So I bought a MSI GS70 Stealth with a GTX860m card about a month and a half ago. Just recently, probably about a week ago I started having problems with my wireless. While playing games, my wireless connection randomly drops to a limited connection and causes whatever application im in to freeze.
On the MSI website it says to update the "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" drivers. I've done that. Under the device manager, I've made sure to un-check "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power". I have tried uninstalling, then re-installing the latest drivers. My graphics card is 100% up to date with its drivers. Still, none of these things have solved the problem.

One last thing, I'm not sure how relevant this is, but in the event viewer for my wireless device, on 6/19/2014 the device was deleted by the source "Kernel-PnP" with event id "420". This happend before i manually deleted it with "UserPnP". Again, "Kernel-Pnp" shows up on 6/25/2014 and deletes the device again. The rest of the events where done by me.


Any help will be extremely appreciated, thank you!

Do you have the latest BIOS for your mobo? and also the latest mobo drivers, especially the Chipset driver...MSI has had numerous problems with networking things and it sounds like this is one they know about
