Hi all, need some advice. I posted a while back that I have had issues with Medion Erazer X17803 Gaming laptop is disconnecting from the Wi-Fi quite often. If I game for 3 hours I get at least 7 Wi Fi disconnections and re-connections, but on Ethernet it never disconnects from the network. I have checked all power saving features and turned them off, check the BT smart hub and changed channels and everything and still the same. Update the drivers for the Wi-Fi card to the latest using the Intel software as Medion don't provide their own driver downloads. It is getting annoying now as Ethernet ain't practical with the laptop all the time.    Also I don't know if it is linked, but you know the Fn & F4 brings up the keyboard brightness adjust bar top left of the screen, that is popping up and going off every few seconds and I can't find a way to disable it as no keys are stuck or anything. Any help is appreciated as I have had it just over a year and it is now getting annoying and wish I could sort it out. Thanks again.   Anthony ... View more

Hi all, I need some advice. I have noticed that my Medion Erazer X17803 (MD 61441) is randomly disconnecting from the WIFI. Every few minutes the BT Smart Hub 2 Router log is showing DHCP address has disconnected, Deauthentications then shows it reconnects again and it does it quite often. If playing a game online it disconnects eventually from the server as the wifi drops.    I don't think it is as bad on battery as it is on mains, but I do notice that the icon from the shortcut to adjust the brightness of the keyboard backlight is flashing on and off on the top left of the screen after an hour or 2 of gaming. I have altered all the power settings so that it don't switch of the WiFI to save power and also disabled bluetooth. Have updated to the latest Intel Wifi Driver and all other drivers. I can't find a BIOS update on Medion's site for this laptop.   It is about a year old and is an annoying problem. I don't know if the issue is the BT router or the laptop. My other wifi devices like my Samsung phone or consoles never disconnect randomly from the router, only the Medion Laptop. Don't know if this is a issue with the Erazer range of laptops, or just a faulty laptop. It is very annoying and other than a re-format I don't know what else to do. Ethernet cable if fine FYI and never disconnects. Thanks in advance for any advice.   Anthony   ... View more
