Dell :: XPSL521X - Wireless Has No Range?
Nov 23, 2012
I have to be near my router to pick up a signal. Once I leave the room I lose connectivity. I've updated the newest drivers and the problem remains. I've read about many others having the same problem with this model.

So Basically I have the dell d810 and the wireless on it is less than 20 ft and I cant figure out why.. My other dell laptop has perfect connection all the way down stairs and this d810 doesn't even get full connection from 10 feet away!!! I have tried to take out the wireless card and put it back in but that didn't work so I am just wandering if it is a driver issue or the wireless card is just screwed up.

My Dell XPS (Windows XP) is not connecting to my network..can't get anything to show up on the networks in range list. My other laptop is fine. But I just upgraded to Firefox 4 on the Dell, and then the connectivity went askew.

D610 - Intel PROSet
tab: Advance>>"Use Windows to manage WiFI" (F10)
When in Windows MODE the view network in range does NOT pick up anything even though the connection still exists.
How do I configure to see the networks in range ?

The inbuilt wifi card on my 1521 laptop has lost it's range, I now have to be within a few feet of my BT hub or else the wifi signal keeps dropping out, have checked it not the hub by connecting another PC through wifi. I've taken various numbers from the original card but none of them matches up with the part No's on the Dell website, of the three numbers on the card I think the Dell P/No is DP-N OPC559.

whether or nor we would see a performance boost by upgrading our current switches.
Our Setup:
Comcast internet
2 x Dell 2724 switches connected together with a patch cord
Dell server with 6 core CPU
We have about 25 workstations that access the server, which is running a SQL database. The usage is pretty light, so probably only 2 or 3 users would even be active at one time.
We added several networked printers and we ran out of ports on the current 2 switches. So now we need to add in a third Dell 2724, or we were thinking about upgrading to something like a Dell 5548 plus a Dell 5524 or a few Cisco SG300.
I don't think we need any of the advanced features of these switches, but in simple terms, will we recognize a real world performance boost from upgrading?

I share my internet with other gadgets via an ad hoc WiFi network via my laptop running Windows 7 Home premium. The range covered is extremely bad. At as less as 10 meters away, in an open hall, from the laptop sitting on my home office desk the signal is weak - it shifts between zero and one "curve" on network notification icon on my gadgets.The signal is non existent in the floor immediately below. (The floor is made of reinforced concrete.)

I planning a wireless home network and would like to have WiFi internet access at my swimming pool ~150 feet from the house. There is only one wall between the location of the wireless router and the pool. Do all routers have similar range? If not what is a good model for this range, or would I need to add a range extender?

Basically my laptop was connected to the Internet fine and has been for as long as I can remember but today it just suddenly stopped working and when I clicked on 'View available networks' it gave me the message 'No wireless networks were found in range. Make sure the wireless switch on your computer is on. To see an updates list, click "Refresh network list."'. The strange thing is that I'm connected to the wireless network on my phone so it must be in range.I'm using a Samsung laptop (Not sure of the model) that is running on windows xp.It doesn't have wireless connectivity built in so I am connected to the wireless using an 802.11 USB Wireless LAN Card network adaptor that is made by Ralink Technology, which is working properly according to the device status.

I have a couple of computers that are out of range of my router so I came up with a unique solution. I have an old laptop with 2 wireless cards that I put halfway between. It is working but I have a few oddities. First of all, the out of range computer is connected to another wireless router that several laptops and another (wired) PC connect to. It has ICS (Windows XP internet connect sharing) enabled. This rules out using ICS on the laptop as 2 pc's would have the address of 192.168.0.1.

