If you are reading this page, it means you are having trouble with your Intel WLAN adapter in your notebook.



How to identify if you are affected

- Lag spikes in games

- Slowly loading pages

- VOIP Software like Skype is stuttering every few minute(s)

For those with a technical background with computers:

Right-click where the start orb used to be and open command prompt.

In command prompt start pinging a random website or your router.

Pinging Google 150 times:

C:\Windows\System32 > ping www.google.com -n 150



In my case, the gateway of my router is 192.168.1.1

C:\Windows\System32 > ping 192.168.1.1 -n 150
