broadcom 802.11n keeps disconnecting windows 7
My Dell vostro 3560 with windows 7 professional keeps disconnecting using the broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter. It does this three or four times a day. My laptop is 3 metres from router, and all other wireless devices stay connected. Sometimes rebooting laptop resolves problem....sometimes reseting the adapter solves problem but not every time. It seems eventually the laptop picks up the wifi in its own time. Please can someone advise me on this

I solved the issue upgrading Broadcom BCM43xx drivers version 7.12.39.28 from a lenovo package (not WHQL)
************************************************************
* Product: Lenovo Device Software
* Release: Production Version
* Version: 7.12.39.28
* Target Driver: Broadcom Wireless Driver
* Target Driver Version XP :
* Target Driver Version Vista:
* Target Driver Version Win7: 7.12.39.28
* Date: 11/10/2015

Too bad DELL has not published updated drivers on its support download database.

Mine does not have this option listed, but I was able to disable "n" on the router and this fixed the issue.
This was a workaround.
Now it is fully working also using "n" mode after upgrading Broadcom BCM43xx drivers to version 7.12.39.28 from a lenovo package (not WHQL)
