DW1501 Wireless card not connected

I recently installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and installed all necessary drivers on my Dell Inspiron N5010.

Everything works perfectly except the wireless card, and when I say everything that I really mean every thing in this laptop works except wireless.

It seems that I can't turn on the wireless card and Dell PC Diagnostics tell me that the wireless adapter is disconnected.

I have all the drivers installed and I installed them in the order that it was suggested on this forum. In the Device Manager it tells me that the driver is installed and that the device is functioning properly.

I activated the Wifi with the F2 key, but it still does not work. Dell QuickSet says that Wifi is turned on, but the wireless card does not work.

Can you help me please? Is there something I can do?

Ariel.Demian,

I can give you to download and install drivers, but first let's try this...

Download and run the AVG removal tool , and then restart your computer. See if you can connect. If you still can not connect, then start, Control Panel, programs and features, Zone Alarm, uninstall.

Restart your computer and try to connect.

  • Wireless card not found - Portege M100

    I hope someone can help me, I'm pulling out my hair!

    I bought a used Portege M100 (model number PPM10E) and is in serious trouble to install the mini-pci wireless adapter that comes with it.

    When I turn on the wireless switch on the front, light on the cover comes in orange.

    Windows XP (Pro, SP1, and SP2 update) does not see the device. Device Manager acknowledges 2 devices with problems: 'Network controller' and 'other devices '.

    I downloaded the drivers all listed for this model and installed (or tried!) in the order specified in the Installation Instructions file (from the same page of drivers Toshiba download for this model).

    I also installed Everest Home Edition, and he sees the wireless adapter and tells me that it is an Intel 2200 BG.

    I tried to get drivers updated Intel and driverguide.com, but none of them will have, either - not even on a clean install, substituting them the driver provided by Toshiba.

    The wireless card works perfectly in other non-Toshiba notebook, also running Win XP Pro - so I guess that there is a conflict of software/hardware with this Toshiba laptop!

    I tried to 'update driver' on 1 2 problem devices) by pointing their (via Device Manager / driver update) each downloaded game (uncompressed) file. No joy.
    (2) to connect to my router via an ethernet cable and allowing Windows to search online for drivers. No joy here no more.

    When I try to run the Atheros Client Utility or Config Free, they can't find any wireless adapter on the system.

    Can someone give me advice on what to do next? Specifically, I bought this machine because I need to use wireless.

    Thanks in advance (and hope!)

    Teddy

    A few questions:
    1. you said that the wireless network card works in the Toshiba laptop not. Did you change the card WiFi of your Toshiba to the other laptop?
    2. you are not sure if it's an Intel or Atheros Wlan card (otherwise it makes no sense to install a client with an Intel Wlan card atheros). Could you please send the PnP ID of the device (DeviceManager-> properties-> details-> Hardware ID)?

    I have a WRT610Nv1. It worked perfectly for about a year until my internet whent out. I have reset my modem and the router and one day more late my wireless connection could not connect to the internet. I can connect to my wireless router, but I can't do it to the interenet. However, if I use a wired connection, I can connect to the internet. I have tried power cycling, releasing the ip - IP, MAC address, change the beacon interval, fragmentation & rts threshold, change the ip address of the router, encryption, disable my firewall, disabling of cloning to renew the upgrade of the firmware.

    I even bought a new WRT610Nv2 and had the same problem. I spent four hours on the phone with support linksys technique, and they couldn't help. Only, they went through the basics and everything I had already tried. I call the comcast tech support, and they say it's a problem of router and they can't help me.

  • WUSB54GSC Wireless does not connect to Internet

    Hello

    I have an ongoing dilemma.  I have an adapter WUSB54GSC I try to connect to the Internet with.  I tried several remedies listed on this site, as well as several times for loading and unloading the adapter software program.  I loaded the drivers of the adapter using the knowledge article 4088 Base (who worked as indicated).  I have another computer that is connected to the same router connects the wireless card, and the other computer has no problem connecting to the Internet.

    However, I am still not able to access the Internet with Linksys WUSB54GSC.  I use the Windows XP Media Center operating system, and the router is a NetGear WGR614 54 M RTL.  With all the efforts made so far, what I've accomplished becomes the wireless adapter to connect to the router.  And yet despite this, the wireless network card software never shows an I.P. address or a subnet mask address (these two are always 0.0.0.0).  He has never shown a gateway address (that's all just empty).  And the two lines of DNS information are empty as well.  So, I'm at an impasse as to why I can't do the Protocol appropriate in the adapter information, so it can make the connection with the Internet.  I tried using the configuration of the adapter through the procedure XP wireless.  I get the same results.  The monitor in the systray icon has always said the address is sought, but he never finds one.  Can someone help me with this problem?  Thanks for any help!

  • wireless adapter not connecting not but adapter wired does

    My wireless adapter does not connect to the internet, but when I wired for it (I realize that there are two different cards).

    A couple of weeks, I have experimented with setting up a static IP address because another laptop needed a static IP to configure the router for port forwarding.

    It turns out that I did not need port forwarding, so I put (or I thought I put) flag in DHCP.   Apparently I don't have something correct return set to the wireless card.

    I had checked the TCP/IP on the wireless and it is set up for DHCP and/or not to use a static IP address.  But I think I'm missing a few settings that are not allowing me to connect wirelessly.

    Any suggestions?

  • Linksys Router WRT160N - Wireless does not connect to the cable modem

    I installed the Linksys WRT160n router to replace an existing G router. When installed the new wireless router works, but the router does not receive a connection (IP address - look under status) of the cable modem (so no internet). When I reconnect the old router and then connect the new router, I get any internet connection through two routers (so the old dishes router the IP address that accepts the new router).

    I have configured the router N new for

    "Automatic configuration - DHCP", no need for connection, IP address dynamic, etc (as required by ISP - Timewarner)

    I tried to renewal and release IP address by the router N when it is connected directly to the main switch (the switch to connect to the cable modem). In so doing, shouldn't that assign a new IP address to the router?

    I am allowed 3 IPs from the cable company (because of the switch) and I use all three with three different internet IP cameras to each address for home security system.

    Any suggestions on why the router is not connecting to the internet? Do I need to reboot physically everything on the network, including the cable modem?

    If I understand your post, you said that your ISP gives you 3 Internet IP addresses and you have 3 cameras that use one of these Internet IP addresses.  If this is correct, then that leaves no IP Internet address for your WRT160N use - so that would explain why your WRT160N cannot get an Internet connection.

    If I misread your post, and you have an Internet IP address available for the WRT160N, you might have a problem with your modem and two WRT160N tries to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.  To check this, follow these steps:

    (1) Please indicate addresses that use your cameras (IE before you take the test below).  If the addresses do not begin with 192.168, then erase the last half of each address.

    (2) Please indicate your ISP

    (3) Please indicate the make and exact model of your modem (not the WRT160N) number.

    (4) Please do the following test:

    Put your entire network.  Disconnect the switch (including cameras) to the modem.  Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer.  (Do not use the WRT160N for this test).  Turn on the modem and the computer.  Make sure you have an active Internet connection, then go ahead with what follows: (even if your Internet connection does not work, include this and move forward.)

    Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig/all" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key.   Copy all results in your next post.  To make the copy, highlight the results, and then use the keys copy (Ctrl-c) and paste (Ctrl-v) keys.  If your "IP address" does not begin with 192.168, then for security reasons, delete the latter half of your IP address.
