Dell :: Vostro 230 / WR940N Router - No Internet Access
Dec 23, 2012
I'm having the same problem with my Dell Vostro 230 Win7 64-bit Home Premium. Until recently everything was fine but now there is an excellent connection with my new TP-Link TL-WR940N wireless N router but no internet access. The TP-Link router replace a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router which I thought was the problem. I have internet access within Safe mode with networking. Disabling Microsoft security essentials makes no difference nor does removing and re-establishing the network profile. I have internet access via the wireless router and an Android tablet as well as internet access via the wireless router and an internet radio. I suspect there is a (relatively new) configuration problem with the Vostro 230.

I have a new Dell Vostro 3360 with a Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz) card. No internet access (wireless) from my home (other notebooks work perfect). LAN works fine. I have a AVM Fritz!Box 7360SL router at home.
On the other hand, wireless internet works fine at my lab (here : 802.11g, unsecured hotspot). Installed latest drivers and did even a clean re-installation (Windows 7 ultimate or professional) - problem remained.

I have a Dell Vostro laptop running windows 7. My ISP is a company called Scarlet which supply connection via an external modem complete with aerial. When I connect directly from the modem to the laptop via the modem it's fine. My problem is that I bought an Advantek wireless router which a friend tried to install, I'm not sure if he was successful at any point as it was some time ago. However, I am now trying to set the wireless connection up so that I can surf on the laptop and my girlfriend on her ipad in separate rooms. I currently haven't got as far as getting the laptop to work along with the modem and router, I think there may be an IP conflict. i want wireless router to work with an external wireless connection via my ISP?

I've had my Vostro 1000 Laptop for almost a year now. I had to reload the O/S. I put all the CDs in and downloaded all the drives, but now I don't show the WLAN card/connection.. nothing.
I can't connect to the internet and when Iook at the network adapters it only shoes the Broadcom 440x 10/100 intergrated controller.. My modem is only showing Conexant HDA D330 MDC v.92 modem.
I had the internal wireless with my laptop when it was given to me as a gift... and have been able to connect via wifi, etc.. but since reloading the O/S and all drivers, etc.. I don't have internet? Can't find this wireless connection?

I have a dell vostro 3400, and I can connect to any wifi network, and while other computers can get internet through them, I can only get limited access. Also, I am running connectify(internet sharing program), a virtual wifi router and I can connect devices to it, but they cannot get internet through it (even when my laptop gets it through Ethernet). Is this a hardware problem? Software, OS? I've had the comp for over a year and it's always worked perfectly.

I got my WiFi connected with good signal strength and also, LAN cable gets connected. But still the internet is not working. Not able to open any web pages. I don't have any clue. I've checked my modem which is working fine since I'm able to connect to internet through an another laptop. My laptop model is DELL Vostro 1500.

Today I replaced my motherboard to fix the graphics card issue on my Vostro 1400. After installing the motherboard I installed the driver's from Dell's site for the networking card.
I get an error stating device driver/software was not successfully installed. I tried a restore point, that didn't work either. I tried the original driver disc that came with the laptop - same problem.
In device manager it is showing: broadcom netlink adapter fast ethernet #2 - does that mean it thinks I have more than one network card? I'm not sure what to do next. I can't access any wireless from that laptop, not even from a hard wire.
I'm running Windows 7 32 bit.

I have a Dell Vostro 460 with 4GB RAM running the latest version of Windows 7 Professional (64-bit). So far it’s been ultra-reliable. It, and two other laptops, are connected via network cables to a D-Link wireless ADSL modem/router (DSL-G604T).
However, during the last three weeks when I wake up the computer from hibernation, I am unable to connect to the Internet. The network connection icon states “Not connected. No connections are available”.
The only way I can resume my Internet access is to either re-boot the computer or, more often, turn the computer off and then turn it on again. Sometime the re-booting or switching off and on takes several attempts until the computer re-connects to the Internet. Today, it took 20 re-starts!I also have a netbook which connects to the Internet and my brother’s computer also has no trouble connecting to the Internet using the same modem.

I have a dell vostro 1000 laptop. I upgraded my pc from xp to vista ultimate and lost wifi and internet connections. I really could use some help in trying to get my connections back. I hope I don't have to buy another wireless card.

Today after I restarted my laptop (Dell vostro 1400 running windows), I found that I can't open any pages or sites. My wireless utility icon tells me that my laptop is connected to my router, but neither of my browsers (chrome or firefox) will load anything. However, if I turn off my wireless (there's a switch that I can trigger) and try to load a page immediately after turning it back on, then a page will load, though anything after that will not. I'm positive that it's not my router or my internet because my computer and iPod touch connect perfectly fine, it's just my laptop will not.I thought that I might have accidentally gotten malware so I ran malwarebytes in safe mode and it found one Trojan, which I removed afterwards, though I don't remember what it's name or type was. I restarted my laptop afterwards hoping that removing the Trojan would work but I'm still having the same problem.

