This is likely a problem where Intel's PSP (Power Save Polling) mode is not compatible with the APs on your wireless network.  This is especially the case if changing the power management setting to Full Performance helped. Here is a link from Intel documenting the problem.

www.intel.com/.../cs-006205.htm

Cause:

PSP mode is a feature that provides extended battery life for notebook computers. It requires coordination between the AP or router and the Wi-Fi adapter. Intel has discovered that some APs or routers may not implement the feature correctly or completely.

Solution:

Contact the AP or router vendor for updated software or firmware that corrects the problem.

Alternate Solution:

An optional workaround is to manually put the Wi-Fi adapter into Continuously Aware Mode (CAM). This disables the PSP feature. The Wi-Fi adapter can be put into CAM using the following methods:

Use Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility to Set CAM

Click Advanced > Adapter Settings > Advanced tab.

Select Power Management and uncheck Default / Auto and move the slider to Highest / Maximum Performance.

If the slider is already at Highest / Maximum Performance, move the slider to another setting and then back to Highest / Maximum Performance.

Use Network Control Panel Applet (NCPA) to Set CAM

Put the wireless adapter into Continuously Aware Mode using the following steps.

Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

Double-click Network Connections.

Right-click the wireless connection and click Properties.

Click Configure.

Click the Advanced tab.

Select the Power Management setting, uncheck Default / Auto and move the slider to Highest / Maximum Performance. Note: If the slider is already at Highest / Maximum Performance, move the slider to another setting and then back to Highest / Maximum Performance.

You can also go back into power options and change it back to maximum performance.
