Driver update after driver update, no luck. I use my computer on the top level of my house, and the router is at the basement. As soon as I moved further away from the router, I experienced constant drop outs, and the connection would always flounder between low signal strength, to completely disconnecting itself from the router, where I had to manually re-connect it.
