I have an Alienware M17X-R3 and I’ve been experiencing several networking problems with it recently- most importantly that I can’t connect to any wireless network. It detects all the networks in the area, but when I select and try to connect to one nothing happens. I can still use a wired Internet connection, though. “Troubleshoot problems” or “Diagnose” just tells me that I have no preferred wireless networks. When I go to the Network and Sharing Center, the “Set up a new connection or network” button doesn’t do anything. When I go from there to “Manage Wireless Networks” the “Add” button doesn’t do anything.
I’ve tried disabling and enabling my DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card, and reinstalling the drivers. I’ve disabled the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” option on all my network devices. I’ve used a system restore. I’ve run a scan with Malwarebytes and my computer had crashed by the time I looked at it again thirty or so minutes later; it had tried to restart but was unable to because there was “No bootable device”. I powered it off and started it up again and it worked fine. I also ran a Superantispyware scan that completed successfully without finding anything and immediately crashed, but restarted normally.
A few other things that may or may not be related:
-When I boot I get a message that says “Could not reconnect all network drives”
-When I booted I used to get a message from GoogleCrashHandler64.exe that said “C:Windowssystem32dbghelp.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.” When I went to msconfig and disabled all non-Microsoft processes under services and startup I no longer got the message.
slight change in the fact that after looking toward more drivers (newer and older) i have found i did have the 1510, however the rest remains the same. specifically listed in my m17x r1 component list as [code]
I chose to skip upgrading my wireless and got the stock intel centrino 2230 and then use the dell 1510 wireless card from my R1.so the main problem, back when i was on my M17x R1 with the 1510 wireless card and i connected to my router from anywhere in my apartment i rarely ever dropped below 250mbps (around that number, i know there is only specific speeds it will run at but i dont recall exactly) on the 5ghz band. placing the same card into my new system i got at the end of november i rarely get over 150mbps and its often slower or jumping around. now i know 150mbps is a fine connection speed for any internet tasks but the main problem with it isnt the speed but the number of errors. the speed also drops significantly if i move to another room in my apartment, which isnt often but just one wall and then dropping over 100mbps (and only with the new laptop) seems excessive. also using the site monitor causes the errors to jump dramatically.as of this typing my uptime was about 57 minutes and i have a recived packet loss of 380 according to the broadcom wireless utility which came with the dell driver package for the device. now the utility may be wrong and may not mean much of a loss when you look at the other stats shown (packets sent: 36600, packets recieved: 50000, total packet lost %: 0) but it still is making me looking for causes. so what im looking for is what could be causing the problem. i have tried the broadcom/dell driver and the microsoft driver. tried making sure the intel wireless program was removed. tried checking settings in the adaptor. disabling any power saving features on the card. as for things i tried with the router; i changed its channel, rebooted, unplugging for 5 minutes, moving the router to a slightly different spot. now the router says the N speed is up to 450, even on my r1 i never got over 300 which i was fine with and the router didnt change since my r1 dying and my r4 arriving. only things i havnt tried is swapping the antennas (which i dont think would do anything), and a complete reinstall of windows.
Background (only useful if your going to say 'use 2.4ghz band'): now the main reason i did this is because i live in downtown seattle in a somewhat dense apartment building where in the past any attempt at me using my previous laptops to connect to my home router would sometimes randomly disconnect or drop to 1mbps and be unable to load web pages or access anything on the web i wasnt already connected to. this happened on 2 systems i owned, my compal hel80 and my m17x r1 (before upgrading my router to have dual band). trying to figure out why i was having problems i came to the conclusion that using the 2.4ghz band in my area was pretty much pointless, there are over 30 wireless access points within range of my apartment, business and residential, add in other 2.4ghz items (wireless house phones, microwaves, bluetooth from gameconsoles, etc). with all the items in that band it was destroying my usability of a standard connection. this was more noticable as a problem whenever my room mate would get home and turn on his wii which killed my connection instantly. some of it may have been the router we had but at the same time it still happens when i use a laptop on the 2.4ghz band on my new router.
I recently bought an alienware m11x from Dell. The laptop is in perfect working order as expected. For the first few days I used only wireless connection. This connection was perfectly sound and worked a treat. However upon returning to my halls of residence I have been forced to use an ethernet connection, as they charge extra for the wireless. I had used the Ethernet connection for a long time with my previous netbook (Aspireone) and had no problems with connectivity.This is typically how the connection works:
1. Laptop turned on
2. Connected to internet (fast connection)
3. A short time later still connected to internet (slower / broken up connection)
4. Disconnected from internet (says cable unplugged)
5. Laptop restart fixes this issues (or restarts it to stage 1)
I am not technically great, but a flatmate of mine has attempted to solve the issue with no success, and recommended i contact dell.
I just got the Alienware m14x r2 few days ago. I checked everything and there was nothing bad with my new laptop.
But today, I realized that my laptop disconnected internet randomly while I was gaming or browsing, then it automatically reconnected after 20 or 30 seconds. Sometime it could not reconnect internet, and I had to do it manually !!!!
I searched how to fix this issue from the Internet. Most people said that this problem was caused by my router, but I don't think so because my old laptop and my phone still worked well and did not have the same problem with my new laptop !!!
My wireless card: Killer wireless-N 1202, and I updated the lasted driver version.
I have a Alienware M17 R3 laptop with the 1103 wireless card running windows 7. Until recently I have not had reason to use the Wi-Fi, though when I enabled the card I found that I could not detect any nearby networks.
I have checked the device manager for errors and have found none. I have noticed that the BigFoot connenction manager does not seem to detect the network card.
Should I reinstall the card driver and the BigFoot helper?
What software might conflict with the wi-fi card? What services should I check to make they are running?
I just bought an alienware M14x and about 3 weeks after i set it up the LAN and WAN adapters stopped working and i couldn't get a wireless connection or hardwired connection.
I called technical support and they informed me it was due to a generic windows update that wasn't really compatible with my alienware machine. So i did a system restore and now its working fine and i disabled automatic updates.
Its been about a month since then and now I have all these updates that need to be downloaded and I'm not sure which one will cause my network adapters fail again.
I am using a Dell XPS 12 on Windows 8 Pro and I am unable to connect to my house's wifi. However I am able to connect to my iphone's personal hotspot. is it probably my house's wireless is not compatible with Windows 8 Pro? I have searched for drivers but to no avail.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless network using an Apple Airport router. There is an iMac, an IBM Think Pad and a Dell XPS 410 tower (both running XP) on the network and all were working until this week. All of a sudden I can not get on the internet with the Dell PC. When I try to log into the router, it searches for a connection, but never is able to attain one. My network is displayed and I am using WPA security and have been entering the correct key. I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but with no success. I believe I was able to access a local unprotected site, but after being connected a pass word was required. I also tried ipconfig, but it just flashed on and then immediately off.

