DW1520 wireless-n wlan half mini card connection issues
I am having problems with my wireless card its a DW1520 wireless-n wlan half mini card in a XPS 8300 desktop.
It only started yesterday but the card is completely disconnected whenever it boots up (4/5 times now) it also regularly (ranges from every 10 mins to every 30/40 mins) drops the connection all the way to the red cross and then will eventually reconnect, the windows troubleshooter only ever recommends restarting the router but that's not the problem as other devices hold a connection whilst the computer does this.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem as the connection dropping is getting very annoying.

Hey
Yeh I found the answer eventually, my problem turned out to be a really dumb thing to miss to be honest so might not be the same thing for others.
But I hadn't noticed a new wireless network being introduced into my 'space' (grrr *** neighbours) and basically it lightly crossed with my wireless channel so I scanned the wireless networks to see what channels each one used, found a nice empty gap mine can fit in and then moved it to there and bam problem solved.
God knows what I will do if all the gaps get filled, possible night time sabotage of other networks lol
