    So I just bought this laptop for my wife yesterday at the Microsoft store, and since we got it home it has been experiencing wifi dropouts almost constantly. It has the Intel 2230 card and I have updated the drivers to the latest. I have many other systems in the house that do not experience wifi dropouts, so my question is has anyone else experienced this with this laptop?

    Hi,

    I have the j051nr too, bought from the microsoft store. I dont experience any wifi problems as of now. My card is Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 too. I think you might want to take a look at https://communities.intel.com/thread/33955

    If you do a quick google search, you will find many people having the same problems with the intel centrino n-2230 card, there are many solutions that might or might not work for you. The only reason I know this is because I ran into problems with this too when I was messing around with the drivers on my 15 envy laptop, but I ended up doing a windows 8 refresh, and that fixed it for me. So good luck with your problem!
