XPS 14z Wireless connectivity issues
Our new 14z wireless connectivitiy is unreliable. It appears to have issues maintaining connection while other computers/devices are not having the same issue. It will show the network available, but the connection will come and go. I have updated all the drivers to my best knowledge.
Any other experiences or guidance here?
thx

Interestingly, I just looked at Dell's support site and there is a driver dated 1/3/2012. I will download it this afternoon.

and I used the Intel auto updater on their website to check drivers...it only updated the video driver, everything else apparently was up to date.

We confirm with many people who have same with 15z including me, there issue with this card. Try to check DPC latency it easily show the latency. Dell replaced this card with broadcom and issue solved that was inferior, then again he replaced his card with again 6230, now the same problem. Really I saw many issue in 15z, many of people are not aware of because it's not easy to find.
