Dell :: XPS 15 L502x - Cannot Find Bluetooth Function
Mar 24, 2012
I recently bought an XPS 15 L502x and I cannot find the bluetooth function on it. Looked everywhere in the device manager and Controll Pannel. Does it mean it doesn't come as standard and you have to upgrade it while choosing your components? I hope niot because it sounds a bit ridiciulous to have a top range model with core i7 and 1080p screen and no bluetooth which is as basic to me as wifi or speakers.
Last month i bought my new dell xps 15 L502X. I am completely satisfied with the laptop. But a few days back i encountered a problem in my Bluetooth. When i tried to switch on the Bluetooth a notification appeared stating that no Bluetooth hardware was found. Later when i tried to pair with wireless mouse , the mouse was not detected.
I just updated my OS from Windows 7 to 8, and I bought a new Galaxy S 3. Nobody seems to be ready for Windows 8 functionality. I don't know how to find the bluetooth feature of my laptop anymore now that I have windows 8 installed. My phone scans for it, and can no longer find it.
I have connected my phone to the laptop, it installs the phone, but cannot find the photos and videos that I have on my phone, even thought there are tons of them.
I thought perhaps I could Bluetooth them to the laptop, but so far, it's been nothing but a frustrating morning trying to locate the bluetooth function, and Dell's website doesn't seem to understand that people actually upgrade their systems to Windows 8, so there's no support there as far as drivers go.
I've got an Inspiron 17R, conveniently out of warranty, service tag <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>.
I already installed the driver for wifi and bluetooth but still cant find a signal for wifi and my bluetooth still "turn on adapter". My model is dell inspiron N4050 OS: windows 7 ultimate 64
If all Latitude E5420 laptops have bluetooth? I cannot seem to find bluetooth on my laptop Latitude E5420. If they all have bluetooth, how can I find it, I do not see in my device manager.
I am not able to find bluetooth device on my system. Not even in the device list(devmgmt.msc)I am not sure if I have the device. I was told that Inspiron N5010 has bluetooth device in it.
i have inspiron n5050 laptop with windows8 installed and i updated all drivers from the support and for bluetooth i installed DELL WLAN AND BLUETOOTH CLIENT ver9 after calling to customer support. but i cant find bluetooth suite in my computer and have no bluetooth option in wireless in my pc settings.
I recently install Windows8 Enterprise build 9200 on my Dell XPS L502X and everything is working fine so far except my modem. In device manager its installed properly but the network manager doesn't list it as an option to connect to (as it usually would in win7),
My wi-fi has always been a little spotty, but today it finally just completely stopped working.
I have an XPS L502x running Windows 7 and a Verizon FiOS connection (Actiontec modem/router). My work laptop (running XP), phone (Android), desktop (Win 8), and my girlfriend's Mac connect to this network fine. But the Dell has consistently had trouble over the year that I've owned it. In the past, I've been able to force it to connect by manually resetting the wi fi, but that didn't work today.
The wi fi will intermittently find the network, fail to connect to the internet, then lose connectivity to the network itself. Windows troubleshooting says I should reset the router (despite all of the other successful connections). This works for a second, but the Dell loses connectivity again (note: I''ve seen that this is associated with McAffee in other questions, but I'm not running McAffee). When I tried running the Intel troubleshooter, it passed all tests but the last one, saying it "Failed to Ping".
Another weird thing (not sure if it's related) is that my computer displays four different Network Adapters in Device Manager. One is the Intel Wireless-N 1000, but there are also two Windows adapters and what looks like a generic PCI driver. If you disable any one of them, you get the Intel "wireless adapter disabled" message. If you uninstall the Windows adapters, both reinstall when you try to connect to the network.
I have a 1 1/2 year old Dell XPS 15 L502x laptop.I have noticed that it has started having network connection issues with the wifi. It connects to all wifi properly but seems to be having issues with the home router recently. Around November 2012 it started. However I fixed the issue then by re-installing the driver.
This time reinstalling the driver did not solve the problem .. I have tried using the driver from intel's website as suggested by a previous forum post on a similar issue. I have alos tried the power settings suggestions by intel and none of these have solved the problem.
Bought a new WiFi connection from the past two days i have been facing a serious problem regarding my WiFi
whenever i connect my xps to the router my router reboots after almost every 30 seconds
interestingly when i disconnect my xps from network the router works absolutely fine with other laptops
I have already tried re installing my OS and drivers. I have also tried running laptop on safe mode with networking.....still same problem reappears. I have been using the xps l502x from the past 2 years.
I just got an XPS 15 (L502X). It comes with the McAfee internet security suite. I tries to connect my other laptop wireless to my XPS 15 through the Intel My WiFi Technology access point option so that i could share my LAN internet connection. Whilst the other laptop connects wireless with the XPS 15. The internet connection sharing only works when i disable the McAfee firewall. How to configure the firewall.
Sometimes it connects to router but internet is like 20 kbps. More times it says that: windows was unable to connect Edimax(router).
Troubleshooting says that problem is with wfi adapter or access point.
