Why on earth Dell ship this laptop with such unstable hardware is beyond me, searching the web I am definitely not alone. So far I have tried to install new drivers from the Dell support site, and also from Killer's website (drivers dated just 1 day ago, they seem to issue a new version every week, which is telling).Īny other suggestions on how to fix this? Its taken about 12hours to get the laptop setup so I am very reluctant simply to return it. I narrowed it down to the killer card by plugging in a belkin USB wifi adapter and the machine becomes usable and stable, but the second I re-enable and use the killer 1535 the whole network crashes.Ī bit of googling would suggest this isn't limited to my router type and the Killer 1535 is extremely unstable and unfriendly to routers. It only requires a few minutes of browsing the web (notice it particularly on Facebook) before the killer does something which causes my router to basically shut down the wifi side (router is a Drayek 2860n+ which has previously run for 2years without a single fault with many other devices). When not using Utorrent everything is OK. Windows defender and Malwarebytes could be part of the problem. This seems to have started happening from the last Preview releases until now. The problem being the Killer 1535 wifi card seems to be able to nuke my whole wifi network. When I am using Utorrent my RAM usage grows from around 20 to nearly 100 over a few hours and can eventually freeze the PC.
