   We did had trouble with wifi-scanners, that they lost connection quite   
   many times and at the worst time, but after a whiles experimentation it   
   seemed that the trouble was the default power save mode that caused all   
   the dropped connections.   
      
   I never had this kind of trouble with my laptop, which I never used with   
   wired network, so I more believe it has to do with settings than wifi.
