When I'm in the office, whether plugged in or using wireless, the network drops several times an hour. It also takes a while (1 minute or more) to re-identify the network (identifying the network when first connecting takes a while but I'm not aware of anyone that has the problem with the network dropping out).
Specs: "Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230" and "Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)" network adapters.
I updated the wired network drivers to the latest before I realized that it was happening with wireless too...
The interesting thing is that the problem is specific to the office network and doesn't happen at home (wired or wireless).
Edit I've added some screenshots below
This is what my system tray looks like when a disconnect happens.
When I click on the network icon, I see that it is identifying the network and this lasts some time.
Then it goes back to being connected until the next time it disconnects.
I recommend you talk to your office IT department. Since you mention that everyone is having to re-identify (basically dropping out) it doesn't seem like your computer is faulty (also you mention it working fine at home).Send us a collage of pictures of what is happening i.e the message/icon when it drops and connection info. Network dropout is kinda hard to diagnose. I'll try to help, mind just talk to the boss, chances are he'll love to know about any problems that impact employee efficiency – Pathfinder – 2014-02-20T10:08:28.137
Thanks for your help. The IT department are aware of it but since I am the only person that has complained it may not get the highest of priorities... I am trying to get some information myself to help speed things up. – Alan Spark – 2014-02-20T11:10:35.533
