I installed a clean Windows 8 Pro on my Vostro 3460 (HD was wiped beforhand).However, for the WLAN driver is not found.Here is what I did:
- I can confirm that the WLAN component is activated in BIOS. Actually, it worked just fine running Windows 7 until yesterday.
- After a clean Win8 install the missing component is enlisted as "Network Controller"
- Installing the "Dell Dell Wireless 1901 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Dell Wireless 1901 Bluetooth" driver from your website (Network_Atheros_W8_A00_Setup-92GWH_ZPE.exe) didn't change anything,, the device is still missing its driver and thus not working.
- I tried to install the drivers coming with the driver CD for Windows 7. No change.
- I tried to install almost any driver on your web site related with WLAN, Vostro 3460 and Windows 8: no success.
I just bought a brand new dell vostro 3460. for some reson the signal (WiFi signal) is poor and even disconccect from time to time and the internet surf is very slow.
the computer is located at the same place as two others laptop i have (the two others ave perfect signal).
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 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?
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 with Windows 7, 64-bit. My wireless driver is Dell Wireless 1704.802.11b/g/n. I just got this computer in December, and it worked fine for a couple of months, then about a month ago, I started having these problems.
Whenever I turn off or put my computer to sleep and turn it back on, my wireless connection doesn't work. The wireless indicator light on the front of the laptop is not on, and I push the FN+F2 button (which is supposed to turn on wireless), but it does nothing. I checked under the device manager, and the wireless adapter is not there.
After the first time I ran the diagnostics, I reinstalled the driver. The I restarted the computer, and the wireless was working. However, that night I turned of the computer, and when I turned it back on the next morning, the wireless was not working again.Other things I have discovered that sometimes work as a temporary fix:
Sometimes, if I wait 5 or so minutes, the wireless indicator light will come on, and then I can restart my computer and connect to a network, but most of the time, I can wait for hours and it never comes on.If I start in computer into safe mode or the BIOS screen or diagnostic screen, sometimes the wireless will start working after I exit that mode and start into normal operating. For example, one of the times that I ran the PSA diagnostics, the wireless started working afterwards, but stopped working again the next day. Another time, I started the computer in safe mode with networking to see if that would work, and the wireless did not work while I was in safe mode, but then I restarted the computer in normal mode, and the wireless came on.
One time, I went under Device Manager and did "Scan for Hardware Changes." After that, the wireless indicator light came on, and I restarted the computer and was able to connect to a network.However, all of these solutions were temporary, and some of these solutions only work one time but not again.I called Dell Support a couple of weeks ago, and they said that my antivirus program might be stopping the wireless driver from starting up. I have Trend Micro, which came with the computer.
find a Driver for the NIC for windows 8 64 bit Pro. I have a Dell Latitude E6410 and the driver from Microsoft worked for the most part but I was having issues connecting to my Windows phone 8 device (Nokia 920). First I though it was my phone but when I tried other devices like my Surface I could connect with no problem. I am also running Windows 7 32 bit, when I boot up that OS I had no issues connecting to my phone. I also had issues with stable connections to my 5Ghz Wi-Fi access point. Well if any of these symptoms sound like something that you been going through then check this driver out. I used the 43224AGN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 driver and now everything seems to work.
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 have a 1395 Wlan mini-card in my dell vostro 1510 version A21 and it has stopped allowing internet access. it says limited or no access and when i ran the connection diagnostices it failed the authentication.last time the software was update was october 6, 2008.
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".
I have a problem with my Inspiron N5010, I just reinstalled Win7 Ultimate x64 and I can't get the drivers to work. I have downloaded R252544 and many more drivers, but an error keeps coming up, saying that it is not compatible with my system or cannot be installed. I am currently using Ethernet cable but I need to use WiFi.
I reinstalled windows on my laptop and i was reinstalling all the drivers and i cant seem to find the one that gets the built in wireless adapter working. ive got the intel pro set wireless program but when i try and install this it says that the wlan adapter is not installed. where can i find the driver for internal wlan adpater for dell inspiron 6000.
i bought a n5050 with ubuntu preinstalled so i installed windows7 but i cant find the wlan driver.The card is Atheros AR9485 but i cant find it anywhere in dell's driver list or anywhere else.
I have last version of Linux installed.Then I realized that I have no INTERNET connection.looking for a long time I found out the Linux does not recognize the wireless. is that not possible because this does not give for Linux!
I had to install Windows Vista on Latitude E6410, than I followed order installation from here ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/Common/latitude-e6230_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf. And I am still not able to install Dell Wireless WLAN 1397/1501/1520 Half MiniCard Driver - in the download section it is only update package? My notebook does not offer me WLAN connection only cable...
I've recently added a Dell Inspiron 620 to my home network. Since it was close enough to hardware to my U-Verse router, I moved my Dell Wireless WLAN 1502 Half Mini-Card to my older XPS400. What I cannot find out is whether or not there is an XP driver for this card.
I have Dell Vostro 3750 with Windows 8. Bluetooth stopped working. I had problems with it from the start.I installed the driver: [URL]tried different drivers before.In Device Manager this driver has a yellow exclamation. ^Tasks and Settings Bluetooth^Bluetooth option is grayed in charm bar.
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.
