Hello,
Recently my S270 is “loosing” the internet connection from time to time (connected via wifi). I can still connect to my local wifi router which is very strange, but whenever I try to access the Internet, I reach a timeout for all web pages. At the same time, I have another computer, connected to the same router via wifi as well, and it is still working fine.
When I connect my s270 directly to the router (via a network cable), it works fine as well. If I remove the direct link and switch back to wifi, it’s still a no go :?
I’ve tried a lot of other things:
- reboot the router
- rebout the cable box
- disconnect and reconnect (click repair) on my wifi connection in Windows
- stop one after another every running programs
- wait idly for several minutes - not very patient though
Nothing works…
The only solution I’ve found was to reboot my notebook but it’s not very convenient :wink:

My s270 is running under windows XP Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2

Please help!

Quite a few S users have stated that after downloading and installing the new wireless drivers that their S units had better connectivity and signal strength. I did it and everything is working perfectly.

Thanks, I’ve installed the latest intel driver as you recommended!
Wait and See

I had problems w/ my S260P when I first got it…I’m running a belkin pre-n router and the stock intel 2200bg client card, windows was managing my connection…stock drivers…

After updating to Intel’s latest (which is slightly newer than Sony’s latest version posted on sony support) my problems have gone away…I’m running 9.0.3.9 of intel’s 2200bg drivers.

I’ve also got the intel client software installed…I’ve switched back and forth and haven’t noticed too much difference in their software vs windows managing it…so i’d just update the drivers to intel’s latest…
