Compatibility of the warranty replacement wireless adapter

I have the Dell Inspiron 15 500 I5558. I bought it in August this year. Since the 1st day, I had problems with the wireless adapter. I've updated the drivers, I did troubleshoot with Dell, etc. The card that came with the laptop Intel AC 3160 and if you Google Intel AC 3160, you'll get several hits from users having problems with it. My tech support was rude and very long. I knew a lot more technology has made.

He finally decided that the card was bad. I said please do not send me another 3160 - there is a problem with this card. He agreed and said he checked and AC 7265 would be compatible with my laptop. I saw pictures of my map and pictures of the AC 7265. They are two PCIe cards, but the AC 3160 has just an antenna and is half-height. The 7265 has 2 antennas and is NOT low profile. I saw on the Dell website that the NEW Dell 15 5000 comes with the AC 3165 (I think) or the AC7265.

I know that you need to have an added aerial if they use the 7265, but will it work? It fit?

I realize the 3160 is halfway, but this does not mean that there is not space for a larger map.

Hello

It gets confusing you know that sometimes, but Intel has generally several form factors from each of their wireless cards that they put out.  (it's really a change on the chips that change).  It confuses me all the time.

I can tell you that looking at the internal view together data of the product for the Insp 5558 than the AC7265 from Intel is one of the cards which is listed as an option available at the point of sale, so you should have no problem.

I hope this helps.

  • E530 replace Wireless Adapter that supports Dual Band?

    I bought my E530 of the local computer store and it came with the wireless adapter "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (2 x 2 BGN & BT4)" which does not support the Dual Band wireless. I am now looking to replace it with an adapter which favour the a/b/g/n wireless, but I'll have to find the correct model/part number wrong. I tried to look for her service parts guide but I have not found anything. I also tried to search for it using the "ThinkPad a/b/g/n Wireless BT Combo (2 x 2 ABGN & BT4.0)" card name (mentioned in the customization options) with no result.

    So does anyone know the name appropriate wireless adapter and the part number for the Board that supports Dual Band on E530 supported? Also, I would be grateful if someone could reference where I could buy it.

    Thank you.

    Interface PCI-E of all cards are using any chipset you have. 60Y3253 is the half size PCI-E and has no integrated bluetooth so you lose this feature, but if not, it should work perfectly. You can also call Lenovo support and ask the FRU for the 2 x 2 for the E530 cards although I doubt you'll find a some of them to sell now that the model is fairly new and not as popular as the T and X series.

  • Disable the admin for wireless adapter identification information

    I'm trying to allow our users the ability to enable or disable their adapters wireless computers without needing administrator credentials. is this possible via GPO or something like that or is it something that is built into windows? our users are on windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Thank you for your help.

    This is not possible.  The reason is that the network (the actual network card) hardware is shared a shared resource (users, programs, all share the same as that of the process).  It will always administrator rights to make a change affecting any person other than yourself, and what qualifies.  Need administrator rights to modify a global system.

    Note also that this is a virus fighting measure also.  Since any process that takes control of the global administrator could then look at all the data from the network, this program could do very malicious things like your data log, block it, or redirect to other locations. He could usurp your certificate and your antivirus updates or even your firewall prevent work.

    For all this and many more reasons, must an administrator make global change to your network card configuration. This is why many laptops have a switch on the side to turn it on and off.

  • Wireless adapter is no longer present in the Device Manager

    Hello

    I have an Asus laptop 1015E (http://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/1015E/#overview) running Windows 8.  I don't know when it happened, but the built-in wireless adapter is no longer present in the Device Manager.  I tried to use the Asus install app to reinstall the driver Asus Wireless Radio control, but it just says: it is already installed.  I also went to the site of asus via an ethernet connection and tried to download the latest drivers for wireless card, but installation cannot.  It seems as if the laptop detects most hardware, so I can't install driver software. Any ideas on how to proceed?
    Thank you

    Hi wolves.

    Do you receive an error message/code?

    When a device does not work, it's mostly because the driver has been corrupted.

    Here are some ways you can follow to resolve the problem:

    Method 1:

    Check out the link and follow the steps in the article:

    How can I troubleshoot network card?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/fix-network-adapter-problems#

    Method 2:

    You will need to install the Chipset Drivers first and later network adapter drivers.

    Reference:

    http://www.ASUS.com/us/supportonly/Drivers_For_Win8/#support_Download_36

    Method 3:

    Check the BIOS of the laptop to check that there isn't an option to toggle the map.

    Note: You can contact the manufacturer of the computer, if you are not comfortable access or make changes in the BIOS.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    In addition, contact the OEM of your system and see if they can replace the adapter or run a test to make sure that the adapter is working properly.

    I hope this helps. If you have any other queries/issues related to Windows, write us and we will be happy to help you further.

  • How to activate the wireless adapter

    I currently have a HP Pavilion 17 computer laptop with Windows 7 Professional.  A few times in the past in the unit's wireless adapter stopped working.  I don't remember what I did to get it working again, then however at this time I can not activate even if I followed all the steps to change the settings of the adapter on the network and sharing Center.  When I select Connect, it simply shows that it is not connected.  Nothing I have tried seems to help.  I have a unit of Belkin Wi - Fi that works and my laptop runs as long as I have an Ethernet cable connected.  However if I disconnect the cable from the laptop does not connect via wireless adapter.  In the past he would always stay connected to the Wi - Fi connection even if I disconnected the cable.  Please give me any thoughts you had to solve it.  Thanks in advance for your efforts and help.

