I've had my Studio 14 for a few days now and it's working pretty well. I have a NetGear RangeMax 3700 dual band router. The laptop sees my 'g' network but does not see the 'n' network. I see through searching that some other people are having the same problem. I know it has something to do with this laptop as my wife's Latitude right over there on the kitchen table sees both just fine.
View 67 RepliesI bought my Studio 1558 in the State two years ago. Recently, my workplace built 5Ghz network for getting faster speeds.
I found that my laptop could connect to 2.4Ghz ('g') network only. It didn't find 5Ghz ('n') network.
I was confused because I thought DW1501 is capable of supporting 5Ghz band.
After I found the old post on Dell Community, I realized I was misinformed by Dell's document a long time ago.
Due to international warranty transfer, I gave China Dell a call and requested for another wireless card that can handle 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network.
They told me that they can do nothing except sending the replacement for the faulty parts.
I tried to convince them that I was misinformed by document. They asked me to prove where the misinformation is on Dell's website.
I gave them a link of the post I found. They told me that the post on Dell Community is not qualified as a proof.
The only conclusion they can get from the post is "Staff claim that DW1501 is unable to see 5Ghz. That's it."
Studio 1558, W7 x64 Ultimate SP1, 8gb ram, 500GB drive
I get a "No compatible hardware found" error when I try to load the drivers for the wireless card on my laptop.
I had to reload windows 7, ultimate x64 on my laptop. I've been able to install all of the drivers with the exception of the wireless card.
I've tried to load the R258276 driver for the broadcom chip as specified in my download with the Dell driver utility and dell system detect. This worked previously with the same os. I've also installed and ran Dell Support Center, PC check and System Detect.
My order lists the following wireless card:
WHDPC 1 Card, Wireless, Half Mini-Card, DW1501, 4313
I have an unknown device and a Network Controller flagged in "Other devices" in Windows Device Manager. I've deleted these and reran hardware detect and they both show of again as not having drivers installed. Windows update nor windows driver update locates valid drivers. I searched the forums and found a few links to other sources of he R258276 drivers, but got the same error msg.
I bought a brand-new Inspiron 15R laptop from Dell and the DW1510 Wireless N WI-FI card will only connect at a maximum of 72mbps. I've tried the laptop with two different N certified routers a (D-Link and Belkin). Routers are configured correctly for N speed and within 10 inches of the laptop.
The speed I am experiencing is nowhere near the 300mbps connection speed possible.
Cant' seem to find any updated drivers for this card. Just installed new AP's supporting wireless 'n', and can't seem to get the speeds past 54MBS. AP's are configured properly. Under the setting in device manager I can see the rate setting for 802.11(b/g), but not n. If this card is not 'n' compatiable why state that it is. Hoping to get an updated driver . My version is 5.10.235.12 1/7/2011.

Do the Dell Wireless 1506 or 1703 cards support 802.11n over 5GHz?

I have 2 laptops (Inspiron 1525 and 1545) and was wondering if I can connect to my Dual Band 5GHZ router with this? I don't see the SSID in my wireless area on my computer.
Are my laptops compatible with a 5GHZ connection? If not, is there an adapter for it, how much is it, and it is easy to do?
I thought that you just turned on the IPad2 and it would automatically connect to my Dell Studio 5010 DW1501 WiFi Half Card to my new IPad2. No way, I have spent the best of 5 days trying everything including re-installing Windows 7 Pro including the latest DW1501 drivers, but to no avail. I just can not connect. I hear that there is a patch to make Windows 7 compatable with IPad?

I have the E4200. I have two networks, a 2.4 for internet, and a 5gHz for media. I want to have a wired connection to the 5gHz network as some of the media is on my PC. However, it seems I can only have a wired connection to the 2.4gHz network. Is there any way to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an E4200v2 configured with an n-only 5GHz network and a mixed 2.4GHz network. Our MacBooks and iPad connect to the 5GHz network, and everything else (iPhones, TVs, etc) connect to the 2.4GHz network. If I disable "WMM" on the QoS screen, nothing can connect to the 5GHz network. Those same devices can connect to the 2.4GHz network, but not the 5GHz. The MacBooks, for example, get a connection timeout error, and the iPad just says "cannot connect." This doesn't seem quite right. I don't absolutely need to disable WMM, but I wanted to make sure that normal WiFi Internet traffic didn't get priority over local wired Mac->AppleTV streaming or voice calls from our wired Vonage box.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI Recently purchased the DAP1522 to use as an entertainment bridge for my xbox 360, BR player and dish network receiver I also upgraded my router a WRT5GS running tomato to a Linksys E4200 going from G to N while i had my Xbox and BR connected wireless I didn't have the Dish receiver hooked up so i thought by using the DAP i would be upgrading my network and connecting my Dish receiver no brainier right and everything works so far.But here's the question with all the hype of the benefits of the 5ghz channel , well it's not hype it certainly makes sense but from what I see the products have to be compatible shouldn't what I'm connecting be compatible they say your gaming console specifically and streaming movies i would think . Any configuration tips I read somewhere that with an E3200 router they had to set the 5ghz channel to like 37 for the DAP to see that channel its all getting a little overwhelming here's whats in the house A Mac Power PC pre Intel using a Asus NB13 USB 2.4ghz its the only thing i could find with speeds over 100Mbps A windows 7 machine hardwired gig connection another windows 7 pc downstairs hardwired a netbook with a wireless connection and lastly a DECT 6.0 phone system who knows what interference these produce.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was able to connect to my 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks just fine. Now today I get a message that the connection timed out whenever I try and connect to the 5ghz. I have done a 30/30/30 reset, and still no joy. The one thing I haven't done yet is a 30/30/30 with a configuration from scratch. I will probably try that later. I've done the usual things like change the channel and all that, still no go. Other things I've done, change the network name, change the MTU, restart my machine. However, this is happening on other devices as well. The 2.4ghz network, solid as a rock.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy network is discoverable, but my machines will not connect (they were connected previously). They can connect to the 2.4gHz network, but not the 5 (I use the 5 for streaming media and gameplay). Windows 7 says it's unable to connect.
View 8 Replies View RelatedBy default, 802/11a/n is set for backhaul communication.Does that mean that if most of my clients are on 5ghz, Mesh network is not a preferred design to go? Reason being:- client communication on a/n radio might disturb the traffic of the whole cell and of all the MAPs that connect to the network through that MAP.

