    So I randomly started having connection issues, i.e. cant stay connected for more than a minute at a time. Simple trouble shooting has failed, all drivers for windows, nevidia, and killer wireless are up to date.

    Running a Killer Wireless N-1103, and was wondering if anyone else has experienced these problems and found a solution.

    Did this happen with the new drivers Dell just released or was it happening before the update as well?

    If it was working fine before the new drivers, I would try a restore from the previous day and it should work fine again.

    Good call on the driver rollback. Do you have any other wifi devices around your home? Ideally, we want to confirm that the issue isn't with your Wifi on the router.

    Next, get in the car and go to McDonalds. They have free Wifi for all customers now. So snag a $1 hamburger and test your wifi in a totally different environment.

    This should properly indicate where the fault lays.

    I was randomly having some issues with my Intel 6250 the other day. Driver reinstall cleared it right up. Worth a shot if you haven't already...
