Hi, have a hp 6910p and using the broadcom wireless utility. Unlike other models of laptops we have i.e HP6220, HP 6400 these 6910ps dont seem to be stable. The broadcom log file shows it takes a good few attempts to connect and eventually when it does, i ping the router and every 5 or 6 pings i get a request time out. After a few minutes it will cut out, reconnect again etc. Tried using windows wireless manager but same results. Also, changed physical hardware wireless adapter with another to check it wasnt faulty but again, same issue. Other models of laptops can connect to the same router with no issues so it has to be the laptop. Log file below
