Dell :: 17R SE 7720 Windows 8 N2230 Drops Wireless Signal

Dec 25, 2012

My new computer was delivered December 21, 2012.  Imagine my surprise that I can't connect to my wireless connection unless I am less than 10 feet away from the AT& T wireless router.  There are 3 computers 1 floor up and 30 feet away that can connect, so I know it isn't that the signal isn't strong enough.  My Inspiron 9300 that I have had since 2005 can connect and I am using it right now.  Here's my specifics.

17r SE 7720
Windows 8
1 T hard drive
8 G RAM
32 G SATA Drive
Inter N-2230
AT&T internet wireless router.

The new computer will hook up when extremely close to the router but it does lose the signal occasionally even though I am only 10 feet away.

Dell :: Inspiron 17E SE 7720 Wireless Connection To TV

Mar 25, 2013

I bought a Dell Inspiron17R SE 7720 with an Intel Wireless 2230 card. I was told I could connect a Netgear Push2TV adapter that would allow me to connect to my TV wirelessly. When I went to connect it, I was able to get the TV to the point of asking me to Launch my Intel Wireless Display. I go to my programs but cannot find anything that mentions Wi-Di. I am not very tech savvy, so I don't know what to do. Is there a driver I can download? Am I missing something on my computer programs? Should I use another method and send the part back to Dell?

Dell :: Wi-Fi Connection On Inspiron 17R SE 7720 With Centrino Wireless-N 2230?

Jan 11, 2013

I have a Wi-Fi connection problem on my Dell Inspiron 17R SE 7720 with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230. Every time after I log in to Windows I can’t use internet for about 5 to 15 minutes. After that time everything seems almost OK. During this time there’s yellow exclamation mark on my connection icon (saying that there’s no internet connection) just for a few seconds, than it dissapears and apparently internet connection is OK (signal strength is very good the whole time), but during this 5-15 minutes downtime I can’t use internet. Websites by domains don’t respond, neither pings do, but when I ping eg. google.com by its IP it responds quickly, so I thought it’s a DNS issue.Connection settings are automatic. DNS servers (resolved automatically) of my cable ISP respond OK when I ping them during the downtime. So just to check, I’ve set manually DNS servers to Google public DNS servers (both IPv4 and IPv6). It didn’t work.

I don’t use antivirus software other than Windows Defender. The issue occurs with and without firewall. I have the most recent both BIOS (A11) and Wi-Fi drivers (15.3.1.2 downloaded from Intel site). My system: Windows 7 Home Premium PL 64bit. I keep the system updated with Windows Updates. The issue occurs when Windows manages my connection and also when I have Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi software installed.I don’t allow Window to turn off the WiFi card (device’s energy settings). I’ve set Roaming Aggressiveness to 5. Highest and Ad Hoc Channel 802.11 b/g to 11 (I’ve seen such a piece of advice somewhere). Maybe it’s something with compatibility with the router, by the issue doesn’t occur of any other device in my network (Android phones, Kindle, iPad). I’ve got Cisco EPC3925 from my cable ISP. They didn’t give me the password, so for now I can’t change its settings.

Its “about” page reads:Cisco EPC3925 EuroDocsis 3.0 2-PORT Voice Gateway Model: Cisco EPC3925Vendor: CiscoHardware Revision: 1.0Bootloader Revision: 2.3.0_R1Current Software Revision: epc3925-E15-13-v302r125554-120725cFirmware Name: epc3925-E15-13-v302r125554-120725c.binFirmware Build Time: Jul 31 12:51:23 2012Cable Modem Status:OperationalWireless Network: EnableCable Modem State:DOCSIS Downstream Scanning: CompletedDOCSIS Ranging: CompletedDOCSIS DHCP: CompletedDOCSIS TFTP:CompletedDOCSIS Data Reg Complete: CompletedDOCSIS Privacy: DisabledDownstream Channels: Power Level: Signal to Noise Ratio:Channel 1: 5.9 dBmV 42.7 dBChannel 2: 6.7 dBmV 42.3 dBChannel 3: 6.4 dBmV 42.5 dBChannel 4: 6.2 dBmV 42.5 dBChannel 5: 6.0 dBmV 42.0 dBChannel 6: 5.5 dBmV 42.5 dBChannel 7: 0.0 dBmV 0.0 dBChannel 8: 0.0 dBmV 0.0 dBUpstream Channels Power Level:Channel 1: 52.5 dBmVChannel 2: 0.0 dBmVChannel 3: 0.0 dBmVChannel 4: 0.0 dBmV

