Dell :: WiFi Connection Since Clean Install 6400 With XP SP3
Sep 8, 2008
I have an Inspiron 6400 XP SP3 Intel PROset/wireless Wi Fi
Belkin Wireless G Router (supplied by Dell with the laptop)
I had to do a clean install of the laptop. Until then good connection no problems BUT since the clean install I am experinecing intermitant problems Wifi connecting to the router. The wireless finds the router without fail but won't always connect. When is doesn't, a reboot makes no difference but power cycling the router always works. After hours of strong connectivity the connection drops out unpredicatbly.
I have tried updateing the driver for the wifi NIC and the Proset software direct from intel which seems to make no difference.

I did a re-install of my operating system the other day and im sure i messed up something because i deleted the whole parameter first or whatever its called then reinstalled with the CD that came with my laptop. this is an older model 5160 Inspiron Pentium 4.Everything seems to be working fine except that there is no wireless connection icon or anything of the kind now. I have looked and looked and the only icons to connect with are the local area connection - no wifi connect.

I am running a rather old Dell Inspiron 6400 on Vista. Recently Virgin installed their latest Hub / wireless router for me and since then i cannot make a wireless connection to the internet. Before that I use to be able to connect to my old router (Linksys Wireless-G 2.4Ghz) no problem! I can connect via the ethernet cable no problems. The WiFi is on and even when I disconnect the ethernet cable, the bottom right hand corner symbol says that I am connected but I cannot load the internet and keeps giving me this message:"The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."The Virgin Media support team ran a check and told me that my wirless adaptor is out of date and needs updating so I went on Dell Support, downloaded and installed the follwoing drivers but still no joy!
1) Broadcom diagnostic utility 440x 10/100 utility controller
2)Broadcom driver 440x 10/100 utility controller
3)Dell Driver Wireless 1390 WLAN Minicard
I have also ran a wireless WLAN utility diagnostic check through the control panel. In the Connection diagnostics, the Gateway IP Ping 'failed' and I think as result of that the Internet IP Ping, DNS IP ping and internet website domain name ping all 'skipped' but all else passed.

I've just installed a clean Windows 7 Ultimate on a brand new Acer Aspire 5750.The lan nor wireless didn't work out of the box. After installing the Gigabit lan drivers it found the network card But it can't find the wireless. When I try to install the Wireless drivers from: [url]It's the Atheros card I have. So when I try to install the Wireless Lan Atheros drivers it sais:"The device doesn't exist. Please plug the device back in and try again" What do I do now? It's a laptop, I can't exactly remove the network card.

This is about to cause me to buy another router. This will be the 4th clean install that I have had to do. If my power, or my internet goes down, a regular proper reboot / or reset, will not get my ea2700 back online. It takes uninstalling & deletion of the stored Application Data files.

I just installed Tomato firmware (details below) on my wireless-N router and everything appears to be working fine on the router's end. I can connect to the Internet properly with a wired (Ethernet) connection; in fact, that's how I posted this question.
What I cannot do is connect to the router wirelessly in any way. At first, I thought that something was wrong with my wireless security settings, because I read about some incompatibilities between Windows 7 and AES encryption. However, when I changed to TKIP, the issue persisted; when I switched from WPA2 Personal to WEP, the issue persisted; and when I disabled wireless security entirely — just for testing purposes — the issue still persisted.
My Internet search for this issue brought up a lot of old forum and mailing list posts, most of which were useless. The only one that seemed promising suggested disabling Afterburner, but that came disabled by default on my install. I did try enabling it and then disabling it, but it had no apparent effect.
In case it's relevant: before I installed Tomato, I had a somewhat funky install of dd-wrt on the router. The first thing I did after installing Tomato was a full clean of the nvram through the web GUI's Administration → Configuration → Restore Default Configuration menu.
What do I have to do to get wireless running? I only have one computer available at the moment, but I'll try to update later if and when I can borrow more devices for testing.
Assorted specs:
Linksys WRT160N v3
Tomato Firmware v1.28.9054 MIPSR2-beta K26 Mini
Linux kernel 2.6.22.19 and Broadcom Wireless Driver 5.10.147.0 updates
EDIT:This is a computer issue, not a router issue. Two smartphones with wi-fi connections and another computer are all able to connect to the wireless network with no problems. However, the original computer was able to connect to the same router just fine before Tomato was installed. It has an internal wireless-B/G card, and I had Tomato set up to broadcast G-only, so it should have been compatible.
EDIT 2:The computer in question was the only device in the house that wasn't set up for wireless-N, so I went out and bought a Wireless-N USB adapter and changed Tomato to be N-only. Using the new adapter, I get connection again. I suppose it's possible that the computer's OEM internal wireless card failed at exactly the same time that I installed Tomato on the router, but that would be one heck of a coincidence. I'll see if I can connect to some other G or B network next time I'm around one....

I just came upon an old inspiron 6400 and i'm trying to get the wireless internet on it.
i believe there's a "card" (maybe, Sierra wireless aircard 580) missing and that would be why i cannot connect. Here's what i got on a linux command linedoom@Zombimatic / $ sudo

My laptop won't find an ip address and connect to the Internet right now I'm using my iPod. I know the Internet is working. I have a Dell inspiron 6400. Two days ago I had an Internet connection but I had to switch it so it would automatically find an ip address. I cAn get a connection at my moms house and it works just fine but any where else it can't find an ip adress. I've gone to start>run>cmd>ipconfic then I go type in that ip and it connects but won't let me connect on a browser or messenger.
My laptop won't find an ip address. I'm only 14 and I've tried everything I could think of. Two days ago it would connect to the Internet but wouldn't connect on a browser or messenger so I hadda change the tcp/ip to automatic then it worked but now with different wireless Internet it can't find an ip address