    I just wanted to know that I found the solution to my problem with the help of a response of the same issue posted last year.  Repeated pressing the F12 key with the picture of an airplane on the wireless card.  Forgive my ignorance, but thanks to all who took time to try to help me.

    OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, WHEN THEY SWITCH TO WIN 7. BUT THERE WAS NO MIRACLE DOCUMENTED THAT I CAN FIND ON THE WEB. IN THE OTHER FORUMS DISCUSS ISSUES RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM CONGREGATE, THEY PROVIDE NO BUGS. I NEED HELP TO SET UP MY WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER TO THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE WIRELESS NETWORK.

    Thank you all who responded and have tried to help me. Before posting, I tried most of the mentioned patches, including upgrading my firmware of the router. In addition, I went to Device Manager and scanned for changes and checked the properties under the Advanced tab of the Wifi link adapter. I tried the update driver and deactivation and activation of the device. None of this has worked.

    Finally, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Wifi card. It worked. I guess the driver software became corrupt and data of the register of the device had probably need re - install, this is what worked. This seems to happen when upgrading Windows operating systems prior to WIN 7 and later people lose their wifi connection. Then this problem develops.

    It worked for me. I hope this works for others with the same problem.

    Once again I thank you all.

  • Impossible to activate the USB Belkin, f5d8055 wireless adapter in Windows 7

    I have an old Dell Laptop Inspiron 6400 PC I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on. The built-in wireless adapter works well, but I would like to use an external Belkin F5D8055 N + USB adapter for inclease & range performance.
    So far, I installed the drivers for the correct adapter on the Belkin site and they seem to install correctly. The adapter is recognized and no error display in Device Manager.
    If I disable or uninstall the integrated Dell wireless adapter and try and turn on the Belkin adapter, while the message displayed indicates that it allows, the adapter is disabled and grayed out. I even turned off the Dell Wireless card in the bios that actually no difference.
    I know that the adapter Belkin F5D8055 working as I tried to install it in another laptop (Lenovo) and it works OK.
    My question is what could be causing the adapter Belkin to stay disabled? Is this something that is that collide with the Belkin drivers?
    I find a second laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 with the same generation and has the same symptoms with the Belkin adapter.
    I also tried a former C and W USB wireless adapter and it also will not help.
    Is there a fundamental issue with computers Dell laptop, Inspiron and Windows 7?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much

    Hi Zach, you are quite correct! I have now uninstalled Zonealarm and the Belkin adapter install and activate OK. Thank you very much.

    Do you know if Zonealarm can be configured to work with the Belkin adapter, or is it one or the other?

    Thanks again.

    Unfortunately, it's going to be one or the other, try to reinstall.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-7000: Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter does not connect to 802.11n network

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-7000, equipped with the Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter.  For the life of me, I can't get it to connect to my home network when implemented as 802.11n.  They connect other devices. If I change my router 802.11 g, but no other change, doe HP connect. But if I return the router to 802.11n, HP sees the network, and it correctly identifies as a 802.11n network, but does not connect.

    The router is a D - Link DIR-615 (N300 2.4 ghz)

    All this experience? All solutions?

    Woo-Hoo.

    Found a solution.  Both HP and windows said I had the most current drivers, but this HP forum had a link to a newer driver.  Installed and it worked.

  • Wireless adapter loss connections access after opening a browser

    Watch a few weeks ago, I noticed that the wireless radio option 'would disappear"of the Fn + F5 and tries to connect to a wireless network in the dial-up connections would be error with the error 'no wireless adapter found. '

    I've updated all the drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled in order, as suggested by other messages, but I think there is another problem. If I do not open a browser or Firefox, IE, AC works fine and the radio always wireless option appears in Fn + F5. As soon as I open a browser, wireless radio goes. I stay connected is not a problem, except when I want to connect to a different wireless network, or, if I get dropped for some reason any and need to reconnect. Then, the only option is to restart.

    I enabled the logging option and the only thing I could see was an error message disappears from the radio wireless around the exact time. This is the error message:

    ERROR AcSvc (SYSTEM (Prvlg).4056.2180) [1/3] 08:34:31:109 AcOidHlpr::GetOidValue: SetMacFileName() failed!

    Any suggestions?

    Where can I say Lenovo to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Update: if I create a new profile, it is not a wireless or a wired adapter - switched only modems...

    Problem solved--apparently this is caused by the Google Latitude gadget, I have installed on my iGoogle homepage. He took off and now all is welll...

  • Enabling/disabling wireless adapter without administrator rights (Win 7 64 - bit)

    Is there a way to toggle wireless adapter without it as an administrator? Our political laptops where user access is limited and admin password is required to install all the software are submitted. Since the enabling/disabling wireless adapter requires Admin rights, users by default are not able to turn on/off wireless. However, our IT Department has confirmed that their policy has nothing to do with the wireless adapter and it's a setting in Win 7. Is there a solution to this? Thank you.

    There is no control of Windows 7 that will allow a user account Standard toggle the WiFi card.

    A Standard user account is limited to the secondary action of switching on & off WiFi using the F7 / Fn + F5 key or the key it is for the model [a switch is often provided in the dialog box Windows-X as well, "Windows Mobility Center" key].
