Wireless on the S4XP

[ndurve]

I've just bought a S4XP, but the wireless connection seems quite unstable. It keeps fluctuating between 12 and 54Mbps, even when the laptop is right next to the access point. My friends laptop shows a constant 54Mbps at the same spot.

What should I do? I've upgraded the Wireless LAN driver to the 27 Sept 05 version.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,
Delete the driver and restart and it will be automatically reinstalled using the updated driver from Vaio Link

Go to control panel > system > hardware tab > device manager and look for your wireless device

Right click it, and click uninstall

Restart the VAIO

Thanks for the useful post: I have a similar problem with the internal WLAN card on my FS285M. The speed just dwindles over time! Funny how every other wireless computer in the house works fine - and if I put a PCMCIA WiFi card in my VAIO(actually 'b' type) everything works fine!! Have re-installed the latest driver etc. I also have a Netgear wireless router/modem. I think this is a bug that definitely deserves Sony's attention since the whole idea is for a portable, self-contained laptop. Has anyone cracked this problem?

Totally agree, it really needs addressing
