Cannot turn on my wifi on a dell inspiron 9400

We bought the linksys wrt54gs and all is well with our 2 other laptops to connect to the internet. I can't activate my wifi on dell inspiron 9400, in order to connect wireless. I think that this is supposed to be fn f2, to allow, but who doesn't.

Help, please...

What symbol is blue on your F2 key?

(1) a radio station antenna?

(2) a battery?

(3) others?

If you do not have a radio station antenna, then look for a switch turn on your wireless adapter.  If you have a switch, it should be located on the side of the computer.  If you have a switch, turn on the light of Wi - Fi to your computer on and outside.

In addition, have messed about in the Bios of your computer?  If so, then maybe you accidentally turned off your card wireless in the bios of your computer.

In addition, on some computers, you can disable the card wireless in your wireless network card settings (double-click on the bottom wireless icon on the right).  Then click here to see if your wireless card is turned off.

Also, in Device Manager, where you found "Use this device (enabled)" - set to 'disable', restart the computer and then reset "enable" and see if that helps.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 and the charger has stopped working. I looked on the Dell support site and they sell no spare Chargers.  I looked on ebay and they are inundated with Chargers dell from £ 6 to £99.    But how can I be sure that they will not be some sloppily made Chinese clone that will burn my house!

    I would have a go to repair the charger If Dell has not seen fit to the heat of welding the two halves closed!

  • Satellite L500 - cannot turn off the WiFi and network icon changing itself

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L500-1GL (comes with Win 32-bit =) and since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function. When I use the shortcut key to activate or disable the indicator led is turning on and off, but the wireless feature is always turned on and even the icon which shows the network connection, itself changes without doing something with it.

    A few times it shows Red Cross (as she has no connection), but says: connected. When I use wireless connecton always displays the cable connection icon. most of the time, when he should have been showing the strength of the signal.

    This is reaally annoing. Please help me solve this problem.

    Hi danihun,

    > since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function.
    The updates you have installed exactly?

    In your case, I would try a system restore to an earlier point.

  • How to turn on the stereo mix on Dell Inspiron 5520?

    Hey,.

    I am looking for a couple of hours now, trying to find why my computer dell laptop isn't has the option of stereo mix as in any normal laptop, and really - I'm desperate!

    First of all, I tried to install the Realtek driver, which does not work. Looking all over the web, find a lot of dell without the stereo mix option, I finally found this topic.

    I think that there is no hope... but mabye, someone has already found a response. After all, how it is possible that dell WILL NOT SUPPORT stereo Mix Option?

    Please, read the section above before suggesting anything, because I tried also what appears there and could not find my solution.

    Thank you very much,

    When I use a card reader external to see pictures on a CF card is not a problem, it gives me options to choose what need do is what I want my internal card reader to do, any help, advice or solutions would be very welcome for all your technicians over there.

    Follow the procedure described in the following article:

    "How to disable the Windows Autorun feature"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/967715 >

    There is a section in this article "How to selectively disable specific Autorun features", but you can disable it only based on the "Type" of the player.  What you can find, is that your CF card reader goes up as a 'removable disc' then your SD reader rises up like a 'fixed reader' (or vice versa) and it is the determining factor on the behavior that you get.

    I'm looking for driver wifi for a Dell Inspiron 6000 running Windows 7, 32-bit. It's a Systems Conexant RD02-D110.

    We will have to try some creative things to get these devices to work because your laptop was not designed to run Vista or W7.

    No matter how it is, your laptop will not be able to run Windows Aero because the graphics card does not meet the hardware requirements.

    First the graphics... Download and run this driver.  You will probably get an error not supported operating system.

    Conclusion of any windows error.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Have you installed the driver WLan?
    The laptop seems to be equipped with the Atheros AR9285 WiFi card and in most cases the Fn + F8 key does not work because the Wlan driver is not installed or is not working properly.

    Recommend first of all remove the network card wireless from Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After restarting again install the new driver Atheros Wlan downloaded for this wlan card.

    Here you can find all the drivers Wlan published by Toshiba:

  • HP Pavilion 15-n270sa: cannot turn on WiFI using as supposed to action on HP Pavilion keys

When you have completed the installation I was not able to use my work as supposed to keys when I need to turn on my WiFi Fn + f12 keys. The drivers Ethernet and network are yellow and because I couldn't get my WiFi I tried the wireless adapter.
