    Hi

    My m14x r2 has been failing to connect to the Internet. The wireless card seems to connect, then drop, then reconnect, etc.. The activity graph looks like stop/start. Are the 1102s known to have problems?

    Tx

    Check the power settings under the adapter, make sure it's not allowed to be turned off.

    Network and sharing center --> adapter settings --> configure --> power management

    Also, have you tried reinstalling the network driver?
