Dell Inspiron 1521 Network Adapter Not Starting

Oct 26, 2011

Dell Inspiron 1521 w/Vista Home Premium, wlan dell 1390. Adapter does not start at any time if I don't remove battery for a long period, or a shorter period if I depress the on/off button for 15-20 seconds. Works fine if it starts, but when it does not start it does not appear in Device Manager. If I close the lid (sleep) for even a split second the wifi will not come back on because the adapter is not active. The computer does not wake from sleep normally either, but that's been going on from the beginning and the wlan adapter is a new issue (in a long line of issues with this laptop.)

Dell :: Inspiron 1521 - DW WLAN Network Controller Using More CPU

Jun 13, 2013

I have got this new Dell inspiron 1521 with windows 8 and I am facing some weird problem with its DW WLAN NETWORK CONTROLLER.

it uses more of cpu resources (as seen from task manager) and causes the active window to become non active.

this makes it frustrating to work, means I am typing some username or anything in IE or Chrome or anywhere else and it suddenly becomes non active window (non selected as if some thing else is selected) and again becomes active in few seconds or I have to click anywhere in the window to make it active.

some times a pop up opens that "DW WLAN NETWORK CONTROLLER HAS STOPPED WORKING" send this information to microsoft.

This happens randomly and I'm not able to figure out when this thing occur, means I'm running on battery or power supply.

I have not used wifi on this laptop and I don't have wifi modem. I always use internet through ethernet cable.

One more thing whenever this problem occurs, I stop all the process related to WLAN in task manager and the problem of active-non active window and popup message disappears.

I have tried to uninstall and install the network adapter. also tried latest drivers from dell website.

Dell :: Inspiron 1521 / Taking A Long Time To Identify A Network?

I have an Inspiron 1521 and while I can find and connect to a network easily and quickly; it takes 5 minutes or so for it to really work. My icon says it's "identifying the network". Is there anything I can do to speed up this process?

Dell :: Wireless Connection Could Not Reestablish With 1390 Mini-Card On Inspiron 1521

Apr 21, 2013

For the past few weeks, I have been having trouble maintaining a steady wireless internet connection.  I intermittently lose the connection or the strength of the connection fluctuates.  I have an Inspiron 1521, with a Dell Wireless 1390 Wlan Mini-Card.  Also, I am running Windows 7.

A couple of hours ago, I suddenly lost my wireless connection and could not reestablish it.  I ran the diagnostic tool, which reported that there was a hardware or driver-related problem with my 1390 mini-card.  Now, when I go into Device Manager, it has an exclamation point next to it and it says "This device cannot start (Code 10)".

I have restarted my system and downloaded and installed this driver URL .  Device Manager now says, "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date," but there is still a Code 10 error.

Does this just mean that the card needs to be replaced?  I am not sure what to do now -

Dell :: Inspiron B130 / No Network Adapter

Mar 24, 2013

I have installed a fresh windows xp pro. os and downloaded a list of recommended drivers from Dell's driver page but some of the drivers will not load and I get the error "no Intel adapter on board." I am not sure what to look for at this point. I also downloaded a 32 bit gen adapter from Intel but it wont load. I could use a push in the right direction so I can get back to getting my homework done.

Dell :: Inspiron 1525 Network Adapter Driver

Aug 10, 2012

My network device tree now shows three (actually two) drivers not working, as follows:

Tuerdo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface Driver

and, ISATAP Driver

It is my understanding that these are used to send IPV4 encapsulated IPV6 packets across intranet, and that I need to update the network card drivers to fix the issue.  I am not sure if the drivers shown on the Dell site will fix this issue.

Dell Inspiron 560 - Cannot Access Internet With External Network Adapter

May 31, 2011

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 560. I am using a DI-524 D-Link wireless router. I have an Acer Aspire One Net Book running Windows XP Home it is equipped with an internal wireless network adapter. I can connect/communicate with router and access the internet with no problems whatever. However, when I connect an external wireless network adapter e.g. Alpha AWUS036H I cannot get a connection when I disable my internal network adapter. I have also tried the Trendnet TEW-424UB USB external wireless network adapter and the symptoms are exactly the same.

Dell :: Inspiron N5050 With Fresh Install - Won't Acknowledge Network Adapter

Dec 8, 2012

Computer got bad virus (the FBI one on the news) so after every attempt to eradicate it failed, I did a fresh install of Windows 7 onto the computer. However for some reason it won't even acknowledge that it has a Network Adapter. When I go to Driver Devices, there is no Network Adapter to even click on to see what the adapter is so I know what kind of driver to install.

