    Hey all,

    For those running the 1103 cards, has anyone sorted or figured out a way to stop the random dropouts? I have the new drivers installed 1.0.25.1224 - this driver is much better than that POS 6.x.x.x that use to drop out every 10 minutes or so.

    With the new drivers they are much better, but under a decent amount of load they tend to drop and when it drops it just keeps dropping everytime after that - gaming, streaming, etc. I know the ultimate fix is to just go off and buy a 6300 lol. Don't get me wrong this card is fantastic when it's stable and working.

    I'm on my 5ghz band, no one in the building has 5ghz so no interference. Not a router issue either, my router is new and there are no issues whatsoever - Billion 7800VDOX, which uses a broadcom chipset.

    Also if any vedor's can chime in? perhaps you guys have heard something from Killer Gaming worth mentioning?

    Thanks,
    King

    Thanks again :) I'll try the ones you provided first and see how that goes.

    Installed it already, waiting to go home and test out.
