    Hey all!

    I've been searching fora solution but so far can't findone.

    I am using an MSI GT60 2OC with a Killer N wireless card and I lose internet connection every few minutes. The strange thingis that I'm not losing connection to the WiFi I just lose the internet.I get a yellow exclamation point on the WiFi symbol in the tray icon and lose all internet connections.

    I am unsure what to do as no one else at home is having these issues.

    Re install Killer network drivers completely and install the latest ones. The official website has the remover utility in the killer network drivers package. Get the latest drivers before hand as you can't connect to the internet after uninstall.

    Wow, really? Could be a possible hardware defect. Have you tried using Ethernet only and see if the problem exists?

    I ended up reformatting my laptop, installed the MSI drivers and then updated with the general killer suite 1.1.38.1281 drivers and it worked. Something must have gotten corrupted or whatnot.

    Thanks for the help!

    I don't use the Killer driver suite for the notebook with a Killer 1103 in it.

    I'm using Atheros driver 10.0.0.287
    Qualcomm/Atheros AR5xxx/9xxx Version 10.0.0.287

    Starting with Killer Suite1.1.38.1281 and all versions hereafter will have generic Atheros drivers.This info is in the Killer readme.

    The Network Manager in the Killer Suite is not needed and is a resource hog.
