G51J-A1 Wireless Adapter Problems

So,

Apart from the main issues, the only thing affecting me at the current moment (most likely because I don't play borderlands or CODMW2) is the auto-disabling the wireless network adapter seems to perform when overloaded.

I run Internet Download Manager overnight with my rapidshare premium account, but I do not hook up via Ethernet because of my distance away from the router.


The wireless adapter is an Intel Wifi Link 1000 BGN, and it seems to disable itself whenever I run IDM for a long period of time unattended. I have ensured this is not because of any power settings (I made my own overnight downloading plan, and unchecked the option in the device options to "Save power by turning off the adapter").

What happens exactly is I will open the lid only to find that the wireless connection has limited connectivity, and the only way to get the wireless adapter to connect is to reboot the pc. I have made the lid closing do nothing to the computers state so that is not the cause of the problem.

I am sure others would have the same issue. I have spent alot of time googling it to find a solution, and only came across websites with the following solution;

( "Run CMD in administrator mode, and type in the following"

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled )

That seemed to work for me, my wireless adapter stopped turning off on its own, but it introduced another problem where the wireless adapter would have to be manually turned on every time the laptop rebooted. Therefore, I reverted to having the main issue present again as I want to clear the problem without introducing other ones.

I have tried this with stock and new drivers for the adapter.

Anyone notice the same problems, or have a solution?

 

try reversing the first 2 changes,

netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=enabled

but keep offloading disabled.
(i've only used wired and don't have my G51J at hand)

 

Thanks for the suggestion,

However, for some reason,

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

cannot be reversed by simply entering "enabled", it gives an incorrect parameter warning. I have tried entering "1" but that did not work either. I will search and find out the options for what to enter in that parameter.

EDIT : It seems the reverse entry is "normal", I will try that, won't be able to report any success until tomorrow morning though, this thing only happens to me at night, I can run IDM now but as long as im on the computer the wireless has never disabled on me :S.

 

those should be available under device manager, in the Advanced section for the adapter

 

You would think, but I cannot find such options in the advanced section, and from my brief google search of what the actual functions do, it seems that there are no similar options within the devices settings.

EDIT: With task offload disabled, and the other two options set as they came default, I rebooted and my network adapter turns on automatically so thats a start, will have a final indication tomorrow. It may be the simple change you imply, just the Task offload. Thanks for the help so far.
