Solved!
Go to SolutionKiller Wireless 1535 disables under heavy load
I just received a brand new 15 R2 in the mail a few days ago, and have had nothing but issues with the wireless. It works fine under normal load IE browsing internet or streaming videos. When I attempt to download a game from steam or push it the signal slowly degrades before the wireless card disables itself. You are then unable to enable the card via hardware switch or right click enable. Any ideas? See video for reference.
I have uninstalled all killer software/drivers, deleted drivers, and reinstalled killer drivers from both killer website and dell.

Hi,
Go to Device Manager, under the Network category, look for your Wi-Fi module and double click it to open the properties window, there should be a tab called power management, under this tab, look for an option called allow this device to wake the computer and uncheck it if it was checked. Let us know how it goes.

I've disabled it. I'll give it a try downloading some large files and see how it does.

Unfortunately disabling "allow this device to wake the computer" did not resolve the issue. I got about 1/4 through a download on EA Origin before the same thing happened. Signal drops to zero, wireless card disables itself, then will not allow me to re-enable until i restart the computer.

go to device manager/ right clic on killer wireless 1535/ search for updates/. Windows could find a functionally driver for the wireless

As clearly stated in the original post i have tried the most recent drivers from both killer and dell. When I attempt to use windows to update it tells me I am using the most current version. I have also tried in installing killer software completely and it still does it.

*uninstalling (even with no killer software installed it still does it. I reinstalled killer suite and disabled this function and it still does it.)

Hi,
Can you confirm if this happens with several WiFi networks or you have only tested one?

Finally got resolution from Alienware. They came and replaced the Killer 1535 with an Intel AC 8260. I am going on two days with zero issues and over 100GB downloaded on my 5Ghz network at around 15MB/s which is what my internet maxes out at. Kudos to Alienware for sending the Intel card next day. They shipped it Tuesday of this week and the technician was at my house Wednesday afternoon. So far so good. Hopefully Killer will resolve the issues 1535 has with Windows 10 and 5Ghz, but unfortunately with an upcoming deployment I don't have the time to wait for it.
