hello, i have been having this problem with my wireless network driver. I know this issue was a while back, but I got stuck and got busy. Now I have time to fix it,and I still could not fix it despite searching around google and Dell forums.
The problem: There was a brief period of time where i could not access the internet even though it says im connected(limited connectivity). So i tried uninstalling the network driver and install it again. However, when i uninstalled it, i could not install it back and i could not use wireless. I tried connecting using wire,but i still could not connect to the internet. In the device manager, it also has an exclamation mark on "network controller".
Network adapters: Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller(NDIS 6.20)
Other Devices: Network Controller : Hardware Ids :
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0083&SUBSYS_13258086&REV_00
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0083&SUBSYS_13258086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0083&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0083&CC_0280
Does anyone know the solution to this? I would be glad to provide as much information if anyone is willing to help and guide me on this step by step. thanks
