I’m getting close to setting up my new laptop to how I like it.
However, the WiFi is bugging me as it effectively disconnects and reconnects very often, sometime remaining connected for 40 seconds. The user experience is fine, you’d never know this is occurring to operate the laptop, view You Tube videos etc.
I have of course fiddled with many settings, even restarting Windows as I wondered if although I’d changed the device properties, nothing would be auctioned until I reset things. Allowing the computer to turn off the device seemed like the jackpot, but it makes no difference.
I am reasonably convinced it is not a driver issue as it did it when first turned on, running Windows 8.0 and since then, it has updated the drivers to the latest version and the laptop is now running Windows 8.1. To my mind, something is telling it to act this way, perhaps in the interests of either laptop battery life, or bandwidth as Windows 8 does seem a bit concerned about both.
While I could well answer, “tried it already to no avail” any ideas? I needed the log when I had broadband faults, but this renders it almost useless.
Laptop is a Sony Vaio and the onboard WiFi is a Broadcom BCM43142
