Or use a LAN cable and use the latest drivers for your network card. Never have issue with that.

Yes, our Wi Fi Modem will make audible clicks in our wireless phones. It is a steady clicking like a clock. Just think what that will do to an audio system with pour shielding. 
 
If you still have WIndows 7 you can run the DPCLAT meter from here:         http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml

Thanks for the link johnny. I've been having countless dropouts on my laptop with X3 like never before. I was starting to think it was to blame until I read this thread. I ran the DLC and immediately it showed red and yellow spikes. When I turned off the laptop WiFi the chart went almost flat. Turned the WiFi back on and instantly got a red spike through the roof. Then I logged on connecting to the outside WWW and got a series of red and yellow spikes.
 
The WiFi may not be the only thing causing the dropouts but without this little utility I may never know. I am anxious to see how it goes now.

I always mention it when I can even though you would figure by now everyone is aware of DPCLAT issues. Laptops are by far more prone to huge spikes. 
I've been using the sycon utility for a long time now and was disappointed when it would not run on W8. But the someone pointed me at the Latency Mon version. It's actually way better as far as in depth reporting, but for a simple quick view the sycon was cool. 

Laptops are also prone to throttling back on power consumption to save battery life. If you haven't already modified the power plan to have the CPU run at 100% and the USB ports to stay awake, that's good practice.

Most definitely. The only one falling asleep during a DAW session these days is the one in front of the laptop...

All set...great stuff.

You will find the USB Selective Suspend settings in the Advanced Options for Power Management Options.
 
By default, Windows will sever connection to a USB device, after some period of time, to conserve power.  When this happens, Sonar does not react well, so most folks go into Power Management Options, then to the Advanced options, and within those options there is a setting to tell Windows to allow or not allow the USB Selective Suspend behavior.
 
Hope that helps,