I have no problems with my adapter its just that my router is too far from my desktop and I need something that can reach far lengths , I don't recall what my wireless name is other than it uses 802 g type but it doesn't cut it when I want to play league of legends, so any recommendations? Also just moving my desktop is not an option

I started out with a wireless router/modem that my ISP provides as its default modem. It was and still is working fine. We will call this router A. My uncle who is living with me wasn't receiving the wifi signal in his room so he went and bought a different router that is supposed to have more range. Also, I believe it is capable of providing higher speeds wirelessly, but that is really irrelevant I think. We can call this new router B. I currently have router B running through router A with an ethernet cable into a LAN port- LAN port to LAN port. I basically want B to be a wireless range extender.My question is quite simple actually. I have everything up and running just fine, but it seems as if the wireless signal may still be coming from the old router A.

I've just installed a Netgear WDR4500 (n900) in my second floor office.The wireless range works great for multiple top floor computers as well as the 1st floor TV/ps3/tablet area.I am having some issue in the backyard and back deck though. (just something about my stucco walls)
So here is my question.I have my old DLINK dir-655. Would it be advisable to use a powerline connection (I already have Powerline adapters) to the ground floor near the back and piggyback the wireless?(This would also allow me to Hardwire the TV/ps3/htpc)

Im having trouble connecting to a wireless router. I live in an apartment and my next door neighbor said it would be ok to use his wireless connection. It shows up as an in range router but when I try and connect after entering the wpa password he provided me it just acts like it's going to connect but then never does. Doesn't even attempt to aquire an ip. I went to his apartment and attached my computer directly to his netgear router and that worked fine. My computer is a dell running windows xp service pack 3.

I get 10% signal in my bedroom using WEP2 and I would like to boost this to at least 50%
1) I have 2 DIR-655 Wireless N routers, both functional.
2) The first router is on the other side of the house from my room
3) The second router is not in use at all ... I'd like to take advantage of it
4) I have an Ethernet drop in my bedroom that runs under the house to the first router. I have a switch on that drop and use it for my Sony / Netflix box ...
I have been told that the DIR-655 cannot be used as a repeater. Can I not take advantage of the 2nd router to boost my signal in any way?

I have just purchased a Netgear WN3000RP wireless extender.The security setting on all devices on the existing network show as WPA2-PSK wireless n but the extender comes up as WPA-PSK wireless g although the instructions say it will copy existing security settings.There is supposed to be a Netgear website to log on to an installation wizard but this doesn't work and appears not to have worked for some months.Why are Netgear still selling this device without an installation disc when they must know by now that their site doesn't work?Is there any way to alter the security setting of the extender?

In a bit of a predicament. We're from Ireland and we've two houses on the farm that are exactly 108m as the crow flies. The main house is where we live and the other is more of an office type small house. We've no phone line or internet connection in it and the location is in a dip where we've bad mobile/cell connection. We're don't want to pay an extra55 a month for phone line and internet just to use the internet maybe twice a week. We have a wireless connection in the main home house and want to extend it to the other. I know there are ways but confuesed as to which to use.

I have a BT broadband connection with one of their BT Home Hub 2 routers. Within the house the wireless signal is fine, however I have an outside office in the garden which is just beyond the normal range of the wireless signal. I tested this by connecting using my DELL XPS Win7 laptop and walking from the house to the office and it lost the signal about 10 feet short!
Is there any way to extend the range of the wireless signal? I cannot use homeplugs as the office is on a different fuse box from the house.
The BT Home Hub 2 is an ADSL router using n technology.
I do have a spare Netgear N150 ADSL2+ wireless router, is there any way of using it to boost the range of the signal?

I purchased a 2nd router to boost my wireless range.in order to set this up, is all I have to do is set router 2 outside the range of the DHCP and turn OFF DHCP on router 2. Then I can successfully connect the two routers and if I am upstairs use router1 and downstairs use router2 wireless signal?What would be the pros/cons of using the same SSID? I know one benefit would be not having to set-up each device to connect to the new network name of router 2, but IDK what problems this could ensue. One immediate problem I can think of is if a device could not connect I wouldn't know which router (router1 or router2) the device was unable to connect to immediately.
