Dell :: Install 1520 Wireless Card In XPS 8300?

Jul 27, 2011

Ive recently bought a Dell XPS 8300 desktop PC without a wireless card.

I have purchased a Dell 1520 wireless mini PCI-E card and installed it but it is not showing in the device manager at all.

The system is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, so i have downloaded the relevant driver for the wireless card from the Dell website but when i try to install the driver i get an error message along the lines of "No compatible hardware found. The software you are attempting to install is not supported on this system."

It clearly states that this driver is compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.

Ive tried refreshing the hardware list in device manager and searching for new hardware and ive cleaned the connector on the wireless card and reinstalled but it still isnt being recognised.

Dell :: Windows Turns Off Broadcom Netlink Card In XPS-8300

Aug 21, 2011

Want to use WOL on 8300 with Broadcom Netlink card. Everything seems to be configured correctly: bios, network card, port forwarding etc. In fact I can wake up the 8300 over the internet following a complete shut down, but only if I do it within 3 secs or so, then it fires up OK. If I wait a little longer it will not respond to the Magic packet. I notice something strange which I suspect may be related: when I restart the PC, in the power management of the Broadcom card the box is checked that allows te computer to turn off the Broadcom card to save power, while I am sure that I unchecked it before shutdown. I suspect this setting is somehow overwritten by Windows. mentioned all BIOS setting are to enable WOL. As if Windows is ensuring that the Broadcom card is powered down so it cannot receive the Magic packet to initiate a startup.

Dell :: Gigabit Network Card On XPS 8300 Is Not Showing 1000 On Properties Of The NIC?

Apr 9, 2012

I checked the NIC Properties and the Speed & Duplex only shows the following 10 half, 10 full, 100 half, 100 full and auto. There is no 1000 half and 1000 full. My old gigabit NIC on my old computer shows all, 10s, 100s, and 1000s and the auto. They tried to fix it and even changed the driver but it still is not showing the 1000s. Their option was to change the motherboard with a refurbished one and my computer was just bought just 2 months ago. The original computer had 12GB memory, I7, AMD graphics card, 460 PSU. no blue-ray, no usb 3. The new setup is 16GB memory, I7, Nvidia GeForce GT 550 Ti, Usb 3, Blue-ray, I think 800 PSU.I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64. I have a Gigabit connection from my internet service so I wanted the NIC to go that fast too. The specs shows the computer to have a Gigabit NIC but the properties is not showing the 1000s.

Dell :: XPS 8300 - Slow Connection Speed Using Wireless

Dec 14, 2012

Got an XPS 8300 with a 1501 Wireless-N  WLAN half-mini card. I'm using a Linksys WRT160n router which can handle up to Draft 802.11n.

When wired directly  to router I'm getting ~21-25Mbps. When I go wireless, it's pitiful - down to ~2-4Mbps. We just got a new laptop in the house (a chromebook actually) and the wireless throughput on that is equal to my wired throughput  (21-25Mbps).

I'm using WEP security on the router.

What settings to check/modify to get my connection speed up? Everything I checked seems to be OK and the driver version is up-to-date.

Dell :: XPS 8300 - No Internet Access (Wired Or Wireless Connections)

Aug 17, 2012

My Dell XPS 8300 has been connecting to the internet without a problem for months until this morning. This morning the computer will not connect either through the LAN or wifi adapter. The network tray icon has the yellow triangle and says "no internet access."

I have reset both the computer and router multiple times and I have also unplugged them in between. Other computers in the house connect to the router without a problem wirelessly. This leads me to believe there is something wrong with the networking/system software configuration. The computer can't ping the router. It may be the software/system config was corrupted in the last 24 hours and I may need to reinstall the operating system which I would rather not do.

It doesn't appear that any unusual software updates were made in the last 24 hours beyond Adobe Acrobat and Flash. There have been no system updates that I could identify within the last month or so.

Dell :: No Network Recognition XPS 8300

Jan 18, 2013

I'm attempting to setup this computer (Dell XPS 8300) for the first time.  When I try to connect to my wireless router, it's as if the network card doesn't recognize ANY networks.  (Usually, even my neighbors' signals bleed over.)  I'm not too computer savvy, but I've never experience this before.  Usually, I fire up a new computer and it asks for my router key.  This one doesn't even act like it can find a signal.  I have a Broadcam NetLink Gigabit Ethernet card installed.  When I check my hardware, it says that "this device is working properly."

Dell :: XPS 8300 Desktop - Missing LAN Driver?

Apr 22, 2013

Here's my internet connection: modem to router (via ethernet), router to desktop (via ethernet). I should have a LAN connection. However, my desktop is on a wireless connection. Diving in further, I notice I do not even have a LAN connection available on the "Change Adapter Settings" screen (see attached photo).

If it matters, I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop.

Dell :: XPS 8300 Desktop Connects To Home Network But Not Internet

Aug 18, 2012

I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop and have been having issues with the modem connecting to the wireless network just fine but, I'm not able to access the internet.  This has only occurred over the last 24 hours and is frustrating.  I've read some other recent posts and have gone back and done the System Restore to before the installation of Windows Updates a day or so ago and that has worked twice today.  But I'm not a PC expert and I would like to know how I could resolve this issue permanently without having to undo the updates with System Restore every time I power up and log in.  How do I figure out what setting is being undone to disconnect the internet connection from my XPS 8300?

I've got a Dimension 8300 which I loaded Windows Server 2003. I've looked high and low for a compatible network driver with no luck.

I've attempted to install WinXP drivers as I've read that it worked for others in the past... no luck for me though. I've also tried a number of different chipset drivers without any luck.

Dell :: No Connection Detected Error On XPS 8300 After Reformat / Fresh Install

Sep 23, 2012

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.
