    My l502x with the Intel 1000 card has no problem connecting to my Netgear N router when it is plugged in but as soon as I unplug my machine I lose all connectivity. It still shows up in my list of connections but I can not surf the internet. I just recently moved and didn't have this problem at all before. I was not using an N router before but I don't think that should make a difference...I've done some reading and also tinkered with all the power settings when unplugged but I am still having this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If I left out some info or specs that would help figure this out, let me know!

    Try disabling power management for the wireless card in your advanced power settings.

    Thanks, I'll try it after work and see if that helps out. I've got my fingers crossed that is does!
