Dell 1397 WLAN - PC Gets Disconnected From Wireless Router After Connecting Laptop

Apr 13, 2013

I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7 and a PC with XP. The Laptop has Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card, i think it supports 802.11g. My PC has DLINK DWA 525 PCI WIRELESS card, this supports 802.11g and n. The wireless router is Belkin Surf Wireless Router (F7D2301zb).

Now, the problem i'm facing is when PC is connected first and later when laptop is connected, the computer gets disconnected. Laptop works fine. I have to restart the router to connect both.

Is it due to the difference in 802.11 G and N of Laptop and PC ?

Dell :: Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card / Connecting To WPA-PSK Protected Network

Feb 27, 2009

I got a Studio 1535 Laptop which comes with a Broadcom WiFi card that is named "Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card" in the Hardware Manager.

I tried to connect to my ZyXel WiFi router but though i had it all configured right, Windows would always come up with "you entered the wrong key". After playin around for some time i figured out that everything just works fine when i switched my router from WPA-PSK to WPA2-PSK. My router features both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK but since my other PC does only support WPA-PSK the router is set to that and i want it to stay that way. I just don't want to buy new hardware for all my other computers.

So is this WiFi card strictly incompatible with WPA-PSK? Does'nt make any sense to me because WPA2 works just fine! Normally they are downwards compatible aren't they? (Moreover, when setting up a connection i can choose WPA-PSK from the dropdown menu.

Dell :: Compatible Wireless Router To Match 1397 WLAN Mini-Card

Mar 11, 2012

I have a Dell Inspiron 1564 with the Dell 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. How do I use its Wi-Fi abilities to connect to the Internet?

Do I need a wireless router with a modem built in? Do I have to use a service provider, i.e. Bell,  to make the connection and

therefore pay more service charges per month? Is "Linksys" a good name in routers?  Should I buy the router at one of the big box retailers?

Dell Notebook 1397 Wlan Minicard Can't Connect To Wifi

Sep 8, 2012

I have a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN MiniCard and have been able to connect to all hostels wifi networks until now. There isn't anything wrong with the network itself because my iPhone and a different tablet can still connect to it.The network is in the list, full signal, but it tries to connect and sticks at 'Acquiring network address' then fails. I have tried the Repair button an it says it can't repair it because it can't give me a new IP address.

Dell :: 1735 Studio - 1397 WLAN Mini Card Upgrade

Feb 28, 2012

Now that I have a Linksys N4200 router I want to upgrade the card that is in my 1735 Studio. Dell support suggested the 5100 Wireless-Network Mini-Card. That’sall well and good but looking at the picture on Dell site it is about half the size as the one that is in the computer which is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN MiniCard. I don't think the 5100 will bolt in the slot, too short.

Dell :: 1397 WLAN Mini-card Can't Find Internet Connection

Dec 12, 2009

I've got a Latitude E6500 laptop with Windows 7, 64-bit.  I've tried connecting to three wireless networks and each time the wireless card manages to connect to the router, but is unable to connect to the internet.  When I connect using the ethernet I have no problem and I'm able to connect to the wireless using other devices.  I've downloaded the latest BIOS and windows drivers.  I've ensured the security is configured correctly, the wireless is on, the password is correct.

Dell :: Inspiron 1545 / 1397 WLAN Card - Slow Internet / Frequent Disconnects?

Dec 4, 2012

Older model Inspiron 1545' using the 1397 WLAN card. Has been working fine, until perhaps the past two weeks. Now it frequently drops out, requiring manual disconnect and reconnect. Tonight Internet very slow on that laptop.

There are other devices using the same wifi (including this iPad used to post this), which connect to the wifi and Internet no issue. To me, its pointing to the laptop - either the WLAN card itself, or something in the laptop starting to fail (the laptop does have issues restarting - where it won't do that unless left for say 30 mins).

I'm suspecting a recent windows update or mcafee security update - no other software has been installed or updated.

