Hey guys! A MSI GT70 2PC Dominator user reporting in!

Just want to ask, anyone experiencing lousy internet connection and frequent connection drop while using the wifi?

I have on board a killer e2200 wireless adapter, and thus far i've tried everything from downloading the new drivers from atheros and msi website.

It seems to me that it has something to do with the killer network manager and/or the network driver. I can't seem to figure out which is the root cause. What i've done so far is uninstall all the killer network manager software and services. I only installed a bare driver which is currently running the "killer wireless-n 1202 network adapter".

Any ideas/clues? Its been a few weeks now and i cant seem to find a solution. Thanks!

I faced that internet connection dropping issue quite frequently, especially when disconnect and reconnect, sometimes I need to restart laptop/modem. You can see the connection but cannot connect. I think the problem may come from modem itself and your antivirus. Try disabling/turning off antivirus whenever you facing connection issue.

And can try to disable the killer network manager, not much use I can tell, the Win 8 version is better than the Win8.1 version.


Thanks for the reply bro!

Ya, i've tried everything and anything that smells like a solution ive found on the net. It could be the modem because i called Unifi a few weeks back to ask regarding the internet connection but they said it's fine on their side. I'll probably look into changing the modems, but when i use other laptops in my house there is no drop or slow internet speed. Just the msi laptop that im using.

I did had Norton 360 on, which ive since uninstalled, the problem still persisted. I've also disabled as well as deleted the killer network manager to no avail as the problem is still there. I have to add that since ive deleted the KNM a few days back and ONLY using the bare drivers, there are slight improvements, but the connection still drops but less frequently.

Just thought id share some suggestions just incase other users are experiencing this problem.

It's such a shame, the GT70 2PC is a beast of a laptop but riddled with alot of bugs and shits. Win 8.1 sucks.
