Constant connection drops

Those updated drivers don't always work right, it only installs the most recent available but not always will it work. Sometimes the older Vista or XP drivers will work better than the ones that Windows 7 installs.

I also noticed there is an Atheros driver showing instead of the Realtek one. Maybe you have an Atheros adaptor you can use on your board. Seems that there is two different chip set used on this board maybe or two different LAN adaptors.

There is also a bios update for your board that mentions Windows 7 which might help.

no idea how to do a bios update lol but will try the drivers for the ethernet one by one slowly updating as i weed out the problem tonight after work

ok so after about 5 hours of stress testing the wifi card is working flawlesslsy, no dropped connections no nothing just 1005 speed and stability so first thing im doing with next paycheck is grabbing a nic card

So it was the wifi card. Did you try another one or did you find a different driver that worked?
