    Hello All,

    Recently the wireless on my Vaio Z has been disconnecting. When this happens, the strength bar in the lower right corner has a red "x" through it and the wireless will not detect any available networks. I have to go into the network and sharing center to disable the wireless adapter and then re-enable it in order for my wireless to work again. This happens around 3-4 times per day. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

    Try upgrading your wireless driver, quite a few people have tried that and it worked for them. The latest one seems to be 13.2.1.5.

    Thanks Tofuturkey. The update wasn't on Sony's website, but it was on Intel's. Wireless has been perfect since the update.
