Qualcomm Killer Wireless-N 1202, more issues XPS 14 (L421x)
Own an XPS14 L421X. Killer Wireless card painful ever since I received it. Seems to be common issue. Mine worked initially. Then all of a sudden stopped loading most pages. First thought it was OS/browser issue. But I tired IE 9, 10 and 11, and Firefox and Chrome. Same problem Just wont load most pages. Sometimes, eventually, a page will load.
Immediately turn off wireless and plug Ethernet cable in browser fires up all pages instantaneously.
Any know fixes before going down the long painful road of contacting Dell?
Been fighting the same problem ever since I purchased the machine. Its very strange. Looks like a DNS issue, but its not! Dell XPS L322X with the "Killer Wireless"
I've been searching for a solution to a simliar issue I have with the Killer Wireless N-1103 I have and I tried everything listed so far, updated BIOs, etc, and I've only found one thing that seems to have worked so far...
The problem SEEMS to be with the Killer Network Manager application that comes with the laptop. I went to this site:
Downloaded the newer version (in my case, the 64 bit version) of the Killer Network Suite (Look under the "Killer™ e2200, Wireless-N 1102, 1103 and 1202" section)
I uninstalled the Qualcomm Killer Network program (NOT the driver, just this program!) and installed the new program instead.
So far......no internet drops and I've been torrenting like mad just to test it.
Finally fixed this!!! Go to Qualcomm and pull down their 64 bit driver package. I haven't dropped since!!! After you pull down the package, Go into device manager, remove the killer wireless and include REMOVE the drivers. Then do device discovery -- then run the package. I am so excited!!! WOOO HOOO!!!
for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. It cured the issue I was having getting Vagrant to work correctly for development, and I'm hoping to see it cure the horrid instability in Chrome. Both of these were apparently caused by issues with BfLLR.dll.
