Dell :: Latitude D610 - Cannot Detect Wireless Networks
May 25, 2013
i received a dell latitude D610 and installed the operating system and the drivers, when i open the network adapters in device manager it says i have the Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx gigabit controller. when i try to connect to the internet with a cable it works fine but it wont let me detect wireless networks or if i unplug the cable an error pops up saying A network cable is unplugged i dont know if i have the right driver(s) installed.
I bought a refurb D610 and installed Win XP several times (after I found out that the order of drivers install matters). Last install I followed the order for driver installation.
My ethernet connection (Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller) is working fine, although I'm writing this from a separate PC.
Under Network adapters in the device manager, there is only the above mentioned ethernet device, NO wireless device. That's wrong, or not?
Under Other devices (with yellow question & exclamation mark) are two devices:
With Sysinternals Process Explorer I can see the following (wireless related) processes in the Windows/system32 directory: (which are started automatically)
However I don't see any wireless related icon in the system tray. When starting the "Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility" from the Start Menu, nothing happens.
PS: this is the laptop that I was using for several years for our company (still with Windows 2000) until a couple months ago, and then bought it back (for private use) from another company that refurbs them (HD wipes) for our company. Under W2K the wireless worked perfectly! I didn't get any software with it, but downloaded all drivers from the dell site.
I have a Dell Latitude D610 laptop with windows xp pro sp3. I need to do the windows reinstallation I know you loose most of the drivers when you use the reinstall cd one of them being the wireless driver. I was wondering the directory where that driver is installed so I can copy it to my usb memory card so that when I reinstall windows I can have my wireless and get online so I can download the rest of the drivers I need.
I have a dell latitude d610 laptop...until last night, I had no problems connecting my laptop to the wireless router...then..I'm not sure what happened, but I can't connect anymore. My daughter has the same kind of laptop and has absolutely no problems with connecting...so, it has to be something with mine. It's like it doesn't know that there is a wireless connection available.
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 D610 and my problem is that the wifi light won't come on. I've done the Fn+F2 thing and all that is enabled is bluetooth. I've gone to dell's site and updated drivers and done basically everything I've seen others do on forums. What's interesting is that once in awhile, my wifi light comes on and my wifi will work for maybe 30 seconds and then it disappears. When i go to device manager, my broadcom 802.11g adapter sometimes shows up but usually it isn't there. So it's not there with a yellow exclamation mark over it; when it is on there it's fine but it's hardly there ever. I've even removed the wireless card and reconnected it to see if it'd work but no luck.
My sister has a DELL Latitude D610. The network drivers in Device Manager has an exclamation mark and this only started when she turned off the laptop with her external hard drive.
Here are the things that I tried. Getting the appropriate drivers System Restore Restarting the Network service Uninstalling and reinstalling the 1350 WLAN Card driver
I have a Dell Latitude d610 laptop. It connects to the internet but shows limited or no connectivity. the cable used is ok as I can connect to internet with other pc. The connection was ok before, it happened just 2 days ago. I am using windows xp 2007.
I purchased a new Apple I Phone 4S with hotspot. I have two Dell Computers, a Latitude D830 and an Inspiron 15R, both with Window 7. These computers connect to the I4s hot spot.an older Latitude D610, Windows XP 32 Bit, will not connect. I can connect to the I4S via USB cable but not via wireless.
I have a Dell XPS L401 with Windows 8 PRO. My laptop is not able to detect any wireless networks even when my Wireless Switch is On.
My System information is
Host Name: OS Name: Microsoft Windows 8 Pro with Media CenterOS Version: 6.2.9200 N/A Build 9200OS Manufacturer: Microsoft CorporationOS Configuration: Standalone WorkstationOS Build Type:
i am using Dell inspiron model N4050 my laptop does not seem to detect any wireless networks around and i am unable to connect to wifi, networks works fine with ethernet cable.My drivers are up to date.I have done and tried everything i know of.
I typed "cmd ipconfig /all" and that's what I received.

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 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 am thinking about buying Dell 5550 module to my Latitude E6410. I know that for E6410 is designed 5540 module, but newer 5550 for E6420 has ability to use faster HSPA+ networks.
So my question is, any info on this combination of Latitude E6410 and Dell 5550 module?