i am unable to connect to my bluetooth.
Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter is enabled & driver status shows updated.
I am unable to connect to the internet in wireless mode. It shows the available networks, but does not connect when I type in my router password. I have tried everything I know of. Uninstalled/Reinstalled the driver - I have an Intel 5100 AGN wireless driver installed. I disabled and enabled it. Didn't work. Running command prompt and typing in ipconfig /all doesn't detect my adapter device.
I also did these by running command prompt as an administrator: [code] and restarted my computer. I have a Dell Studio 1555 with Win 7 (32-bit) Professional. I know this is a problem with my Windows as the wireless works seamlessly in my Ubuntu.

All desktops and laptops in my house which are windows based are unable to connect to the internet, only the apple based ones are connecting fine. My problem is similar to the one craigs248 posted here [url]... I did have mcafee for my dell but i have turned it off and yet im still unable to access the internet, furthermore all the other windows- based desktops in my household are unable to connect to the internet.
Now that the wireless on my Dell XPS 15 Z is fine, I've run into some problems with internet connectivity with Ethernet cable. Since the beginning, I wasn't able to connect to it through cable. When I connect my laptop with the cable, it says that it's connected, and that it has an internet connection. However, I can't get on it... My browsers don't have internet, and other programs can't connect either. (that while it says that it's connected to internet, quite strange)... I was thinking of some security adjustment that might block the internet connection or something, I don't know.
Oh, something that I should mention... I was able to get internet through Ethernet cable when there was a firewall... But when there's no security to the network... It isn't possible to have internet and it gives the situation described above. (any other laptop can connect with the network, so there must be some adjustment issue...)
I have a Inspiron 8000 and I just formatted the hard drive. I had been using a D-link wireless USB adapter with a D-Link wireless router - with no problems, but now when I try to reinstall the usb wireless adapter it asks for a hard wired connection to the router and even then it won't install and will not connect wirelessly or with the network cable. it seems the internal Dell network adapter has been affected in some way and will not work - as you can see I don't have alot of pc savy..?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 15R N5110, using a TrendNet Wireless Adapter, and using SkyWeb Internet Service. My laptop is a little over a year old.On April 30, 2012, I had to have my hard drive and motherboard replaced by Dell due to some issues. It was replaced, but directly afterwards, I couldn't connect to my wireless internet when I was more than five feet away. I have contacted Dell several times about this and each time they give me the same answer:
Reset/Uninstall the current connection, reconnect to the connection, and allow it to connect.
Each time, it wouldn't work. Finally, after calling for the seventh or eighth time, I was told that perhaps my wireless card was bad (which I had suggested before, but the Dell employees told me that wasn't possible). So a Dell Dispatcher was sent to my house, my dispatch number being <Admin Note:dispatch number removed per privacy policy~RK> and my technician was Will. He replaced my WiFi card, ran an EPSA diagnostics test, to which all tests passed, and still couldn't get my Internet to connect. We were less than twenty feet away. He tried to suggest that perhaps it was because the wall was decreasing the signal, but that is not possible since my sister (who owns a Dell laptop herself) can connect just fine from anywhere in our home. He called Dell himself, who was told that I (the customer) should contact tech support.
I contacted Dell support and was told to contact the wireless division, who has told me to the same thing as stated above (reset, re-install, connect). I was told to turn off the power saving feature under my wireless networks in device manager. That seemed to do the trick for a few hours. Then, it went back to cutting in and out. I can't go more than five feet from my wifi adapter anymore when I used to be able to go outside with it. My sister (as mentioned before) tested this a few days ago. I have installed numerous drivers, and I'm not even sure whether I need them or if they're even working.
I have a dell inspiron 1100 laptop that i have a dell truemobile 1300 802.1.1 b/g PC card in for my wireless connection.

It goes through it's procedures and eventually reconnects the network. Sometimes it says "Connection Very Good" other times "Low" or even "Very Low". Several minutes later, it will do the same thing again and I go through the same procedure again. This might happen several more times then it will be okay. There are days where it never happens at all and then there are days where it happens every 10 minutes or so.