I tried:
Power saving options Windows repair and reinstalling Transmit power to High All drivers(Bios update included) Laptop Dell xps 15 L502x adapter: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1000
Recently I disassembed my laptop to clean from dust. Also change termopasta for cores. Can this effect wifi? ps. all wires I connected corretly. Do I need reasseble it again to check it out?
I have a dell xps L502X with windows 8. My network adapter was replaced last month. My DHCP is enabled. My DNS Server reads 192.168.1.1 and it's a home/cable/DSL connection so from what I've read that's right. I've set my IPv4 and IPv6 to automatically detect the DNS server and IP address to use. I've tried to reconfigure the computer to the wireless router, but when I go to set up a new network no networks pop up even though many networks pop up for me to connect to on the right of my screen.
All of my other devices are connected and working fine. That was the background and what I've tried to fix for my problem. When I try to connect to my home network it says it's a limited connection meaning I have no Internet access. When I run the trouble shooter for the network, Internet connections, and network adapter the only one that has an issue is the network one and the issue is that the DNS server isn't responding.
I have Dell XPS L502X, Windows 7 Home Premium.My internet was working last night but when I turned it on this morning it would not connect.It is connected to my bt homehub with full strength but no internet access. It says IPV4 No Internet Access. I tried using a wire to connect it but that did not work either.Other devices are connecting. So can't be a problem with the internet itself. [code]
I've been having this problem for a few weeks, at first I thought it was the internet itself, but the other computers in the house are fine. A few times a day it just suddenly stops working and in the bottom right hand corner of the screen in the internet options section it says currently connected to : unidentified network. when I click connect again it says wireless adapter not found, "Wireless Network Connection"doesn't have a vailid IP configuration. Sometimes it can stay off for a lot longer and it's generally random times of the day that it happens. I'm using an XPS L502X
I have have a XPS L502X. I decided to make a clean installation based on Windows 7 Ultimate.My problem is when I instal the driver for the "Dell Wireless HSPA 5540" it fails with then warning:
"Authentication failed. The .... driver cannot be installed on this computer...."
My laptop will not connect at full speed whilst on a wired connection. All my other laptops connect at full gigabit speed OK using the same cable. My XPS will only connect at 100Mbps.I have the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
I am using Win 7 64Bit but I have also tried Ubuntu 12 with the same result. Is this a known problem ?I think this may have been like this since new, My most expensive laptop is the slowest on my network.
Recently I've noticed that Intel My WIFI Utility is not starting up after reboot. I reinstalled WLAN drivers (downloaded the newest version from support.dell.com) but the problem persists. Is there any way to start it manually?I'm using Dell XPS l502x, Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030, Windows 7 x64.
My wife just bought a Dell XPS L502x. I cannot get it to connect to our wireless network without disabling the route security completely. Even then it is slow.
Dell XPS L502x Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit 6 GB RAM Intel Centrino Wireless-N1030 Our router is a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHZ WRT54GL
I am aware of the PSP issue and have turned off the option to allow the computer to turn off the adapter and have set the power settings to the highest settings for both battery and plugged in. I have messed the routers security and the computer will not connect unless I turn off the security entirely. It connects but is slow. Anything else and it will not connect at all. Regardless, it can always detect the network without a problem and shows signal strength of Excellent (full bars) even when it is running slow. It works great on a cable or with a wireless usb adapter. I am positive that I am entering the password correctly as i have done this many times now. All other wireless devices in the house connect without a problem including her old Dell laptop.I have updated all the drivers (including the adapter) and keep current on all the Windows updates.when I run the ipconfig /all it lists all my wireless adapters and the blue tooth as "media disconnected". Not sure if that is referring to not being connected to the network or something else.
I can't find the latest driver for the Renesas USB 3.0 in the Dell website. I have a Targus USB 3.0 Hub that stopped working and I am told I need to update the Host Controller driver. The driver version I have now is 2.1.27.0 dated 9/13/2011.
I have two XPS 15 (L502x) laptops (purchased in March '12) with Intel Wifi link 1000 BGN adapters. On a regular basis both laptops lose their connection to the internet (via FIOS), at the same time. I'm convinced that is not FIOS or my router. I have a Dell STUDIO 8100, an iPhone and iPad, and these wireless devices do not lose their connections. Sometimes I'm able to resolve the issue by using "troubleshooting" via the adapter, often restarting the laptop and/or the router is the only way to resolve my problem. I've run the Dell Support software, it indicates no drivers are available for update, so I assume I'm current.I've read about turning off 802.11n, I've read about problems w/ power management and conflicts with wireless.
I have a XPS15 (L502x) for 4 months and my wi-fi is not working anymore.Intel Wi-fi application says that the wireless device is not found.I tried to install drivers, softwares from Intel (Intel PROSet...) but still nothing.
My router broadcasts at 5GHz and 802.11n and despite having a an up-to-date Inetl(R) Wifi Link 1000 BGN driver teh computer does not recognise the network.
I googled and this appeared to be a lot of peoples problems, people who are offering remedies by buying a wireless adpater. URL
