dell XPS M1330 and the 4965 wifi card in this laptop keeps disconnecting or restarting whatever you call it, the wifi on the taskbar doesnt show its reconnecting but I have 2 different messengers open and they keep going on and off and same whilst im loading pages or watching youtube

    I seriously need to get this fixed but I'm clueless as to what to do
    Please Help :(

    Update drivers and disable power management for Wi-Fi card in Windows settings (or set it to max performance/no powersaving)
    Is it Win 7?

    i do the update, it says its fully updated, i have it to max performance as well, and set aggressive roaming to highest

    EDIT: I just went to the Intel site and manual updated it, and i turned off power management. Ill let you know how it goes :) Thanks

    Hello. First of all try these drivers: download. If the wi-fi card will keep disconecting, try to clear the laptop cooling system. Maybe the wi-fi card overheats.

    Also check out your access point. Try to update its firmware. Sometimes it reconnects to the Internet.
