Dell :: Vostro 3700 Wi-Fi Not Working After Format?
Dec 4, 2010
I bought a Vostro 3700 which i formatted and installed windows 7 using the CD which came with the laptop. I used the drivers CD which also came with the laptop to install the drivers but i am still having trouble with the network controller. On the device manager list it still says its not intalled and as a result i have been unable to use the wireless. When i try to install the wireless drivers an error message comes up saying no compatible hardware found, but the wireless worked fine before the format!

I have a dell vostro 3700 and have had it for about 3 years with no problems. Lately it has been picky on when it will let me use my home wifi it will say "restricted use". Then today it stop working all together and says that no network connections are available, but they are because everyone else's computers in my house are working.

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 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 using a dell Vostro 3550 series, window 7 which I recently upgraded it to 64 bit from 32 bit and after that my Intel WiFi utility stop working. I can create the WiFi hot spot and connect my phones and laptops but its not sharing the internet. I've checked the "share my internet" button too but still then its the same result.

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.

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.

my boss has a vostro 1500 laptop and is constantly losing internet connection. Before losing connection, a little blue world shows up in front of the computer picture in the lower right hand corner and then says *limited access available*, then he can not connect at all. If he disconnects and then reconnects it works for a short period of time and then the cycle begins again. Recently, i was told it was a new router, so we replaced the old router and still having these issues,

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 an employee using a Vostro 1015 Config 020, Genuine Windows® 7 Professional, 32bit laptop in Ireland. A local tech there told her " that with new laptops you don’t need to use a converter because they have a built in one", and I need to find out if that is true.

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 have Dell Vostro 1015. It came with Window XP SP3 back in Oct 2009 (It was in free DOS Mode). In October this year, I installed Window 7 Home Premuim 32-bit SP1. Bluetooth was working fine until I updated the drivers for Windows 7 from Dell website. Upon installing the latest bluetooth driver, it won't get switced on even after pressing Fn+F11. When I tried to reinstall it pops out "Switch on Bluetooth" message several times, but as usual fails to switch on.

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 been having problems with my Bluetooth device since I bought my laptop. I downloaded the Toshiba Stacking and all possible drivers that suit my computer, but I get the feeling that it could not connect with the hardware itself. I am using Windows 7. When I try to fix the problem, the program opens a window 'Activate Bluetooth by Fn + F2 or Radio On/Off button.' ot something. With the Fn + F2 keys there is no effect and where to switch on or off the radio. By the way, the Bluetooth light on my laptop is on all the time
