    I recently got my Sager 8170 and I have the default wlan module the RealTek 8188CE but it will randomly stop working or something it wont say I dont have a connection but it will just stop loading webpages or anything the only way to get connection back that i've found is to reset the computer which is a pain. And I went to RealTeks website and updated the drivers which hasnt helped. So I want to replace the wlan module with probably an intel 6200 series one. Question is how hard is it to get to it? If I understand correctly its under the keyboard? Any videos or anything? or other suggestions.
