I am having a very frustrating problem with my new Dell XPS 8500's wireless connection - Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz). Basically, I am losing my network connection every couple of minutes. The process goes something like this: 1) Not connected - Connections are available

Intel 6200/6250/6300/6205, Win7 / Win8 64 bit Enterprise Edition, Dell Update Package. WiFi driver version: 15.8.0.5

My eldest brother's Inspiron 15R cannot be booted even after I press/hold the power button. Unlike a post I have read, this situation is different.
