Hello there, thanks for reading this post.
I am having his problem, for about 2 years. but evrything i tried to do didn't fix the problem.
one day i bought an alienware x51, and installed it in my room. from the first day of use i started having problems with my Wireless network adapter needing a reset every 5 minutes. the programs i used most often were skype and games together. but becouse of this problem this problem i couldn't play properly or skype properly becouse every 5 minutes (roughly) i had to reset my wireless network adapter and reconnect to the game/skype.
so after a year and a half i sold my alienware for a decent prize and started using my older laptop again (acer notebook) and now i only use it to watch videos but now the same problem has started to happen on my notebook
also i have diffrent place were i stay often and have thesame problome there. but there if i reset the network adapter i need to wait atleast 5 more min. before i can actually do something on the internet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what i usually do is diagnose on my wirelles network adapter and then it resets itself, but sometimes i have to manually reset it. also when i use ethernet this does not happen. and when i go right next to the router it happens a bit less.
this is my network adapter : Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter
it's drivers are outdated but i cannot find how to update them.
many thanks if you can help me. becouse i am about to throw this dang computer against the wall.
