    Hi,

    I just got my first alienware laptop, super happy.

    But i only use WiFi, when i start to download the connection keeps disconnecting.
    It also happens with a dedicated WiFi usb stick.

    I tried installing new drivers but it won't install, it gives an error at the end.

    Maybe someone else can link me the right drivers, i have the Killer wifi.

    If it happens with a USB stick it's likely a problem with your router.

    It never happened on my computer, this happened shortly after.

    My previous PC did the same, it was the motherboard causing it, i'm gonna cry if this one has the same issue. :(
