I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 Laptop with the Dell Truemobile 1300 WLan mini PCI Card.I have tried uninstalling and re- installing the Driver from the Dell website. I have install Network Stumbler and it keeps saying "No Aps Active.I Have MZC and Dellwirless turned off so that they will not conflict with NS.I have tried the FN + F2 keys and neither worked the FN and other keys work just fine.I have just completed a fresh install of Windows XP Pro as the old OS got corrupted.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently received the blue screen of death on my labtop so I used the system restore cd and wiped the entire hard drive clean. Afterwards I knew to extract the drivers from the drivers and utilities cd. I extraced the wlan card since this is what has been controlling my wireless at school and everywhere else. The little tower icon doesn't appear in my task box on the bottom of the screen nor is it anywhere where I can enable it. The only place I see the driver is in the add/remove folder in the control panel. Furthermore the blue light doesn't appear when I flip the switch to the on position.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI seem to have a problem with my Dell DW1520 wireless LAN card installed on a Studio 1747 laptop.The LAN card seems to have a mind of its own and is rarely enabled at start up. Repeatedly restarting the laptop a few times somehow magically enables the network card though.When disabled, I can see the red cross on the task bar (network connection). The network card is not even detected and is not visible in device manager. However, when I restart the laptop a few times, the bars appear, the LAN card appears in device manager and I can connect to the wireless network.
I logged a call with Dell Technical support for this and a different issue (BSOD and restart). They replaced my motherboard and asked me to monitor the situation. While the BSOD/restart issue seems to have disappeared with the motherboard replacement, the wireless LAN card issue still remains. The person that came to install the motherboard also tried installing new drivers for the LAN card but that hasn't worked. Dell tech support now say that I must reinstall the whole Operating System (Windows 7), drivers etc from scratch.
Wireless doesnt get enabled on pressing fn+F2 key, it turns on for a fraction of a second signified by the sound but it again sounds and turns off.Just cant get it enabled...Is there any other way to turn it on, on my Inspiron 1545?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've an Inspiron 1521 with Dell wireless minicard 1505, running Vista that was running fine except for 'BCM42RLY service failed to start, can't find file' messages logged in the event log, so I thought I would stop that by uninstalling the device driver and re-installing a later version. So I *deleted* when I did the un-install (didn't want any nasty bits left behind) and re-installed the later R174292 drivers. Install went ok, and device manager likes it too, no nasty exclamation marks and it does say "This device is working properley"! On dear, the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility tells me different, it says "There are currently no wirelss adapaters available and enabled". When you try to 'connect to a network' it too reports "Windows cannot find any networks".
Done "SFC /scannow" just in case, and no probs reported.
I seem to have deleted something really important when I nuked the driver, that R174292 did not replace? Needless to say I cannot roll back the driver! And, just to be sure, that little 'ole network switch on the side of the 'old lappie is firmly ON!
I press FN/F2 to "enable and disable wireless" but cannot see the antenna icon appear on the screen to know if the functionalty even exists. Other function keys work properly. I vaguely remember seeing this icon when I first purchased the laptop, but soon after purchase I had to completely reinstall the operating system and have not had a need to a wireless connection to notice it was no longer there.Because I cannot access wireless connections I assume there is a problem with enabling this feature of my laptop.
what I should be doing to check/correct that my laptop can receive a wifi connection? I've checked the recommended driver installs for my model of laptop, but nothing seems relevant.
I recently purchased dell laptops inspiron 14r.When i press the "A" key for activation of wireless network, it does not work. As my mouse and headset not function.

At home, I have 2 laptops and 1 smartphones, I set up a wi-fi network with WEP (WPA2) key. Since then the Windows Wireless manger is not able to connect.
If I remove the WEP key, I am able to connect.
The Internet connection is good. I am able to connect a HP, a Lenevo laptop, an iPhone with the same WEP key - but Dell does not connect.
I am running Windows XP on Latitude E6410 with Intel i5 Core.
I bought this computer thinking it was wireless. It says it has Wireless-N capability. I can find no wireless in my network connections. I have a Netgear router and all my laptop, NOOK and cell phone have no problem connecting to this router. When I search in connections the only thing I see is a broadband connector, no "wired" showing in network.How do I fix this so I can use my desktop as wireless?

