I understand that this question might be a bit vague, so i'll try to add as much details as i can.

i have a dell xps l502x laptop with an Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN wireless card. I've installed the latest drivers for the wireless card, and i'm pretty sure i have everything else installed correctly.

My issue is that i constantly lose packets on wireless. on every router i connect to. Any ideas where i shold start investigating if this is a software problem or if my wireless card has some hardware issues ?

I am using Windows 7, 64-bit, installed before sp1 launched, but updated.

Update: Sorry for the delay, i've been caught up with work and some personal issues.

@zackrspv : it was about 10-15% loss at about 6 hrs of pinging my router.

@slhck : i use this computer for online gaming / streaming, so the losses are important. As to how i know i have losses, i get random disconnects / the connection to my computer gets interrupted, all while other computers on the same network are ok.

Also, i use the ping command on different servers, and to my router.

I have tried the solution in Dell xps l502x wi-fi speed is dead slow and now insdead of constant packet loss, i have unusual latency to my router (using the default windows ping i get ~130-500 ms response instead of the usual 1-2 ms response)

How do you know you lose packets, and does it matter in practice? – slhck Jan 28 at 21:16
If you ping your primary gateway, what is your packet loss? – zackrspv Jan 28 at 21:18
I will update the question to make the answers visible. Thank you for your interest – Raz Jan 30 at 15:54
