No. &nbsp; This has been working well and fast for the past six months. &nbsp; We are very well located for the strongest signal and very high speed. &nbsp; I think it is more to do with the adapter.

So this is in office? Still, conditions change.<br />
I usually try with a smartphone or other device to see how reliable the connection is. &nbsp;You need to perform tests or measurements, otherwise you cannot know.

Maybe a driver update has installed a less reliable driver. Or the antenna cables connecting to the adapter have come loose.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