I've tried changing antenna setting from auto to aux with no change to the above. Have checked for newer drivers - the laptop reports the version we have is the latest ( from 2009) - although they are the windows driver. Running windows 7, 64 bit - as supplied by dell when laptop was brand new. should I give up on the 1397 card and use another USB wifi adapter ?

Dell :: 1397 WLAN Mini-Card Stops Working Only When Lots Of Data Streaming

May 15, 2013

I have a Dell Studio PC with a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. OS is Windows 7 with SP1. Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.00 GHz

In general I have no problems with my WIFI with simple browsing and most of my routine activities online. But any time I stream video (like youtube), music or download a large file, my WIFI spontaneously turns off. I need to either restart the computer or put the computer to sleep/wake it up for the WIFI to work again.

I have the latest drivers for the Wireless card. I scanned the forums and didn't see this problem reported elsewhere. I realize this is an old computer so I may have to install an external wireless adaptor, but I wanted to ask around before doing so.

Dell :: Studio 1737 / 1397 WLAN - MS Virtual Wi-Fi Miniport Adapter Dead After Hibernate

Oct 22, 2011

I have a Dell Studio Laptop 1737 with Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card and Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Some days ago, I bought a HP WiFi mouse (model LQ083AA). This mouse connects via WiFi and you need no USB-port for a transmitter. Very practical - if it would work probably.First I installed the SW delivered with the mouse. During this installation, also the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" was installed. The mouse connects via this adapter. And everything worked fine. The mouse was found, a connection was established and the mouse worked like a charm. Until I went to sleep. As usually, I hibernated the notebook. And after waking up the notebook from hibernate, the mouse did not work anymore. I found out it is because the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" does not wake up correctly. After a reboot, everything works again. And if I use the HP software to reestablish the connection, I receive the error "SoftAP is not available".

I tried several things:I un-installed the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" in the device manager and checked for new HW to install it again. But after it was installed again, it still did not work.In the device manager, I disabled "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" and enabled it again - but it stayed disabled.I updated the driver.I changed energy management, allowed the computer to switch of power of the adapter resp. disallowed that.Nothing I did worked. After hibernate, the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" is "dead". Only a reboot works.The WiFi mouse is such a great Idea, but the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" is such a mess.

Dell :: 1545 Laptop - Wi-Fi Not Working With 1397

Mar 25, 2013

I have a Dell 1545 Laptop that quit working without a cable connection to the computer. My computer has a model wireless card 1397. I cannot access the Utility Card. I get message indicating that a "internal configuration is inconsistent...and to restart.  I have tried most of the suggestions I found on the Internet, but no joy. Restarting makes no change---I still get the same message.  Utilizing network interview program, it indicates that the card is 'non-operational.'  When I check through control panel...system...device manager  I am told that the card is working (no yellow mark is seen). I seem to think that it is likely a software issue, perhaps with some "update" gone crazy.

Cabling / Cards :: 1397 WLAN Adapter Showing Attempting To Authenticate?

May 3, 2011

I have been trying to re-establish my wi-fi connection for over a day now. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with windows 7 and it has two wifi adapters, one is the 1397wlan and the other is a virtual miniport adapter. My carrier is at&t uverse/2wire and my service was disconnected for about eight or nine days and since then I cannot get my wi-fi back. The desktop computer works fine but my network adapters are showing attempting to authenticate and not connected for the miniport adapter. I have tried enable/disable, restoring to a previous date, ipconfig/release, and of course running the trouble shooter for Microsoft. The result is that they can't assist with my connectivity issue and that its either the adapter or my router. I can use the laptop with the ethernet cord but its not practical as the router is downstairs and I primarily work upstairs.

