    On my XPS 15 R2, I have the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 and Bluetooth 3.0 wireless adapter. Previously, worked fine but currently at a hotel and it works great, then loses the connnection, then reconnects, over and over and over again, sometimes for a minute, sometimes a bit longer, but eventually repeats. Thought I read of some other problems earlier (tried search but it doesnt' work). anyone have similar issues? new drivers?

    This video (not me), seems to show the issue:

    Try the latest Intel drivers?

    Also check your antennae connections.

    I just received my xps 15 and im having the same issue! It keeps searching and connecting, searching and connecting. Can anyone help!??


    EDIT: I fixed this problem by updating the firmware on the router. No more connections dropped for me!. I have a netgear router btw. Try logging into your router and update the firmware. hope it helps!
