https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/N-1000-connects-for-2-3-minutes-then-drops/m-p/383640#M9688 <P>I'm stumped and could use some help. I have a toshiba laptop with intel centrino wireless N-1000 adapter. It was just sent to me as a replacement because my other prior toshiba had been sent in for repair 4 times in the last six months. They finally gave up and sent me a completely different refurbished model. The problem is this wifi adapter disconnects after 2-3 minutes. I have 4-5 other wifi devices (iPad, laptops, iPhone, roku, ...) and these all connect and stay connected. It's just the toshiba that has the problems. I have downloaded the latest proset drivers and installed them successfully. </P><P></P><P>I'm pretty good with computers and I've setup dozens of laptops and other devices to run on wifi with no problem. It sees the SSID, I enter the password and it connects, works for 2-3 minutes, then stops. I've tried changing my router to use specific channels and also set it on auto, but I that doesn't seem to help. I tried changing the security encryption from WPA2 to WEP, no help. I don't know what else to do. The internet connection is fine using a cable, just the wifi has the problem. </P> Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:00:15 GMT JPuhl 2013-09-24T17:00:15Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/N-1000-connects-for-2-3-minutes-then-drops/m-p/383640#M9688 <P>I'm stumped and could use some help.
