Dell :: Latitude D360 - Wireless Network Not Working In Some Locations
Sep 11, 2012
Im running windows 7 home premium. I have a Dell Latitude D360. My laptop will connect at home or at family's wifi however it will not connect at school. There are two available wifi connections and it will not connect to either. I have followed my university's instructions to connect to the internet but no good. When I run troubleshooter the error says "unable to configure ip address" or something along those lines. I have reinstalled the network adapter, changed firewall setting. I have tried just about anything I can think of.

My Latitude D630 has been dropping internet connection all the time for the past three days. I looked up similar problems on this blog: a) cleared the DNS cache, b) downloaded windows XP- service pack 3, & 3 network software recommended for my laptop by Dell from the website and updated to the Intel PROSET/Wireless WIFI connection utility, d) ran ipconfig/all from C prompt and know the ethernet connections are disabled, e) called and checked with our local ISP and cleared the connection from their end. To sum it, I have tried everything I know and am still not able to maintain a steady connection to the net using WIFI. However I am able to connect using the cable to the router, so my net provider said the problem is with the wireless connection on the laptop. I didnt have this problem before.

My friend's computer can connect to it but mine doesn't detect it even when the router is really close it's a 50 Mbps so I at least dont think it's the speed problem. My driver is Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band Mini-card.

I did a custom reinstall on my dell latitude e5420 laptop using dell windows 7professional 64bit sp1dvd and now my wireless network is not working. I tried turning the switch on and off, restarted my laptop, and I also went to dell suport and downloaded all the recomended drivers and it still doesnt work.
I went to device manager and noticed that under "other devices" there is a yellow exclamation mark on the network controller.

I have a brand-new Dell Latitude E5420 laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit) on it and it turns out that its wireless is not working. I turned on the physical switch and the little blue antenna lit up for a few seconds and then went off. When I look in the device manager it only shows these:I tried downloading the right drivers from DELL's site (their automated system claims that I need A02 for my WLAN 1530 Half Minicard) - but they wouldn't install, giving me the error log reproduced below[CODE]

I haven't installed anything new lately, nothing that would affect the wireless, but my wireless suddenly stopped working. My wireless has been working successfully for the past 2 years no problems till now. I have a Dell Latitude E6410 my computer is running Windows 7 32bit. When I open up the DW WLAN Card Utility it says "There are currently no wireless adapters available and enabled. Please enable any available wireless adapters before accessing this configuration utility. I tried reinstalling drivers for the wireless but my computer says "no compatible hardware found".
Also the under the wireless adapters section of Device Manager there isn't an adapter for wireless, but there is an unknown device.
Here's a View at my Device Manager [URL]
I've tried to use computer restart magic but no luck there.
Also, my computer is running on a university network. My roommate's wireless is working fine. Also I've already system restored to a point where I know it was working, no luck...

I can't turn on the Wifi switch (Fn + F2) and then I realized its possible it doesn't have a driver so I downloaded the Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller so far and its still not working. Here is the what is on my device manager.

I have a DELL Latitude 630 running Windows Vista. I checked into a hotel and just cannot find the wifi network on this laptop..IT is a named network and yet all i see is an unnamed network on my list of networks found. My blackberry device can easily locate the network..but the laptop simply refuses. I have tried restarting, playing around with the advanced propoerties of the wifi adapter but all in vain. I can use the office wifi ont he same laptop without any issue..but not in my hotel.

I was given a dell latitude cpx laptop running windows xp recently with wireless b network adapter. My modem/router is a 2wire gateway DSL . When I brought the laptop home, it did not connect to my wireless network. It was able to find my ssid though, and the signal was weak even if I was close to the modem/router. Anway, someone suggested I switch from WPA to WEP encryption because old network adapters can only detect wep encryption ( or something like that) . So I did, and still no internet connection. i tried to ping yahoo.com and still not working. My DNS and Ip adress are set to automatic and still no internet. This laptop doesn't have an LAN port, so i guess it connects through internet wirelessly only. Someone also suggested i update my drivers for wireless adapter but i don't have the original disc that came along with it. This laptop was able to connect without problem before from a different network but not mine like a week ago.. I also have2 other laptops within this network and I never had a problem with it connecting wirelessly.

