    I already posted this in the owner's club thread but I'm hoping maybe someone here could help me out.

    Hey guys,

    I just received my Sager NP9150 a couple days ago and it is amazing. However, I am currently getting an issue with the wireless connectivity using the Killer N-1202 wireless card. The internet will stop working and I will have to reconnect to the wireless network in order to fix it. This seems to occur most often when I am playing an online game (mostly Dota2) and when I am streaming videos or downloading files.

    I am not sure if this is a problem with my computer or with the campus wireless service but I did not have this issue with my old laptop.

    If anyone has experienced this problem before, could you please help out?

    Thanks

    It happens to me sometimes, only when I am on battery.

    Check the wireless adapter settings in your power plan.

    My comment wasn't directed at you, have you tried the latest drivers though, it is the first thing i would try.

    I suggest googling your router model and see if people are experiencing disconnections. I googled my dorm router and condo router and both of them have issues similar to what you are experiencing but you cant complain cause its only around 20-30$ routers LOL
