D620 Intel Pro wireless

I have been having some problems with my wireless losing connection after some in-determinant period of time. It almost always happens when I'm using a web browser. I'll be popping along, and suddenly a page can't load. I look at the system tray and I'll have no connection. When I try to reconnect through the Intel management screen, it says that I can't access the profile or some such. If I go to the profiles, none of them are accessible (they are there, but you can't access them). The only solution is to reboot and then everything works fine until the next time (could be a few days).

I had been having problems with the wireless not coming back after the laptop was in standby. In June, I downloaded the Intel upgrade from the Dell site (version 11). That caused my Wifi catcher to quit working.

Now I see that Dell doesn't actually list version 11 as the available upgrade, but the 10.X version has the same file name. When I try to install either the one I already had or a newly downloaded file, I get an error message saying that the update is not compatible with the family code in my INI file.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

    One improvement to report. I installed the update for the Dell Quickset, and that gave me back the wifi catcher.

    Hi Tom, I am having the exact same problem with my Intel card in my D620. I have done numerous searches on the issue and haven't come up with a solution yet. In the meantime, I am using a wired connection. If someone could respond with any information they have on this issue it would be great. Thanks.

    I think I have the exact same problem. The only difference is my wireless seems to die only when I am playing games or I leave my computer on for then 12 hours or so. I searched around on the internet for a while and all I found were threads like this one, with no answers or good solutions. If it makes any difference it seems to have only started after I had my mainboard replaced (graphics card died) and I installed all the latest drivers and updates for everything.

     

    Edit: just noticed this thread is a year old...