Dell :: Intel Centrino N2230 - Computer Doesn't Show WIDI

Don't know if there's compatibility issues with other components of my computer. If so the list of specs is as follows: CPU- 3rd gen Intel corei7 3630QM. GPU- 2GB GDDR5 NVidia GeForce GTX 660M.

Dell :: XPS 15 L521X Wi-Fi Signal Speed Drops Significantly

Jul 24, 2012

I got my Brand new xps 15 yesterday, It works fine, looks great, I'm overall satisfied with it. (even though it gets warm all the time) 

Problem is, the WIFI doesn't work well at all, I'm 2 meters from my box right now, And I'm not experiencing any problems, but as soon as I get upstairs in my bedroom, my signal speed drops significantly, I can't even load a you tube video, I was downloading a game from steam yesterday, and the dl speed dropped to 6mb/s!! That's awful, If this problem can't be fixed, I'll be returning mine, and won't buy any other Dell product, I don't see how a laptop that pricey can have that kind of problems. ( because I heard I wasn't the only one, a lot of people have the same problem).

Dell :: Inspiron 17R SE 7720 - Network Cable Unplugged - But It's Not

Apr 14, 2013

I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 that is about a half-year old.  This problem has been occurring for as long as I can recall.  I'm running Windows 8, but this problem was identical with Windows 7.

My Ethernet adapter, a Realtek 10/100, works on boot-up.  At some random point it stops working.  It could be days later, it could be after waking up, it could be within an hour of a boot without sleep.  "Network Connections" shows the adapter as enabled but unplugged.  I can correct the problem by disabling the adapter and then re-enabling it, but that only works maybe a couple of times in a row.  In the latest instance (moments ago), I right-clicked the adapter to disable it, and then right-clicked  to enable it again.  Normally the adapter would then show the adapter as enabled and the cable connected.  When things really go wrong, a window pops up that first says "Enabling..." and then "Enabled", but it is still grayed out and not enabled.  The only solution I have is to reboot the machine.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT120N Drops Signal To Laptop?

My WRT120N drops signal to Laptop occasionally and I do not understand why. I tried to update the firmware, version 1.0 to 1.0.04, is that a newer version? My next step is to try to update the drivers in the laptop. The dropped signal seems random and only happens with the laptop. Other devices connected work fine.

Linksys E1000 - Wireless Speed Drops To Nothing When Main PC Is Off With Great Signal

Jun 22, 2012

I have a Linksys E1000 running on the latest firmware available from the Cisco website. When my main PC (Windows 7 64Bit SP1) which is connected with a ethernet cable is running the wireless speed is great for all my connected devices. (Android/Apple phones, tablets, family PC, etc). But when I shut down my main PC the wireless speed drops to the point where it can take 3-5 mins for google.com to load up. The wireless connection is still showing as strong, just the speed isn't there anymore. If I were to turn my PC back on, everything will load up almost instantly and be back to normal. I've tried reinstalling the router, resetting it all back to default settings and re configuring it but I've had no luck in solving this.