My laptop (Dell Latitude D630) suddenly stopped "seeing" my wireless network. The Windows diagnostic seems to imply that I should "turn on" my wireless card. However, when I check the hardware settings in the control panel, it says it is working properly.

I cannot utilize my Ethernet connection when my Dell Latitude D630 is connected to a docking station. I have tried this on two different docking stations. I also have another Dell laptop that I have used in the one of the same docking stations and the ethernet connection is fine. I'm looking for assistance to troubleshoot this (even just determining if I can replace the connector and how I determine what type I need)

I have a Latitude D810. recently unable to get connection on wireless or wired. Lights are on on port plug.I can see the network, when I run troubleshooter on the Proset/Wireless Wifi Connection utility It says the wireless adaptor failed to get IP address and could be due to authentication failure with the network, incorrect wireless security passwords or because of DHCP server malfunction.I did the passwords, checked the router, all is ok there. My new computer works fine on this wireless network as well as my wired desktop. I suspect this happened as a result of a security change that windows XP or whatever security soft ware that's in there did, but cannot figure out how to undo or reset this.

I have a recently rebuilt D600 running XP Prof XP3 full patched. The machine was a clean build on a new disk about 2 months ago and all has been working well (excepting the Fujitsu HDD which seems to be going bad as I type, but that's a different issue!).i was offer via Microsoft Update: "Dell driver update for Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card" 2 days ago (mid August 2009). This is a Dell supplied update distributed via MS. Also offered (and installed) at the same time was "Darfon - Other Hardware - Bluetooth Devices". Since installing these (and the installs reporting as completing correctly) I keep getting:Dell Wireless WLAN Card Wireless Network Controller encountered a problem and needed to close.and Dell Wireless WLAN Card Wireless Network Controller has encountered a problem and needs to close.rror dialogues. These pop up every 30 seconds or so and seem to be related to the Dell TrueMobile 1300 update.Looking in the Windows directory there is no uninstall directory for this update unlike the MS updates. So I now either need to:get the updates to work properly Remove the updates and get back to a working condition if you wonder why I applied the updates...why repair something that's already working...I have had Bluetooth sporadic connection issues with this laptop with a BT GPS unit. The same BT GPS unit works perfectly on a D610 but on this D600 after initial connection there can be repeated connection loss requring the BT GPS unit to be moved around, after which BT connection is re-established only to fail a while later. As the same GPS works without problem with the D610 my presumption has been the issue is a BT stack issue on the D600 BT implementation.

problem with my Dell Latitude D600 Laptop,I tried re-installing my OS, so now with a fresh new OS the wireless capabilities worked fine, but only for the first day, then the next morning the whole problem began again. Now it would say " No supported wireless adapters found" and when i would open the device manager some devices would have the yellow exclamation point, some of the devices would say "Intel PCIC compatible PCMICA controller" and " PCMICA MTD-0002" or just "card bus controller" and many other ones that would alternate when they appear. And also sometimes my network adapters would completely disappear from the list. I also tried scanning my whole drive for viruses and nothing was found.
Then i found that if you disconnect the wireless adapter physically and re connect it, it might work, but it didn't. I should also add that before this problem for some time i had another problem with the same laptop that had to do with the battery malfunctioning, and it displays a 4 orange , 1 green pattern sequence on the LED charge display. But it had never affected any of the laptops hardware or software before, so I don't know if that might have anything to do with it.

