I was bought a Vostro 3300 couple months ago and with this, laptop dell dw1501 a/g/b/n wireless network card was provided.
I trust to Dell's specifications and replaced my DSL modem with a new high-end Wireless-N 300 Mbps DSL modem without thinking any compability problem. When I went to home and setup my new modem, my Vostro 3300 connected with only 72Mpbs. I tried to find a solution and find this community topics mentioned below. url...
As you wil see, the dw1501 wireless network card is not support this connection speeds even though the card is advertised as a wireless N card. Some users managed to replace their card with the better ones.
I have a Dell Vostro 3300 laptop with Windows 7 and ran a Kaspersky Virus Scan which deleted virus' and trojan programs but now my computer says there are 'no connections available'....my WiFi is definitely working as I am able to connect on my phone and other laptop.I have checked my network adapters on Device Manager and they have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, including 'DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card'. I have checked whether the drivers are up to date and it says they are.
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.
I recently purchased a new Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7. When I try to load my printer (Dell 924 All-in-one) and wireless printer adapter (Dell 3300) software it says it is not compatible with Windows&. Is there a patch or something that I can download from Dell to fix this issue?
I am trying to configure a 3300 Wireless Print Adapter with a NET GEAR WNDR3700 Wireless N Router. During the Configuration if I have no security set up on my network, the 3300 establishes a connection. If I however, turn any form of security on ( WEP, WPA-PSK [TKIP, WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] ), the Connection fails. No security is not an option.
This happened while switching routers. The 3300 worked fine on my D-Link Wireless G router (WEP). I was wondering how to resolve it.?
I have a Dell Dim2400 computer with Pentium 4, Windows XP Service Pack 3, which I purchased surplus from work, where documents were saved on both the computer and a networked server. Once home, "My Documents" could be opened until the wireless router was changed from a D-Link WBR-1310 to a Belkin Play N600. Thereafter, "My Documents" would not open and instead a window labeled "My Documents" opens with the message: "The network folder,\...........My Documents, that contains My Documents is not available. Try again later, or contact your system administrator for further assistance." A rare coincidence or is there some causal relationship?
I am trying to access the settings webapge so that I can delete computers from the scan list. When I select the settings link it attempts to open the page but then the lights on the adapter start to flash and it seems to lose the connection with it ....... The other links e.g. status, information and security seem to work OK provided they are aceessed before I select the settings link. One the lights have started to flash I have to switch off the adapter and switch back to restore the connection to the network. The adapter is connected to a BTHomehub. Other than this issue the printer works fine through the network.
My Inspiron M101z which I bought last year is supposed to have 802.11n wireless support. However, my wireless speed never exceeds 72.0 Mbps no matter what I do. My router is Linksys WRT160N v3. I've tried everything, setting mode to N-Only, setting channel width to 40Mhz. The result is always the same, I'm getting 72 Mbps max. This speed makes difference when transferring files between computers in the network. All my computers are running Windows 7 x64.
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 just ran some speedtests om my PC on the advice of my isp to see if my Linksys WRT54G router might be bad. As a result, I found that the router might not be entirely bad, but it might not be entirely good, either. I got .77 Mbps dowload and .17 Mbps upload on the first speedtest. I got .43 Mbps download on the second speedtest and the speed test hung hear the end. When I connected an IMac to the cable modem with an ethernet cable, the IMac ran strong. So the tech thought I should get a new router.
But wait a minute, isn't there a network adapter in the PC that the router talks to? Might the adapter be the problem, not the router? So I speedtested the wireless network to the IMac. That speedtest was fine, tiptop, like the ethernet direct connection test noted above. Did that tell me that the problem is in my PC network adapter, not the router? Then, I retested (speedtested) the connection on the PC and it was fine...excellent. Good up and down speeds, no hangs.Then, I checked the PC adapter (a Belkin). I saw three adapters on Device Manager, including the Belkin. I downloaded new drivers for the adapters (except for the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Minipoty Adapter - because it got a warning that the download software wasn't signed and might harm my computer).
So I have installed my new E4200 version 1 and I am disappointed with the speeds. My computer has a wireless N card and gigabit Ethernet compatibility. I am currently getting a miserly 54 mbs wireless and 100 mbs on the wire (connected with cat6 all the way)... Anything I should try to get close to advertized speeds?