I have been experiencing quite a bit of wireless problems with my Inspiron 17R SE. Only about half the time can I connect to my router and even then it only stays connected for a couple hours. It seems intermittent and the problem will go away for a week or so, but right now it is back in full force. Typically it will either connect and say that there is limited connectivity or it won't connect at all. Resetting the adapter via the Windows 7 troubleshooter only fixes it about half the time.
The thing is that the wireless and everything else works just fine on my Ubuntu partition, which makes me think that my driver is a bit wonky. I have tried downloading the one directly from Dell, and that has come to no avail. I have even tried using the Dell software support suite, and that hasn't found anything wrong either.
i bought new laptop (Dell Inspiron N5110) .i installed Win7 64-bit.i installed all drivers but there is still one that i can't fined

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the past few weeks, my desktop's wireless connection has become impossibly slow and laggy. It takes long times to load and routinely drops or stutters in its connection, which makes online gameplay very inefficient if not impossible. Prior to this, it was running fine.My wife's netbook and my work laptop both run normally and fine off the connection. The ping rates for those computer, tested at the exact same time as my desktop, are both good while my desktop's ping and jitter are horrible. So I have the feeling it is not really a networking issue, but more something with the wireless card or another issue with my desktop itself. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 531, probably about 3 years old, which as I mentioned ran fine with the wireless before. I am running Vista. In the past several months, the computer fan would kick in really hard and often at graphically intense moments though it doesn't do it any more (yes, it is still running at normal speed), so I'm not sure if the card itself was overheated and damaged? Since the others run fine?

Every time I try I get an error the the network adapter isn't found. The trouble shooter can't even fix it. Everyone else in the house has no issues connecting with a wireless connection.The wireless connection has worked maybe twice for me since I purchased the laptop (May 2012). Since I am more comfortable at my desk it's no issue but there is a new printer that I can't connect to because I can't download the driver because I have to unplug my laptop to go in the other room to get to it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had to reinstall Windows but upon reinstallation, I noticed that wireless does not connect. I tried pressing Fn +F2. Nothing. No LED light for wireless.
First I started the WLAN AutoConfig service under services.msc. After starting/enabling this service - nothing.
I searched the forum and found a post for Quickset. I followed the instructions given and restarted. When I press Fn+F2 the screen flashes the wifi symbol and my wifi LED comes on. However, when I go to connect to a wireless network - none can be found (I have connected to this network before and know that it works). I searched support and navigated to Manage Wireless Networks. I click on the Add button and get the following message:Windows cannot detect any wireless network interfaces.
My wife has a Dell Inspiron 1300 which crashed. I was able to start it again using the Dell Operating System Reinstallation CD for XP Professional but the wifi (wireless) does not work. Before the crash it had a working wireless connection. It appears that I need to reinstall a driver for it. How can I get a driver when I have no internet connection on that computer? I have tried loading on a flash driver from another computer, but it doesn't seem to transfer. What driver do I need and how can I get it to install on her computer?

I've been trying to connect to the wireless network at my college, but the instructions they give say to go to network connections and start by clicking the "wireless connection" icon. There is no such icon. I've tried all sorts of different drivers from dell for this model and none of them seem to do the trick. I know i have a wireless card becuase I've opened a little panel on hte bottom of the computer and seen it myself.

So far I had my Dell Inspiron 620 for a year and it has worked almost perfectly. Now just recently(about 2 weeks ago) the wireless keeps on disconnecting me when I use my internet based programs. The only way to fix the issue is to go through the trouble shooting method by right clicking the wireless icon. The message that appears after the trouble shooting method is Wireless adapter may be broken or loose. I know it is not the program because it has done it even when I browse the internet. It usually does it during the evenings when there are more pc activity around the house. When this first happened, I thought there was a problem with the wireless card. So I contacted Dell support center. Which they were able to replace my wireless card. Then after the replacement, the problem was not fixed. Calling Dell support center again, they told me that I had to factory reset my computer since it was a software problem. Listening to Dell, I did that.
Even though I have done all those things. It was still unable to solve my wireless problem. Like I have put in my title, my wireless card is Dell Wireless 1502 802.11b/g/n. What I imagine now is that it has to do with my wireless router settings. I recently got a new wireless router which is the Asus RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. When I first set this up, it was working fine at my previous location of my computer. Now since I am further away from the wireless router. The connection disconnects when I use programs that require a lot of internet. Currently, for the bandwidth I have set it to both 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz
My Inspiron 1545 has a 1397 Wireless G card. I want to up it to a Wireless N card. I have seen references to a Wireless N 1501, 1503, 1510, 1515 & 1520, but none of these are mentioned as being compatible with a 1545.
