Access Connections 5.83, X201i, Keeps Re-Connecting to WiFi

#1 Post by warreng24 » Sun May 22, 2011 10:26 am

Anyone else have this issue with the latest Access Connections (v5.83)?

It won't remain connected to any wireless network for more than 15 minutes at a time. I keep seeing the Access Connections reconnection window pop up.

I've got the Intel 1000 BGN card.

Also, any idea what the best way to roll back to the previous Access Connections version?

I am also having this problem. I thought my DLink wireless access point was the problem, but maybe it is 5.83.

Hi
Same problem here with the Intel BGN/Wimax; even removed access connection and still same problem. Using an apple airport extreme. So what seems to work is to go into properties and force the card to stay on 2.4Ghz instead of switching between 2.4 and 5Ghz. You can do that by chosing to control Intel features under the properties tab for the adapter.
Thanks

Same problem on an X201s (Intel Ultimate-N 6300 AGN) and the suggested 2.4 and 5Ghz fix makes no difference.

This only happens when connecting to certain (Thomson, Draytek) APs. My current Cisco connection is solid.

All drivers (Lenovo and Windows 7/64) up to date.

P.S. I have no connectivity problems if I remover Access Connections and revert to the native Windows wireless control.