My Inspiron 6400 network card keeps disconnecting from my wireless network. In order to get it working again, I have to turn off the wireless fn key and turn it back on again. This usually works for a few minutes than I lose connection again. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

i just reinstalled windows on my laptop and i figured i could just download drivers from the dell website. after following the installation order specified on the website.. installing first the NSS and then the chipset, etc.. I realized there wasn't a driver for the NIC on the website. i also noticed that the steps didn't include a step for ethernet drivers, so i replaced the NIC step with installing the broadcom integrated controller. unfortunately, after completing the rest of the installation steps, my Network Controller driver is still not installed (looking in the device manager), a hardwire connection through the ethernet cable gives me "limited or no connectivity" and there is no wireless capability whatsoever.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop running and with a Dell 1390 WLAN mini-card installed and a Broadcom 44/10x100 integrated controller.
Unfortunately I've never been able to get this laptop to function with my wireless Internet.
Everything's working out nicely, and the computer connects to the network smoothly. After 5-10 minutes of full and unproblematic Internet connection the computer crashes the wireless network i.e. the Inspiron and all other computeres connected to the network is disconnected and my wireless network no longer shows up on the list of available networks.
The network works perfectly with every other computer I've used with it.
I've installed the newest drivers for both the 1390 and the integrated controller from this site. And my Vista is of course also fully up to date.
I've also tried turning the antennae settings to "aux" - Alas, to no avail.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista with a Broadcom 440x10/100 Integrated Controller. I've had the computer for 5 years, and have always connected to the internet using wireless with no problem. Just moved to a new place, don't have a router yet, and now when I try to connect via the ethernet cable my internet is sooo slow, taking about a minute to load a page. My roommate's computer runs great using the ethernet.

I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop. The desktop recently got a virus which caused me to completely reformat the computer. I thought the PC came with a drivers CD but either it did not or I cannot find one. Now that I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 it will not connect to the internet. I have tried downloading all network drivers, bios drivers and making sure BIOS is enabled but still I am unable to connect to the internet.
What can I do to fix this problem or is there any place that I can purchase the actual drivers CD for my PC so that this does not happen again? I have gone to the drivers and downloads page, put my tag number in and literally downloaded every single driver listed and still it is giving me the "no connection detected" error.

We encouter problems flow between two switches at work. The first is a Cisco 3550 and the second is an Alcatel 6400. For the tests, I connected a PC on each switches on acces port. The 2 switches are connected by a trunk port (the 24th for each switches).
I forgot to tell that the 2 switches are on the same vlan (5). I made some tests and it takes about 2 minutes to transfer 45mo from one pc to the other one.
I can give a part of the configuration :
! Stack Manager :! Chassis :system name vxTargetsystem daylight savings time disable! Configuration:! VLAN :vlan 1 disable name "VLAN 1"vlan 5 enable name "toip"vlan 5 port default 1/1vlan 5 ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0! VLAN SL:!

For a Campus setup (University), if I deploy 1142 AP's on all the floors with a WLC controlling them, and put one 3500 AP on each floor, will that give sufficient Clean Air support with automatic Rogue elimination? What about if an AP drops, does the WLC automatically try to cover that area with neighboring AP's? I know the old WLSE would be able to do that, but not sure if the WLC can do that by itself. What part of Self Healing can the WLC do with Clean Air, or is a WCS a must have in order to automatically Defend and self heal? Also is the MSE needed for this if a WCS is used? What does the MSE do that the WLC and WCS can't?

I have inherited a Dell dimension 2350 and connecting it (preferably wifi) via my Sky broadband router so that my daughter can use it in herr bedroom.
The 2350 has come with a netgear GG834G v4 modem/router and relevant ethernet/phone cables and all cds etc. and runs xp. Is the netgear now redundant?
At present, I use an old inspiron 6000 laptop with a wifi connection to Sky.

Have Dell Inspiron 6000 (XP SP3) and Dell XPS M1210 (Vista). Both were working fine through my home network WiFi. Now only the M1210 is working. The 6000 shows that I have a connection (with strong signal) but it won't connect to the internet anymore. (The M1210 still works fine - connects to internet.) I went back to several restore points on the 6000 but it didn't work. Rebooted and check everything I could think of but didn't resolve problem.

Complete reinstall of Dell 610 Latitude, Driver 'Dell Wireless (US) WLAN Network Adapter Card, Rev A04 seems to be the correct one. When the install starts, it never goes beyond 'Setup is searching for installed components.' On the Drivers page it shows that the hardware is installled.
Device Manager, Hardware shows yellow for Ethernet Controller, Network Controller, PCI Modem, PCI Simple Communications Controller, which indicates to me I don't have the drivers yet.
Can't stop it, except via the Windows Task Manager. When I do that I get a dialog box Titled 'Dell Wireless WLAN Installer, An error occurred while launching the setup. The remote procedure call failed.

Ok, last week got an XPS12 with win8 64 bit. It's advertised as being widi capable. However, it is delivered with no widi software. I've tried intel and dell software, and the widi software will not install. I've spent hours on the phone with dell "support". They have been of zero help and have absolutely no experience with widi. They first tried to tell me that intel does not support win8 with widi. I had to point them to the intel site.
I'm about to return the XPS12 within my return window if dell cannot solve this as I'm increasingly concerned with the obvious support gaps. Is there anyone running widi on an XPS with win8? Just trying all options before abandoning an otherwise nice machine.

I have tried everything to install my broadcom driver with no luck . My chipset driver has two identicle drivers in device manager. Are they supposed to be there twice? I have downloaded it and it looks like it installs but it never makes it to device manager? It will not install directly fron device manager. It is the only driver that will not install. I already know the chipset driver goes first.