Linksys Cable / DSL :: Cisco X2000 Drops Wireless Signal - Requires Reboot

Jul 15, 2012

I recently installed a Cisco X2000. Several PCs running Windows XP Pro connect wirelessly. Also, we have an Android device and iPhone connected to the wireless network. We have a network printer and network drive connected via wires to the router. Most of the time the router and cable modem features work well. However, every so often all devices lose wireless signal simultaneously. It is not possible to reconnect to the X2000 unless I unplug the X2000 and plug it back in. After this reboot, we can connect again. Obviously, this is quite frustrating. By the way, we get acceptable signal strength after the X2000 locks out however none of the devices (computers or phones) are able to connect.

ATT DSL - Getting Constant Signal Drops?

Sep 12, 2011

I currently live in a fairly-large apartment in Downtown San Francisco and as you can probably imagine, I have ALOT of interference with nearby residential and business wifi's, microwave's, cell-phones and all that jazz.

I currently have the ATT Elite DSL package, which is I believe the 6MBPS(?) package? Anyway, it's the $40 package and I want to say it's either the second or third up from the basic 19.95/month subscription. Here's my problem: ever since I moved into this building, I get signal drops on my ATT all the time--like at least once an hour if not more often. I had a technician check the wiring and he even replaced the router box (they always do) in hopes of improving the situation but so far, no dice.

I have tried switching to different channels after using scanning to see what channels other internet users nearby were using, but I did not see any improvement.The best solution I've been able to come up with is to set my router to be on 802.11B only. For the most part,I have not disconnected but I do feel a certain amount of slow-down or lag compared to my 802.11G settings.Now,I might be paranoid but it certainly does take a good amount of time longer to load up pages and such as compared to previously.The tech suggested I look towards getting an 802.11A/N router, but alas ATT does not support routers of that caliber...not sure why. It's been years and they're still stuck with the 2Wire 2701HG-B model for DSL.

Wireless Connection Drops Out With Windows 7?

Mar 13, 2011

I recently bought a new HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC and have been experiencing problems when connecting to my personal wireless network. It seems that whenever I'm downloading anything or using the connection extensively I'll lose internet connection and the wireless icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen will show an orange star to indicate that connections are available. However if I go to available networks I can immediately reconnect to the network I was on.

I have other notebooks that run on XP that do not have this issue and use the connection without a problem. Also when I connect my notebook directly to my belkin router via Ethernet cable the connection has issues. I'm running my computer on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and my Wireless adapter is an Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi adapter which appears to have up to date drivers.

Dell :: 1490 Wireless Drops Then Starts Again

Dec 22, 2011

I would be surfing the internet for about 30 minutes, then all of a sudden the wireless connection just stops. The wireless icon says that I'm connected with an 'excellent' connection, but I can't browse any webpages and nothing loads.

After about another 30 minutes of no connection, the wireless starts again and everything is fine. I tried updating the driver, but it says that it's already up to date. I also did a diagnostics, and I get this message: "Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini Card (Failed)".

Dell :: Wireless Connection Drops Suddenly On XPS 15z

Jun 9, 2012

I am able to connect to my home network with a wireless connection, and the signal is strong at first, but then immediately drops as soon as I move the laptop more than a few feet from the router and then can't connect at all. I have not had this issue with two other laptops with the same settings. The adapter has been uninstalled, driver updated, tried different router and adapter settings, etc. with no luck. Is it possible there is a problem with the wireless antenna?

Dell :: N4010 Wireless Speeds / Network Drops

Sep 8, 2012

Using a usb wireless adapter will work on a laptop with wifi?

At my wits end on my dell n4010. Download speeds tested with speedtest.net are 1/3 (5mbs vs 15mbs) that achieved on an older dell with xp, a blackberry playbook and a macbook. N4010 has windows 7 and all drivers have been updated. 

I see some suspect a bad antenna within the n4010 might be the issue.

Windows 7 And N Wireless Card Drops Network Connection?

Dec 27, 2011

I got my wife a new laptop in October, and it runs on windows 7, since the 25th of december she has been having connectivity issues with her wireless card. She had 2 bars on her signal strength, and I wanted to take the signal strenght out of the equation, so I got a N range booster to put in the room she is usually in, she now has a signal strength of 5 bars. However she still loses connection to the internet.