I just got a new Hp 620(windows 7 professional) and still got the Dell D610 (Xp service pack 2)i used before i intend to establish a home wireless ad-hoc connection between these two laptops.
My HP laptop's wireless does not detect my home wireless network.The wireless is on, there is internet connectivity and other devices at my house detect the network but not my laptop. i hve already spent so much of time in finding out the problem.The driver for the wireless is installed and updated.The service is running. Checked the Wireless Zero Configuration.
So about a week ago my computer stopped picking up wifi signals even though I know they're active. I can connect to the internet using an ethernet cable, but my computer doesn't even detect the wireless internet that any device puts out
A couple of weeks ago, my laptop (vista) suddenly started not detecting any wireless networks anymore. Wired internet still works. Wireless suddenly went 'poof'.Since then, I tried basically everything. I rebooted the wireless adapter, rebooted laptop, the network is most definately in range of the laptop, updated the driver and all didn't work. Yes, the adapter is turned on, obviously. When I look into device manager, there are yellow exclamation marks next to the microsoft 6to4 adapter and the ISATAP adapter, so I also tried updating those. Didn't do anything. They still show a code 10. So i disabled both of them, also didn't work. I deleted and reinstalled both too. I even tried disabling 6to4 in the bios but didn't work.Device manager says my Intel (R) wifi Link 5100 AGN adapter works perfectly. Also updated it, un- and reinstalled it => no effect.
Though, even without those exclamation marks, i'm pretty sure my network doesn't send out much ip6 stuff, so it should still work... But it's not just my network at home, it simply won't detect any wireless networks anymore.Also tried windows recovery to put it back in the state before it wouldn't work anymore, but no effect.
Now my problem started happening after my desktop computer got unplugged. When I booted back up, I was unable to connect to my access point. Or find any of the other networks it can always see. I took my laptop and set up an ad hoc network and it came right up. The wireless access point has not been changed and it is perfectly fine. I've updated the drivers from Ralink, nothing. Uninstalled and rebooted, nothing. Checked the BIOS for any settings, nothing. Made sure the radio was turned on, nothing.
A few hours ago, I just restored my laptop to factory settings. Once it was done, I tried connecting to the internet but the computer could not detect ANY wireless networks!I already know it is not the modem or router because I have a Macbook Pro and two HP laptops that connect perfectly fine to the modem. I also made sure the wireless is on. The laptop with the problem is a Toshiba Satellite l645. It's running on a 64-bit Windows 7. When I try to look up wireless networks, it only shows 'MOBILE BROADBAND CONNECTION".

Just got a D610 with no drivers cd. Rebuilt the laptop with TxDOT image and now I get a message found new hard ware pci simple communications controller. Where can I get this driver at?
I have a D610 Laptop with integrated Bluetooth and Wifi. The evaluation period has expired. Please obtain a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba."
I had called Gold Support last week and was asked to download/install the driver from the support downloads site and then download/install the patch as well. The bluetooth manager does not come up when this popup shows.
A couple hours ago I installed AVG free antivirus and pc-cleanup and decided to uninstall them after seeing poor results. When I rebooted my computer, I was unable to, and still am, to find any wireless networks. I've tried disabling Microsoft firewall and restoring but everything has failed.
the virus is no longer a problem. Now, I cannot get the computer to connect to the internet via wireless OR wired connection. The computer will connect to the router and I can see other computers on the network, but I continue to see the warning triangle that says "No Internet Access." When running the diagnostics on the connection I receive "Windows could not detect the networks proxy settings."
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 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 have provided a service tag below. A friend has an old Latitude C600 running Windows XP Pro that was formatted and we are trying to get it to pick up a wireless router. It has the following in it...
1. mini card... 3com 3C556 (CN-06f553-48361) 2. 3Com Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller 3C920 (3C905C-TX)
Service Tag:
Windows automatically found and installed drivers for both devices after the format. We even tried drivers from Dell. We can get a hard wired connection, but nothing wireless. We get TWO Local area connections showing up in the systray... Local Area Connection 3 and 4. The card is detected in the bios. A 3Com diagnostics program (3Com NIC Doctor) from the Dell site says the NIC is ok, but the "Run Network Test" fails... that is obvious if we can't get a wireless connection. So why then doesn't it pick up any router? If the drivers for it are installed and it's recognized in hardware shouldn't it automatically pick up a router? This has to be something really simple that we are not thinking about.
