Dell :: 3460 Wireless Driver Doesn't Work After Restarting Computer / Not Installed

Mar 25, 2013

I have a Dell Vostro 3460 laptop with Windows 7, 64-bit.  My wireless driver is Dell Wireless 1704.802.11b/g/n.  I just got this computer in December, and it worked fine for a couple of months, then about a month ago, I started having these problems.  

Whenever I turn off or put my computer to sleep and turn it back on, my wireless connection doesn't work.  The wireless indicator light on the front of the laptop is not on, and I push the FN+F2 button (which is supposed to turn on wireless), but it does nothing.  I checked under the device manager, and the wireless adapter is not there.

After the first time I ran the diagnostics, I reinstalled the driver.  The I restarted the computer, and the wireless was working.  However, that night I turned of the computer, and when I turned it back on the next morning, the wireless was not working again.Other things I have discovered that sometimes work as a temporary fix:

Sometimes, if I wait 5 or so minutes, the wireless indicator light will come on, and then I can restart my computer and connect to a network, but most of the time, I can wait for hours and it never comes on.If I start in computer into safe mode or the BIOS screen or diagnostic screen, sometimes the wireless will start working after I exit that mode and start into normal operating.  For example, one of the times that I ran the PSA diagnostics, the wireless started working afterwards, but stopped working again the next day.  Another time, I started the computer in safe mode with networking to see if that would work, and the wireless did not work while I was in safe mode, but then I restarted the computer in normal mode, and the wireless came on.

One time, I went under Device Manager and did "Scan for Hardware Changes."  After that, the wireless indicator light came on, and I restarted the computer and was able to connect to a network.However, all of these solutions were temporary, and some of these solutions only work one time but not again.I called Dell Support a couple of weeks ago, and they said that my antivirus program might be stopping the wireless driver from starting up.  I have Trend Micro, which came with the computer.

Dell :: Vostro 3460 / WLAN Driver And Windows 8?

Oct 30, 2012

I installed a clean Windows 8 Pro on my Vostro 3460 (HD was wiped beforhand).However, for the WLAN driver is not found.Here is what I did:

- I can confirm that the WLAN component is activated in BIOS. Actually, it worked just fine running Windows 7 until yesterday.

- After a clean Win8 install the missing component is enlisted as "Network Controller"

- Installing the "Dell Dell Wireless 1901 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Dell Wireless 1901 Bluetooth" driver from your website (Network_Atheros_W8_A00_Setup-92GWH_ZPE.exe) didn't change anything,, the device is still missing its driver and thus not working.

- I tried to install the drivers coming with the driver CD for Windows 7. No change.

- I tried to install almost any driver on your web site related with WLAN, Vostro 3460 and Windows 8: no success.

Dell :: Inspiron 2200 Intel ProSet / Wireless Driver Not Installed

Sep 24, 2012

I wiped out a Dell Inspiron 2200 and re-installed Windows XP Pro SP3 on it.  Everything seemed to work fine until I try re-installing the Wireless Driver.  The dell support website pointed me to the Intel PorSet/Wireless 11.1.0.30, which I downloaded and installed successfully, with the only problem.... It does not work.When I open the utility it pops a message saying that the "Driver is not installed", and no signals show or anything. When I go to the device manager, the OTHER DEVICES shows a "network controller" with the yellow question mark, but when I connect to the internet (via ethernet cable) to update the driver, windows can't find nothing out there to solve the issue.

Dell :: Inspiron N5030 - No Network Controller Driver Installed

May 30, 2013

I have a Dell Inspiron N5030 laptop that I just installed a new hard drive in.  Prior to the new install had no issues with wireless connectivity, now I have none.  I have researched this issue for the past three days without success.  

I also installed a new wireless card which still did not solve my problem. As I said, this is a Dell Inspiron N5030.  Operating system is Windows 7 32-bit The network adapter is an Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.In the Device Manager the Network Controller is listed under "Other Devices"  The new wireless card installed is listed as a DNXA-95-D1. That is really the only information I can give you about this card.

Side note: I can get on the internet if I hard wire in, just can't access internet wirelessly.

New Built Computer - Wireless Doesn't Work

Oct 7, 2011

I finished building my computer today, installed a fresh os and all the necessary drivers that came with the dvds provided, yet the wireless card doesn't even appear anywhere in the computer. The ethernet cabled one does, but not the wireless. Trying to connect to anything wireless just gives an endless searching process, with no results. I can't test the ethernet either, my router is all the way into the living room, way far out of reach.

Specs:
MB: Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
GPU: Asus 6870 HD
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955
I don't think anything else is necessary, is it?

Dell :: Vostro 3460 Wireless Not Working In Linux?

Jan 2, 2013

I have a Dell Vostro 3460 laptop that I would like to dual boot with Linux.  I can't seem to get the wifi working in linux.

This laptop is listed as "ubuntu ready" but I can't seem to find a driver for it anywhere.  I have tried many solutions from all over the linux community but nothing seems to work.  It seems like most of the linux driver sets support all the broadcom chips except this one.  I need drivers for the bcm43142.

Dell :: Latitude D630 / Wire Doesn't Work But Wireless Does

May 17, 2013

So I dug my old Latitude D630 out from the attic, turned it on, and it still works, and it actually connected to my router!  However, only the wireless connects, not the wired connection.  When I plug an ethernet cable in, the computer does not recognize the cable, and tells me a cable is unplugged...which of course it isn't.

Dell :: Inspiron 1420 / Intel T7250 - Cannot Get Network Adapter Driver To Work

Feb 16, 2012

Replaced the HDD in my wife's Inspiron 1420, Vista, Intel dual core T7250s

Broadcom 802.11n adapter

Kept all the disks shipped with the lappy, Prepped the HD per the media rules, loaded windows and the mediadirect and the driver resource CD..  they all had autoexecs and seem to run fine.   Failed to connect to the net.. checked it out on device mgr, found the code 10 fail..  All other drivers seemed to have loaded..

tried to update the driver..  it said it already had the correct driver. - fail

DLed the Broadcom driver to a thumb and installed it - no difference.  Rebooted..  several times during all this.

Read here it might be install order - thought I might try it manually.  Looked for Intel T7250 drivers.. "not currently available" here.

Dell :: 5150 Upgraded To Windows 8 And Now Wi-Fi Doesn't Work XPS 16

Nov 1, 2012

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 with my XPS 16.  I know the Intel R 5150 is not working right with Windows 8 just like everyone else I've seen post on various sites when they upgraded.  My concern is.. when is there gonna be an updated driver!? You would think if Windows was gonna make it available to upgrade your OS to 8 that they would have all this straitened out.  Now I have to get rid of 8 just so I can have WiFi!

Dell Inspiron 1300 - Wifi Doesn't Work On Windows Xp

Nov 18, 2012

I have a Dell Inspiron 1300 which crashed, service tag . I was able to start it again using the Dell Operating System Reinstallation CD for XP Professional with SP1, that came with another computer. I then installed a Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8. However the wifi (wireless) does not work. I went to setup and assured that it is enabled. I assume that I have lost the driver for it. Before the crash it had a working wireless connection. I need to know what driver to install to make it operate. Setup indicates that my computer has a MiniPCI card 1370 Broadcom Corp.

Dell :: Studio 1737 Shows Connected To Network With Internet Access But Doesn't Work