Cannot Connect To Internet / Wireless WLAN Adapter Disconnected

Sep 16, 2012

So earlier today I purchased a new video card, a PNY Nvidia Gtx 560. After installing the drivers through the disc, I ended up getting he BSOD, and my PC just kept on restarting automatically. I fixed that problem, and found out that I should install the drivers for it through their website instead. So, after restarting my PC yet again, I tried using the Internet (Chrome) and found out that I have no Internet connection. Now, I am writing this on my iPad using the same router and modem that my PC is supposed to be using, but I keep on checking my WLAN adapter and it says that it is Not Connected. Now I have tried every forum, every post, EVERYTHING related to this problem and not a single thing fixes it. Also, when I do the ipconfig, everything says Media Disconnected and that's it. PS, I tried unplugging/plugging back in my modem and router PPS, Is it possible that when installing my new gcard and psu that I may have messed up with something internally?

Dell :: Inspiron 1545 - Link To XP Drivers For Wireless 1397

I recently purchased an Inspiron 1545 from Best Buy that came with a Dell Wireless 1397 card and Vista.  Due to some special application requirements, I needed to downgrade to Windows XP.  However, I am unable to find the link to the Windows XP Dell WLan installer package for DW1397 for the Inspiron 1545

On the driver download center for Inspiron 1545, it has an XP installer package for a different wireless card. Any link to download the correct Windows XP Installer package for the DW1397 card for Inspiron 1545?

Dell :: Inspiron 11z (1110) With 1397 Mini Wireless Card - Internet IP Ping Fails

Mar 30, 2012

I have a Dell Inspiron 11z (1110) with Dell 1397 mini wireless card. The wireless connection lags/drops persisitently at any time of day or night. When I connect the computer to internet via ethernet the connection is stable. When I run a diagnostics on the wireless card all pass, except the internet IP ping. I get the following message:

The wireless router/AP for your network is working, but your computer is not able to use an IP address to connect to the Internet. You will not be able to connect to the Internet, although you might be able to connect to your local network. Contact your network administrator or wireless router/AP installer for assistance.

I have installed latest driver for the 1397 mini wireless card, albeit a couple of years old.

The wireless router I am using is Netgear Rangemax Dual Band DGND3300v2. I can get into the router administration area but am at a loss as to how to reset/re-install it.

At no point has a green light appeared on the printer to indicate any wireless connectivity to the modem.

Dell :: Connecting Printer V313w To Inspiron 1545 Laptop Wireless?

Mar 11, 2011

I have just bought a v313w printer & cannot get it to connect wireless to my inspirion 1545 laptop (windows 7)During the wireless set-up, it gets to the third of the five stages ok. These are configuring printer, resetting printer & connecting to wireless network. It fails on Acquiring network address & communicating with the printer!

I have tried the following without any luck, uninstalling & re-installing, powering down cable modem/router, changing security settings on router from 64bit wep to 128 wep & WPA/PSK, dell expert taking control of my laptop & trying to connect (which resulted in Dell sending me a new printer because the expert seemed to think it maybe a faulty wireless card in the printer, this is not the case becuase the same problem occurs with the second printer dell have sent me!). I have downloaded & installed the latest drivers for this printer from the dell website & I've switched off my security (anti virus/firewall) when trying to install.

I am completely stuck as to what to try next, the printer works perfectly fine from the USB cable.

Cisco :: 4402 WLAN Controller - User Getting Disconnected?

May 29, 2013

I have a Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller and 4 x AIR-LAP1131AG-A-K9 access points.We run a combination of [WPA +WPA2]Auth(802.1x) as well as [WPA2]Auth(PSK), most people have their own login credentials...The primary client devices are MacBooks and iPhones, with some Windows and other mobile manufacturer being the minority.
 
The Issue I have one user (using a recent MacBook Air, latest OS, using Auth(802.1X) ), that keeps getting disconnected for no apparent reason, the user account has been setup exactly the same as every other user and his laptop doesn't have this issue when connected to other WiFi networks.It's worth noting: I noticed this particular user has a lot of "Decrypt Failed" (currently 213) associated with his MAC address, no other user on our network has a single "Decrypt Failed" associated with their MAC...

As my wireless card does not support it what are my options here. Is there a magical link to update my card and start gaining from the maximum speed (30 Mbps or higher if I want) or I have to change the card by buying/installing a new one.
