    Hey guys, I came across a problem after restoring my M17x from a restore point using AlienRespawn. A notification popped up saying that tells me "Intel My WiFi technology: Adapter not found

    Lately I have been getting problems with the connection when using wifi, I can search on my Galaxy S3 browser with no problems but on my laptop it occasionally gives me a limited access to the network which leads to not being able to connect to the internet at all.

    Here's what it says, WiFi Problem.png

    Oh, my Killer Network driver is up to date by the way. :)

    Thanks in advance guys! :)

    Well the Killer Wireless wouldn't be using the Intel driver anyways so you should uninstall that. The Killer Wireless adapter is an Atheros based unit.