View 7 Replies View Related2 days ago my e1000 died, so I went big and bought the e4200 (due to newness, its already loaded with Firmware 1.0.03 build 14) to aleviate my networking woes. I'm running into an issue where I'm utilizing both the 2.4Ghz bands and the 5Ghz band. My desktop as an AE1000, and I'm utilizing that on the 5Ghz band. Everything else in the house (Dell laptop, 2x iPhone 4 and an HP printer) are all connecting to the network wirelessly.
I have had 0 network issues with regards to my wired connections, or my 5Ghz connection. But my 2.4Ghz connection will continuously be unavailable. I have both bands set to brodcast, they have different names so my AE1000 can connect via 5Ghz band. Both yesterday evening, and this morning, my phones, laptop and printer cannot connect, and for the most part, the network doesn't show up on available networks. When it does show up, the devices can't connect.I'm proficient enough to do the general home networking, but I'm at a loss as to how to fix this, without a daily reboot of the router (which seems excessive and unwarranted for a 2 day old e4200 [or any router to be honest]).
I recently install Windows8 Enterprise build 9200 on my Dell XPS L502X and everything is working fine so far except my modem. In device manager its installed properly but the network manager doesn't list it as an option to connect to (as it usually would in win7),

find a 3x3 (450mbps) WiFi antenna for the 802.11n 5GHz band? I'm pretty much looking for something similar to this, which works at 2.4GHz:
[URL]
I've done a considerable amount of searching and have not been able to come up with anything. Individual 5GHz dipole antennas can be bought online, but these would be a sub-optimal solution for me, as I would like the antenna to have a solid base so it can sit on the desk/bookshelf.Edit: Found a Proxim antenna that claims to be dual-band, but it's pricey. Also claims to use reverse SMA connectors, so should work with desktop WiFi cards or mini PCIe cards with pigtails.[URL]
I've had the DIR-825 router for more than a year now and I've never once been able to see the second SSID that broadcasts at 5Ghz. I've set up both bands with identical settings and I have a wireless N network adapter in my laptop, but it only ever sees the 2 Ghz SSID, never the 5 Ghz one. Shouldn't I be able to see it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using the Asus RT-n53 for about a year now and had little to no problems with it. Lately, my wife's iPhone has been dropping its connection to the RT-n53. It was probably a problem with her piece of apple crap, but I thought I would update the firmware on the RT-n53. I found that my firmware was way out of date, so I updated to the latest version.
With the newest firmware installed, I can no longer detect the 5Ghz band with my PlayBook. Before the update, all of the other devices in the house were not 5Ghz capable, so my PlayBook was the only device that used the 5Ghz radio on the RT-n53. Now, the SSID for the 5Ghz band just isn't there any more. In the configuration settings for the RT-n53, everything points to "it should be working"... 5Ghz radio is enabled, SSID broadcast is enabled. I have tried changing the wireless mode from "N Only" to "Auto" to "Legacy". I have fiddled with channel settings, encryption settings, etc. Even tried changing the SSID a few times. Multiple reboot, and still, the 5Ghz SSID just doesn't appear on any devices.
We've been using an 655 in an NGO office that has grown to 20+ computers in two buildings (next to each other). The 655 doesn't seem to be handling that many clients very well so I want to get another one (perhaps a more powerful unit). We will stay operating on 2.5Ghz, have one of the units act as an AP in the other building (too bad we can't bridge with these). Most of the router activity is LAN based (server, etc). Our Internet connection is only 256kbps satellite (and is proxied first through the server). But the LAN performance is not good when many clients are active and some services on the router will freeze and require reboot several times a week, assuming b/c it's overtaxed.
1. know if the 825 will perform better in in 2.5ghz only mode than the 655? Seems that it has more RAM. Newer processor too? The tests I saw online showed that the 655 outperformed the 825 in simultaneously connections, but I assume that was probably in dual mode. I want to know if the 825 will be better in 2.5ghz only mode. We won't need 5ghz mode.
2. Is there another newer DLink I should consider that would provide better capacity and throughput on 2.5ghz only? However, it is ciritical that we keep the same feature set for security (IP based access control rules to various IP ranges on the Internet).
3. It would be awesome if some DLink supported even more sources and/or destinations per access control rule. We use these extensively and the 655 B1 2.01 build has several bugs for access control rules. Is there any DLink that has more robust access control or is it about the same for all?
trying to upgrade home network and found a dual-band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz router. Appears that none of out newer Toshiba laptops and neither of our brand new Asus laptops recognize the 5Ghz network sitgnal. Only PC in entire house that sees the 5Ghz signal is the old PC in the house running Win XP.