I have a Vostro 3300, which was working very well, and when I upgraded my OS from Win7 to Win8 my internet speed through wireless connection became very low, I checked for a driver update but did not find any that is compatible with windows 8. I also tried some old Windows 7 drivers with and without "compatibility Mode" but still not working. I should also mention that when I connect to the internet through Ethernet, I get the full speed.

Daughter is at college with brand new Vostro 3450. Was working on school network during summer but drops the connection multiple times during the day. She runs the Troubleshooting which then allows her to connect and 30 minutes later the connection is dropped again. The laptop works fine when connected to the internet via the ethernet cable. Here is what has been done by the IT support at the school.
1 - Deleted the Intel wireless utility as they thought it was "fighting" with the Windows software for control over the wireless.
2 - Increased the power for the wireless card to "high performance".
3 - Reinstalled Windows 7 to eliminate that there is a software issue.
4 - Replaced the Intel Wireless Card with new part sent by Dell.
Now the IT supports recommendation is to "get a new system" and that perhaps the Vostro's wireless card is "not compatible with their network". For Dell computers they sell the Latitude to the students.
My daugther likes the Vostro. She doesn't want to give it up. Wants the system to work. She had the laptop during the summer session and had problems with connection. The Windows software was reinstalled thinking there was a virus (although no evidence of one) and then she had no connection problems for the whole summer. She came home for 2 weeks and returned back to school and then the system would not work again.
I don't know what to do. Can I buy a USB wireless adapter for her to temporarily use until I can figure out how to fix this problem. Personally, I think there is a design flaw with the vostro.

On receiving my new dell vostro 3550, I reinstalled the windows 7 cd that came with the computer.
Before I did, I had internet connection, now I don't.
It says it finds no device. All i did was install windows. What else do I need to do for it to recognise the devices are on the system?

I've a Dell VOSTRO 1710. When I use an ethernet connection with my router, there is no problem. But when I try to have a wireless connection, all the wireless network of mine and of my neighbors are recognized, my WPA password too. Vista (32 bits) says I am connected but, when I try to reach a page on the web, get my e-mails or even ping an IP, I get no response. Note that I have other devices connected to that router which works without problem. I thought it was the driver of my Wifi card (Intel 4965agn) that does not work. Thus, I try to update (and even downgrade) them from Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN - Download Center. Nevertheless, it does not work. Note that it worked one week ago. The problem has suddenly appeared.

My laptop is refusing to recognize the router. Until yesterday everything was fine, now it's not recognizing it at all. There are other computers on the network that connect just fine. When i go to Device Manager it is also missing the following:
Base System Device
Base System Device
Base System Device
Ethernet Controller
Network Controller
PCI Device
SM Bus Controller
Video Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
Since I can't get onto the internet from that computer, where to go to get the drivers for these to download.

I bought one from outlet. It has WiMax as an option. It seems it has WiMax, but I can' see any wifi device in Device manager. It is ridiculous. I surprised so I checked my order confirmation e-mail again and again, but it reads "Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6150", not WiMax only.

Bought a Vostro 220S about 2 months ago. After about three weeks, while I'm using it, the integrated NIC dies. All of a sudden I get the "Network Cable Disconnected" pop-up. No LEDs lit by the network jack. Contact Dell support who decides it's the motherboard.Three days later, the exact same failure. Contact support again. This time they want me to re-install Windows (yeah...right). I refused since the motherboard fixed it the first time. They finally agree to replace the motherboard again. Using the same router and cable that worked for years with my old computer. After the first failure, I switched ports on the router. While waiting for the motherboard replacements, I had installed an old PCI NIC I had laying around. Worked fine...still is. I'm not about to re-install Windows, which is what I know they'll want. I'll stick with the PCI card. Both of the people at Dell support as well as the tech they sent out told me they've not seen this before.

I recently received the blue screen and had to do a clean install of Windows XP on my Dell Vostro 1520. I then proceeded to install the Dell drivers and downloads in the order according to Dell's website. But the wireless driver continually gave me a Setup.rul 380 error, so I did a manual install of that. Unfortunately something is still incorrect. The internet connects, but the wireless icon at the bottom has a pop that says "Adapter Problem. Driver is not installed." I don't know a lot about computers and I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I can't figure this one out.

I am struggling for a windows XP network driver on Vostro 260,I cannot imagine there is no one, but I loaded a driver from Realtek, containing a driver for the reference found in the identification of the interface (DEV_8168&SUBSYS_04EE1028&REV_06).
I installed, but the interface is not starting. What to do?
