Ok, so I have an Alienware m18xR2 and I had wiped my computer using a USB drive and reinstalling from that. However, now that everything is reinstalled, there seems to be frequent and annoying issues with the wireless connection. It seems that whenever i'm doing anything related stress-related to the internet, it will consistently disconnect and really become a nuisance. However, the internet will only disconnect for a short amount of time IE (5 seconds) and quickly reconnects or becomes available in the connection tab. I'm using the Qualcomm Killer Wireless Network Card and I do believe that problem to be something to do with the drivers. I have tried reinstalling multiple times and have tried using the hard drive on IDE/AHCI. If anybody has any experience with this or knows any solution, please let me know. Specifications are below.

Specs:
Intel i7 3740QM @ 2.7Ghz
AMD Radeon 7970m
12gb Standard Ram
Creative Soundblaster Soundcard
Killer Wireless WiFi Card
Seagate 512gb 7200RPM

Hi, i have downloaded the driver from the date when my alienware was build. i unistalled the older driver and restarted my computer. then, when i tried to install the new one its showing me a failnote (-1603 major failure during installation)
So i tried to install the old
driver again but now im getting the same error. then i have to restore the system to a earlier point to get my driver back.

thank you for the effort.
