Wireless connection issues, new laptop

Hi,

I have recently purchased a new Toshiba Satellite C660-195. I am however having problems with the wireless connection. When I bought the laptop it was full of all the annoying and resource hungry programs Toshiba install on there. I reinstalled Windows back on the laptop, only installing the drivers and software I wanted/needed. I am having problems with the wireless staying connected. I can detect wireless networks and connect to the one I want to be on, which I must add is a home connection (I am not stealing ). However, the connection on the wireless keeps dropping, becoming "limited" as it states in the system tray icon but then comes back on and the process just keeps spiralling on, on and off.

The wireless I am connecting works absolutely fine using Xbox consoles, at first I figured it could be the router but after a second thought figured if the wireless on the Xbox is fine then I surely must not be the case? The laptop is Windows 7 64bit

This is the laptop itself..... click here

Thanks,

I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to fix something similar. Uninstalled all the irritating Acer programs from a laptop, one kept slowing down the CPU power no matter how I set it.

Now there is no touchpad and no wireless connection.

Have you double checked that you have windows7 x64 compatible drivers? Where did you load them from? Toshiba or the device site?

 

Hi handy, thank you for the response.

I have managed to sort my problem as of yesterday. I downloaded a driver the device site, realtek as well as setting the WLAN power saving mode to disabled

Thanks,

Luke