So being an optimist I installed several drivers and nothing has worked. Its set on cable connection and I can't get it to acknowledge its wi-fi. I haven't tried plugging it straight into the modem yet. That's my next step.

I have a two month old Inspiron 1525  laptop with a 1395 WLAN mini-card. My network adapter has disappeared from my computer. When I run the diagnostic on the Network, I get " computer does not have a network adapter installed and configured" What is going on Dell? I called the help desk and the condescending tech said that I had to pay 250.00! This is a two month old computer - Dell - stand behind your products!

Dell :: Inspiron 1525 - Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network Adapter / Device Cannot Start

Oct 29, 2011

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that suddenly has an issue with Wireless Networking.  When I try and troubleshoot it shows me that the Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network Adapter has a Code 10 error and says the "device cannot start."  I have tried uninstalling and updating the driver, but it just continues to tell me that it has the best driver every-time I try and update it.If I plug the laptop in to the router with a wired connection it works just fine, so it is obviously an issue with the wireless adapter.what I should do in order to get this to take a new driver so it works again?

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 :: 1521 Laptop Has Lost Wi-Fi Range

Nov 12, 2011

The inbuilt wifi card on my 1521 laptop has lost it's range, I now have to be within a few feet of my BT hub or else the wifi signal keeps dropping out, have checked it not the hub by connecting another PC through wifi. I've taken various numbers from the original card but none of them matches up with the part No's on the Dell website, of the three numbers on the card I think the Dell P/No is DP-N OPC559.

Dell :: Inspiron 15R - Physical Wi-Fi Adapter Not Installed

Jan 26, 2013

I have recently gone as far as restoring my computer to its "factory" state to try and combat this issue.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is much else I can do at this point - the issue has not been resolved.

I re-installed factory drivers for my adapter, then replaced those with updated drivers from Intel. I was 'alright' for a while, but have had to launch Device Manager to re-enable the adapter, or restart my computer entirely because it failed to display my adapter at all. At this point, I get no result with either.

I have tried to 'recognize' the adapter as a new device (added hardware), but that didn't solve anything - it duplicated it in Device Manager and then displayed the yellow exclamation point indicating it needed new drivers - I attempted to update but it displayed an error, so I ended up uninstalling the duplicate.

At this point, I feel like it's the hardware that is the problem, and not my computer's ability to recognize it. Though I have been able to connect to my network in the past, its ability to function would be patchy, at best, if I could get it to work at this point. Should I try to reset/replace my wireless card, or is there something else I can try?

My 'network card' is fine, according to a diagnostic, and my Bluetooth works fine.

Dell :: Inspiron M5030 Wi-Fi Adapter Disappeared

Oct 20, 2012

Up until a few days ago I had perfect wifi, but then all of a sudden, my wifi adapter disappeared. It's not a matter of turning it off/on. It has disappeared from device manager too, showing only Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20). There used to be 802.11b/g/n WiFi thing there before.

I've tried system restore, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling windows. I succeeded for some time after I managed to update my Microsoft .NET Framework 4, and it worked until I went to sleep, but the laptop into sleep mode too, and in the morning it was gone again.

I'm writing this while basically sitting on my modem. The cable connection works just fine.I'm running a win7 x32.

Dell :: Inspiron 15z Wi-Fi Adapter Will Not Stay Connected

May 14, 2013

I have had several laptops, apple, HP, IBM Thinkpads, and others. No-one has frustrated me like Dell. I have the inspiron 15z Ultrabook for only 2 months now and it's drives me crazy. There are a lot of other forums out complaints out there that say the same thing I'm experiencing about the Wi-Fi adaptor of the Dell inspiron 15z Ultrabook.Within our family we have 4 laptops and sometimes when the kids are home visiting with friends there can be 6 to 8 laptops within our home online at the same time. But, I will have to make a correction, because the Wi-Fi Adaptor on the Dell inspiron 15z Ultrabook continuously drops off the net. It does it so frequently I’m embarrassed to tell others. It isn’t a fast fix either as it can take up to 20min to get the win-Fi adapter to start receiving internet signal. Sometimes it only takes 5min.  What is odd, all of our other laptops, both new and old, never have this problem unless the power goes out after the storm . I have updated all the drivers and followed the steps on a Dells customer support. I love the touch screen, the keyboard with light behind the keys.

BUT, I can't live with the Wi-Fi adapter that cannot hold on to a signal and ends making the simplest of work a headache. Just last night I spent over an hour trying to get back on a wireless connection and finally had to go to an old XP laptop to get online. The whole point in having an Ultrabook is having a machine that is portable, works effortlessly with wireless connections and makes where ever you are a virtual office.
