    My wifi connection seems to cut out every 10-15 minutes, no router issues - drivers up to date on laptop.

    Anyone else have similar problems?

    That's what I thought. Lots of people complaining of similar issues with that adapter... Many decided to get 6xxx series cards as they couldn't find solutions for this

    My 1202 gave me headaches as well until I found a fix here (using a generic Atheros driver)

    even the generic driver would cause disconnects randomly. i finally just sold the m18x and bought the RB2014 from the ebay seller before he hiked up his prices. so far i am very impressed by it.

    Try the latest drivers from Intel's site. Also make sure the firmware on your router is up to date.
