Wireless Keeps turning itself off??!!

tenknics · 06-01-2010, 04:45 PM

Just wanted to give an update. I found a fix I think..

Found another thread that said just to roll back the drivers to the previous version which was 13.0.0.1 release in september. Installed them last night and loaded 4-5 torrents up. Went to sleep, wifi was still up and full 5bars solid.

I guess the newest driver is causing this..

I'm having sort of a problem with my SXPS 13 as well. But mine is because the touch sensitive button above the keyboard kinda gets stuck (no idea how). I keep it clean. This problem usually goes away if I reboot.

Same problem. Brand new Thinkpad x201s w/ Win7 32bit, Lenovo factory image. WiFi radio shuts off under load. Can't play reliably a youtube stream for more than 2-3 minutes. Also noticed the driver spews out a whole bunch (100-500) system events per minute. It's from NETw5s32, event IDs 5002 and 5005. No description is available for the events. Can anyone else confirm this or has information on the event IDs? Updated to the latest Intel drivers, same difference. This is driving me insane.

tenknics, what version was before you rolled back the driver?
I have the same problem on my new sony Vaio Z. I have intel 6200 card.
I must say that the problem began only after i updated the driver to 13.1.1.1.
I'm not downloading from any torret and my wifi also gets shut down.

I installed version 13.1.1.1 once again because that what sony told me and afterwards I couldn't roll back so i downloaded and install 13.0.0.107 and until now I had no disconnections.

I've been having the same problem with my Vaio EB. I actually returned my first laptop because Sony couldn't figure out what was wrong. When my second brand new laptop had the exact same problem, I looked this up. People with all different computers are having this same problem.

I installed the 13.1.1.1 driver earlier, and I thought I solved the problem, because my wifi stayed on for about 4 hours without fail. Then I shut down for a while and turned it back on later, and the wifi went off.

I just downloaded the 13.2.1.5 driver. Does this actually work? I can't deal with this problem forever. I will go insane.

Same issue with me. New Sony VPCZ1290X laptop (1 week old).
The adapter shuts off randomly in the middle of surfing pages (IE8).
Talked to Sony support 5x already. We reinstalled the adapter...updated the driver...downloaded an update to that driver...changed router and device settings and adjusted the power mgmt settings so as to not affect the connection...still no luck. I'm having them come on site next week!

Adapter is:
Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN
Driver is 13.1.1.1 which they keep telling me is the latest. Why wouldnt I find the .2 one?

Any other thoughts here?

Yes,
Go to this link. They actually just put out a new one. I have had success with the 13.2 one, so I'm not going to install the 13.3. The option is up to you.
