    Last night I downloaded the latest windows upgrade ( WIN 7 PRO) and everything went downhill after that lol, my wireless keeps getting disconnected when I go in sleep mode and turn the laptop on again.. if I change the power source.. the connectivity to the router gets lost ( it stays connected but all I see is request timeout or a high latency like 3000ms)

    Just wondering if anybody had this issue on their xps 15 after the latest update?

    The latest driver seems to be a bit buggy.
    Go to Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230
    Right click - Properties - Driver tab and roll back the driver.

    it won't work since the option is not available.. I used to have the 14.2 before and I had issues so I down graded to 14.1.1.3 and it worked but yesterday night my windows downloaded updates and after it installed them my wireless went nuts

    I will try to redownload it tonight and test it.. I will download the new one and test it first, I believe Microsoft made adjustment for the new driver and that screwed up the old driver..thanks