I'm trying to hook up my boss's service laptop (the aforementioned Dell Latitude D830) to a Netgear GS108 router so that he can check out footage from a couple of Pelco Sarix IP security cameras.Long story short, not only does the included software not detect the cameras, upon closer inspection, I cannot ping the Netgear router from an XP command prompt (when trying to do so, I received "Request timed out" messages, then Sent 4, Received 0, Lost 4, 100% loss).
Additional info- This PC has had quite a lot of setup work done to it so that it would run DOS as it is used to connected to a 15-year-old fire alarm system for programming and auditing purposes. This happened well before I was hired and my boss is not a computer person so the extent of this work is basically beyond what I can readily see- namely a partitioned HDD with DOS and a dual boot. The connection between the fire system and the PC is a serial connection facilitated by an actual serial port in the laptop. I don't know what effect, if any, this has had on the XP (sp3) portion of things.
This PC is not generally on a wired network; I mention this mainly to say its not online at work, doesn't receive an IP address from a DHCP somewhere, etc. My boss says he sometimes takes it home and connects to his home WiFi with it however. Additionally, it is not a device that belongs to our customer so it cannot be placed on their network (which is the only network and internet connection available to me). When I plug the CAT5 cable into the laptop, both LEDs flash very briefly, then a single orange LED illuminates solidly and stays that way. On the router, I get two green LEDs (which signifies gigabit speed, apparently). If I open Control Panel and click on Network Connections, I see the NIC and it appears to be connected with no issues. Double-clicking the icon shows Status: Connected at a speed of 1.0Gbps.
The IP cameras work fine. I took them home, connected them to my own home router (which other than opening some game ports, I've done nothing special with; a Linksys WRT54G). The cables I'm using are the same ones I used at the house. Note that I did NOT use this laptop when I tested them at my house- I used my own desktop PC (nothing special, except I have no antivirus, software firewall, etc.- read on).The Netgear router is technically an unknown quantity, but it is literally brand-new out of the box this morning. I had this same issue I'm currently having with a couple of "found" routers (meaning my boss/ co-workers probably found them in the trash somewhere). Naturally, I assumed both routers were bad based on the fact that the cameras worked fine at my house (again, with my PC- not this Dell laptop).
There is protective software on this PC. I have disabled the Windows Firewall via Control Panel and in Norton 360, I've enabled "Silent Mode", disabled Smart Firewall and Anti-Virus Auto Protect. I'm loathe to completely uninstall this suite because of some of the stories I've heard my boss tell about the users on his home network. This PC is the sole link to the customer's fire alarm system and has been configured (again, long before I was hired) extensively to do so. What I'm looking for mostly is something I'm missing. When I first began having issues with this system, I went into the LAN Properties for the NIC, turned off the "Obtain IP Address Automatically), and entered 192.168.1.10 for the IP, 255.255.255.0 for the subnet, and 192.168.1.1 for the gateway (based on the Netgear router's published default IP setting). When that didn't work, I tried all of the above and switched the gateway to 192.168.0.1 as the manufacturer seemed to indicate it could be either address. Same results.

I have a Latitude D820, Windows XP, SP3. At my office I have a regular docking station but at home I have a D/Dock docking station. When I dock the 820 at home the Broadcomm network card works flawlessly. When I dock it in the office, it will occasionally work but most of the time the link light and data light on the docking station are on solidly and XP reports that the cable is unplugged. I have tried two different docking stations with identical results and also tested the cable by plugging it into the docking station that holds a D810. With the D810 it worked normally.

Therefore i cannot connect to any websites and i get a connection error. I check my connection though and it is running through an excellent connection.

I have a small home with two clusters of 2-3 devices which use the Internet - one ground floor, south corner, and the other top floor, north corner. I have a wireless router (Netgear N750) in the ground floor south connected to my cable modem. All devices in the area of the existing router are plugged into it (Cat5 cable). The devices in the top-north corner use wireless to communicate with the down-south router.
Running cable drops is not in scope for me, as we have a finished basement and I would have to blind drill horizontally across 50' of flooring and joists.
Tried running cabling through heat vents using a wireless camera mounted to a cable puller and all I did was discover some areas of my home that appeared to be four-dimensional. Attic not accessible in locations required for cable drops.Tried powerline devices and performance was much worse than wireless - I know that's a major YMMV situation but the Netgear ones I tried had like 5 Mbps connection rates. I also could not connect from other outlets - I have read if you had electrical work installed and have new lines run it can impact powerline performance. That may be the case in my home.
My questions:
A. I have OK to poor signal strength in top-north and top rate is ~ 150 MBps off what is supposed to be 300N router. Would I get better performance if I installed a wireless router in top-north and connected the top-north devices to it? Down-south performance is fine so it's not the cable modem/internet connection.
B. I believe I'd set top-north router up as a wireless client. I've experimented with Tomato and DD-WRT but don't know how to evaluate. Any tradeoffs I should know about?
C. Any networking changes I should consider if I go with such a topology? (MTU, who does DNS, etc). Currently use router as source for DHCP and DNS lookups. Should I limit which router wireless devices may connect with?