ISP is Bell Fibe 25 Router is the bell modem/router in one. My son's Laptop goes in that room, and has no issues. I have made sure the drivers are up to date on both the router/modem, and on the laptop itself. The only thing I cna think of is that it is the card itself that is faulty.

Dell :: 2915ABG ACER Signal Up Wireless Driver

Oct 31, 2005

if there is any substance to the ACER claims.  My friend has an ACER lappy with ACERs version of the Intel 2915ABG.  They claim the following;
 
Acer has reinforced its commitment to mobile users with the introduction of high performance wireless using SignalUp technology from Acer. A 2004 study conducted by independent authority RMIT IT Labs found that Acer SignalUp technology provided 25% increased wireless strength against wireless notebooks from Dell, HP/Compaq and Toshiba.“The Acer notebooks wireless LAN performance was clearly superior to the Intel Centrino based notebooks tested from Dell, HP and Toshiba.” said Steve Turvey, Manager, RMIT Test Lab. “The Acer TravelMate maintained connections at a significantly greater distance from the Access Point when compared to the other notebooks.”
 
Do they have a modified intel 2915 ?  Can we install ACERs driver to get the 25% increase in performance ?

Dell :: Inspiron 15r Special Edition Wireless Connectivity Drops When Lid Closed?

Nov 5, 2012

Quick Specs:- Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium

- Wireless Card: Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230

Issue: Whenever I close my lid, my wireless connectivity drops by around 80+%. When using speedtest.net, I normarlly download at 5 megabits/s and upload at 1, but with my lid closed, I download at less then 0.4 and upload surprisingly at 0.8. My downloads and torrents basically grind to a halt, multiplayer gaming becomes difficult and websites/youtube/videos take much longer to load. I can check all these figures as I'm using an external monitor.I have tried a lot of things to improve connectivity including setting everything to high performance, disabling power saving modes, setting roaming to aggressive/high and updating drivers.

Dell :: New Inspiron 1764 - Low Signal Connecting To Wireless Networks?

Jun 28, 2010

I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 1764 laptop that I received on the 25th of June. It is "replacing" a Dell Inspiron 9100 that has gotten to be too slow and bulky for my needs. For support purposes, both laptops are running on Windows 7.Overall, I love my new Inspiron 1764. However, I have noticed seriously degraded connection/signal strength with the wireless card (Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-card) compared to my Inspiron 9100 (Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI card).

In areas of my house that my 9100 can get full signal strength (5 bars), my new 1764 is getting 2 or fewer bars. This behavior is also not limited to only my house, as I have tested it at my job and in an area less than 10 feet away from the wireless router, I have "Internet connectivity problems".

I tried twice this morning to speak with Dell support. The first person I spoke at least initiated a DellConnect session with me so that they could check some of my settings and such (however, why they went twice into my sharing settings I could not determine since they have absolutely nothing to do with signal strength.)

Unfortunately, I was disconnected from the session when I went to an area that had less signal than right next to my wireless router.I then got back on chat support with Dell and received another technician to speak with. I explained my problem, told them that I was in a DellConnect session with the other technician, and they looked up my support contract.They then told me that my warranty does not cover software issues and referred me to the software department and told me it would be an extra charge. I told them that I did not believe it to be a software issue in any way, shape, or form. They told me that it must be a setting issue. I have since spent several hours scouring the internet forums on Dell and other websites checking people who have had similar issues. Some of their issues were admittedly from software settings, but I have still yet to find anything that indicates to me that I have an incorrect software setting.

As of this writing, I am standing in my kitchen, typing on my Inspiron 9100 with a full 5 bars, while my Inspiron 1764 sits next to me with a measly 2 bars, and I am literally standing 7 feet above the room that houses my Linksys WRTU54G-TM router.Personally, I suspect a faulty wireless card, but how do I convince Dell to hear my case and replace it rather than trying to bilk me for unneeded software support?
