    I seem to be having connectivity issues using the default wifi card. Losses connection and will not repair. I tried tweaking some of the options, but nothing seems to resolve it. After restarting my verizon fios modem/router it will sometimes fix the issue. I have a couple different computers/devices connected to this network without any problems.

    Anyone else experiencing problems with this card?

    i am experiencing a similar problem where i lose connectivity and it everytime i lose the broadband on the router itself,i have no problem when my desktop or ps3 are connected to the same router but with my laptop i constantly have to restart the router approx every 45mins to get my connection back.only get this problem at home though,i do not have any problems at work on business broadband so it may be a router issue.Although as i say i dont get similar problems with anything else connected to it,cant help other than to keep restarting the router though im afraid

    After a couple of hours on the phone with techs and it still being unresolved, its time for a different card.

    Which bigfoot wireless killer card is recommended, and from which distributor?

    Try turning off/disconnecting all your other devices and reactivating them one at a time, maybe your bandwidth is being overused?