I am running my laptop on Windows 7 Proffesional 32 bit and it won't let me search for a wireless connection on the Control Panel I think it might be a problem with the wireless switch at the bottom as it doesn't show the wireless sign on the laptop. I have also tried running the laptop on Ultimate 64 bit but the problem continued to persist.
I have Win 7 and Win 8 dual booting on my brand new Dell Vostro laptop. The wireless works beautifully while using Win 7, but when I switch to Win 8... the actual Fn+F2 wireless switch has no effect whatsoever! So I know the machine is OK, the network is OK, but what could be making the machine act differently under Windows 8? Device manager and details say the driver is up to date.. What do I look for next?? I don't think I'm going to be able to get a call through to Microsoft!!
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 went to device manager and looked at the network devices and there is a yellow sign with a ! in it next t broadcom 801.11n network adapter and under that there is realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P), but is fine i think.
I had to re-install Windows 7 -64bit after my hard drive had crashed, but I can seem to get the Wireless to work. I tried following the installation order as per the following link but I couldn't install the NSS/DSS as I could not find this download for my Vostro 3700. I also read somewhere that it is not needed for Windows 7, so I left it.
I installed the WLAN 1501 Half Mini-Card (4313bgn) (R270598) driver as this is the wireless card that I have and it installs. The problem I have is that the wireless software and windows says my wireless card's radio is disabled and that I need to switch the radio on using the switch on the laptop. This laptop has a physical switch and no matter if I turn it on or off.. the radio remains off. Even the wireless light above the keyboard does not switch on.The thing is, before the hard drive crashed, my wireless worked fine. Is it possible that the switch broke too, or am I missing some kind of driver or software for the wireless switch.
I am unable to install the driver for my wireless device on my Dell Vostro 1500 laptop running Windows XP Professional. The laptop originally came with Windows Vista Basic edition. I have tried installing the driver for Windows XP from the original drivers CD that came with the laptop and also by downloading it from Dell's Web site. The driver program installs without giving an error, but after installation the device remains nonfunctional and the Device Manager shows no information about the wireless hardware.
My system spec's are as follows:
- Model: Dell Vostro 1500 - Operating System : Windows XP Professional - Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz - Main memory: 2 GB - Video card : Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
I have a Dell Vostro 3460 laptop that I would like to dual boot with Linux. I can't seem to get the wifi working in linux.
This laptop is listed as "ubuntu ready" but I can't seem to find a driver for it anywhere. I have tried many solutions from all over the linux community but nothing seems to work. It seems like most of the linux driver sets support all the broadcom chips except this one. I need drivers for the bcm43142.
I faced a problem with my Dell Vostro 3400 (DW1520) Window 7 Pro (32 bit) where by I cannot detect my own AP but the listing shows only my neighbour's AP. It shows that my Wireless Network Adaptor is not connected.
Four weeks ago I bought a Dell Vostro 3550 notebook to use it at home. I conntected it via my wireless accesspoint to get access to data on my NAS, which is within my home network.Then I noticed that the connection is not stable, although the computer says "excellent signal". Whenever I access files via explorer on the NAS I loose connection from time to time and the reaction time is very slow (sometimes I have to wait seconds).During search for the reason I pinged directly the access point and saw unacceptable slow response with large variation. I checked the connection with an other computer (running XP), using same position. There it works fine (see below) - stable connection.It seems that the configuration of the access point does not work well with the configuration of the Dell computer - or an hardware fault on the Vostro. Below are the test data and my configuration.

I have a dell vostro 2510 vista.Am able to connect to internet wirelessly no problem but when i move laptop out of wireless range and plug in ethernet cord I cannot connect. Have 1394 net adapter and it tests ok with troubleshooting?
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 3550 running Windows 7 Pro. It has a Dell Wireless 1702 802.11b/g/n card with an intermittent fault:The error messages that Device manager reports are:This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.and also:This device cannot start. (Code 10)These both appear about 80% of the time while trying to use Wifi. A restart of the removes the error message and wifi can sometimes be used as normal for a short period before one of the errors reappears. When booting into a Linux live-cd the error messages also appear with ath9k drivers..
I have problem of dell wireless my notebook is VOSTRO 1000 i installed all wireless drivers and still have the problem. Wireless icon is disappear and see error message that tells like this:
"THE WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER COULD NOT BE ACCESSED . THIS APPLICATION MAY HAVE DIMINSHED FUCTIONALITY AS A RESULT".
