I'm interested to see how the situation develops. Over a year ago, our doc used a tablet as his documenting tool until one day the tablet started having problems. The problems worsened until the tablet became unusable. I can't quite remember what kind of error messages we were getting, but I think it said something about memory or cache. I was never able to figure out the cause, but after a few days of using a back-up laptop the doctor decided that he wanted a new laptop instead of a new/repaired tablet and so we got one with 9 hours of battery life.
A few months ago, the laptop started dropping its connectivity to the network. It happens about once every two days (by the way, has anyone had a similar problem?). Luckily, it's not that great of a problem, because connectivity can be restored just resetting the wireless functionality on the router.
So. From my own experiences(professionally AND personally) and from what I've read on this forum, wireless is unreliable.
Also, you might be out of your depth in diagnosing your problem. I know how most people on this forum (myself included) like fixing things on their own, but sometimes outside professional help is needed.
