    I seem to be experiencing issues with my wireless connection dropping randomly on this brand new laptop. This is causing issues from difficult browsing to multiplayer connections dropping for games.

    Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

    I am looking for suggestions as to what could be causing the issue and how I might solve the problem.

    1) I have updated to the latest BIOS. (208)
    2) I have updated to the latest Atheros wireless drivers.

    Is there anything I can check/verify hardware or software wise? I really want to avoid having to RMA if possible since I just bought this unit. I saw a few previous posts where people reported their connectivity issues were resolved by a firmware update. Does anyone know where I might acquire this update?

    Thanks!

    Not sure if this may apply to you, but I'm using the 204 BIOS with stock drivers on my UL30VT-A1 and haven't experienced any issues with my Atheros wifi card.
