    Hello I've been having an issue with my M17X disconnecting from wireless networks very frequently. I have tried 3 different routers and my other wireless devices aren't disconnecting like this. I also checked the drivers the wireless driver installed seems to be newer then the one available on dell's website. Does anyone know if this is a normal issue? Thanks for any help

    make sure your ethernet is disabled, go to device manager. and disable your ethernet adapter, it was causing mine to disconnect at one point as well.
