Hi Guys,

Today suddenly in the morning I can't detect my wifi on my Laptop whici Dell Inspiron 15 7537

Tried looking for them in the device manger, even looked in hidden devices but just couldn't find it.

Tried restarting, scanning for hardward changes but nothing.

Please help as I read as much as I could but couldn't find any solution whatsoever.

After reinstalling windows 7 64bit and update all the drivers from DELL support, i do not have anymore 300mbps but just 150Mbps.From manager devise/network adapters/Intel Centrino Wireless-N1030/properties/advanced/802.11n bandwidth 2.4, i have to choices 20 MHZ and auto. I marked AUTO. With few words i lost the 40MHZ choice. At this moment my DELL is not 40MHZ capable, and Idon't know why.

My Router is Linksys X1000 N300 with ADSL2+Modem and marked AUTO (20MHZ or 40mhz)

I cannot connect to the internet with my Dell laptops.  My wife and I both have the Dell Inspiron 15.  My is model number 3542.  I have upgraded to a Linksys router, WRT1900ACDS.  Neither of our computers will connect to the internet.  They will connect to the router but provide local networking only.  Interestingly, I can logon as a guest and have no problem getting to the internet.  I also have no problem with my iphone, ipad, or HP laptop using Vista.  I have upgraded all drivers on my computer.  What can the problem and resolution be for the Dell wifi network adaptor?

My desktop keeps losing internet connection. When I run "troubleshooter" it resets the LAN adapter. It will only do this if I do it ad "administrator. My WIFI seems fine. Do I need a driver update?

All of a sudden my laptop will not allow me to switch off of airplane mode. Not sure what to do at this point, I downloaded a package here: 

and the install fails.

Any help offered is appreciated, thanks in advance!

I've having problems of connection for my Dell Travel Mouse WM524, which connected very well before an Windows 10 upgrade in September. After looking into many issues I found an error message at Airplane Mode Switch in Human Interface Devices in Device Manager at settings of windows 10.

When I disable the Airplane Mode Switch the Dell Travel Mouse WM524 connected very easily and is now functioning. Does anybody know what is the problem and how I can correct it without disabling teh airplane switch?

Thanks

Hi my laptop won't connect and shows very weak signal even when I'm next to router, I disabled network card and enabled it again and still nothing the device manager shows device working properly, when I go to dell help on laptop shows no network connection. Is this a bad network card, warranty shows to 6/10/2017 please help

My network card is a Dell Wireless 1705 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHZ) but I have access to 5 GHZ internet. I don't know how network cards work exactly but I do know that it refuses to even see my 5 GHZ connection. I have no problems connecting to the 2.4 GHZ internet however. Is there some kind of fix for this or am I stuck with what I have given the network card? Thanks!

I am experiencing a peculiar wifi issue with my Dell Inspiron 17R-5720. After connecting to wifi, the laptop will work fine for a period of time (usually 5 minutes), and then all of the sudden the internet connection will stop working. The laptop will show it is still connected to the wifi source, but that it has no internet. After attempting to disconnect from the wifi source, the wifi menu seems to freeze, then after getting it to close, the wifi menu empties, then after a while repopulates with wifi sources. After reconnecting, the wifi issue resurfaces. Sometimes I'll even need to reboot as the laptop simply won't show any available wifi after disconnecting.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro (x64 bit). After reading a lot on the forums, I realized after installing Windows 10 Pro I never installed the drivers, so I attempted to install the chipset then network drivers. Everything installed seamlessly until I tried the Wifi driver. It fails even when run as Administrator. I've posted below my system information regarding network devices and the error being provided by the driver software.

What do I need to do to fix my wifi issue?

hey,

I just reinstalled windows 7 onto a dell inspiron 3521 and it has no drivers so I cannot get internet access. I have been trying to get the essential drivers so that I can hook up an Ethernet cable and then get everything else form the website automatically. I can't seem to find the right one though. I've tried the wifi and the wifi+bluetooth driverss so far and I keep getting error messages when they try to install. Anyone know which driver I need or what I may be doing wrong? Thanks ~MB

HI I dell INspiron 7537 with a network adapter: 

Realtek RTL8168/8111 Gigabit-LAN (10/100/1000MBit)

For seemingly no reason at all suddenly my connectivity vanishes.  Like it shows that the cable is plugged in but I not longer can access the internet.  If I pull my ethernet out and put it back in it automatically reconnects but this happens at random for the most part.  I took my PC into Best Buy to have it serviced because my Dell warranty has run out and the say they tested the PC and found now problem.  Before I potentially go weeks again with my PC, can anyone shed light on this problem?

Need Wifi Driver For Dell D430, Windows 7, 32-bit.

Can you help?

Also, Can you send an e-mail to send you a cash tip through paypal?

Thank you, Antonio

I guess I could find the latest software updates manually but this application makes it easier.

Any assistance would be helpful.

Thank you!

My Dell docking station usually performs pretty flawless with my Venue tablet. In the last week I noticed it has had some interruptions with the Ethernet connection (lost connectivity with network and then reconnected almost right away). Yesterday, my Ethernet connection doesn't exist. Also, the USB ports on the docking station are not functional. However, the docking station is charging the tablet and the two video ports are working also. Anyone have any ideas?

To Brad Dell L,

Where do I find the wireless drivers (Intel AC 7260) for my XPS 8700 ?

i have dell xps m1330 laptop. When i turn on wifi switch which is located on right side of laptop, only bluetooth gets turn on and wifi does not gets turned on. i have upgraded to windows 7 from windows vista recently. the wifi catcher switch is also not working.please answer me.

I have an Inspiron 5748 running Windows 10 Pro.

I recently bought a pair of Bose QuietComfort 35 bluetooth headphones. When I pair the headphones to my laptop, my wifi connection drops repeatedly and intermittently. When I unpair the headphones from my laptop, my wifi connection returns to normal.

I have upgraded my laptops bluetooth and networking drivers to the latest version, plus updated the firmware on the QC35's to the latest.

I have run diagnostic tests on my laptops bluetooth and networking services - all passed.

I have run diagnostics on my Virgin Broadband wifi router - all passed.

Something about the bluetooth and the wifi is clashing but I'm at a loss as to what to do next in order to zero in on the cause of the problem.

Can anyone help?

Hi there.

I have a newly bought Dell Inspiron 17 7778 and the WiFi drops sometimes every minute.

It is very frustrating.

Can some one please direct me to the correct WiFi driver I need to fix this problem?
I have never had this problem with any other brand of laptop before.

Thanks
