#Ac wireless adapter for pc Pc#
The Dell PC randomly disconnects from the Access Point even when I work very close to it, with no obstruction in between.ĭisconnections are extremely frequent (so that the WiFi is practically unusable) when the Dell WiFi device is set to work in "Wireless Mode" "12-11 a/b/g/n/ac" (it's a setting which you can do by accessing the "Advanced Configuration" of the device) ĭisconnections are less frequent (but still, annoying, as they randomly happen three-five times during a standard working day) when the device is set to work in "08-11 a/b/g/n" mode. The only user of the wireless is myself, with two devices the Dell PC at issue and a smartphone. Wireless Access Point: it's my home access point, which my ISP rebranded and provided me with it should be dual band Zyxel 8825 it's configured to work at 2.4 GHz (bandwidth 20/40 MHz) and 5 GHz (bandwidth 20/40/80 MHz). PC Driver: Qualcomm Atheros Communications Inc, version 12.0.0.948, date Hello and thank you for the reply (which I'm reading just now for some reason I had no notification email). I know this isn't the best option, but it will be easier than replacing the internal adapter, or paying Dell to service the laptop. There must be at least 100 to choose from. If you do go the replacement route, you will need to be sure that whatever you buy is compatible with your laptop.Īlternatively, you can get a USB wireless adapter. You will need to weigh the costs of having Dell work on the laptop versus just replacing the adapter. And depending on the status of your warranty, there could some cost associated with having Dell look at the laptop. But you won't be able to verify that without Dell getting involved. My thought is that possibly you have a defective adapter. One user in the other thread replaced that with a different M.2 Wi-Fi adapter and the problems stopped. It could the AC-1535 just isn't that good in the configuration Dell used. After reading the other thread/forum you included in your post, the one recommendation is similar to the one I was about to suggest. I am a retired IT Network Admin with more than 30 years in the business.


Just so you know, I don't work for Dell or Intel.
