Inspiron 15R 5521 Wireless does not not on Win7 32 bit

Hello

I bought Dell Inspiron 15R 5521, recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and I have trouble finding the right drivers to get the wireless working. Can you help?

So can you advise any other drivers I need to install?

Your paper download section there seems to be only 64-bit drivers.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Reinis

The drivers are here:

http://FTP.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-5521.html

Most are 32-bit and 64-bit. It is a bit more including the Intel graphics driver and wireless card Intel that are 64-bit only. The 32-bit versions of these lies in the Intel Download Center:

    ChuckFarah,

    Try using the recommended wireless router settings, I use channel 11. If it works, then try it with WPA/WPA2 mixed mode and see if it connects.

    In network and sharing Center, you see a LAN?

    What program anti-virus and firewall are you using?

    Can you run REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and the OWNER UNREGISTERED research information system and publish the information here.

  • I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now my wireless does not work.

    Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .

    original title: Wireless problems after install.

    I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help

    Question...  You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?

    While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.

    You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included.  This could be a hardware problem PURE.

  • Dell Inspiron 15R (5521) drivers for Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2230 10/64-bit Windows

    Hey there!
    Please suggest me drivers for my Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 wireless network card.

    PC:
    DELL Inspiron 15R (5521)
    Intel Core i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90 GHz 2.40 GHz and 8 GB of RAM
    10 pro/64-bit Windows

    I should add that, first of all, I have improved my previous windows (W8.1 to W10 pro and everything worked perfectly (including the wireless network card) until I did a clean install of W10 pro... everything works fine except the adapter.)

    Also tried the drivers from the website of the manufacturer (DELL)... but no driver is listed for my card. I tried even to those who are listed IE wireless Dell 1703/1705/1901 & Dell Wireless 1704, but none of them worked. Also given a test for the drivers supplied by Intel... but has not worked.

    Well... seems that driver is not yet or I'm just missing.
    However when I search the drivers for another OS (like W8.1)... my driver for the card is registered, so South I return to W8.1 for now or just wait for the new drivers...!

    Please answer ASAP

    (: :) CHEERS)

    Hey mate!

    I understand your problem... but no one bothers even respond! ***!

    Well... I've set things on mine!

    What have I done?

    Yet once, I did a clean install of W10... updated my drivers except the ones adapter!

    Instead of using the latest drivers, I downloaded the drivers for Bluetooth and Wi - Fi for an OS as W8 diffenent... even if I was not convinced that they r going to work... but anyway... thought to give it a try!
    AND THIS FIXED EVERYTHING!

    The drivers installed without hassle!
    AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE NOW!

    Hope this helps u.

    PS - Don't forget to say thanks!

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Wireless does not work after restoring from HARD drive

    After that restore disks for installing a new HD and use and to update XP sp2, the Wireless does not work and if the card is installed XP hangs then works in fits and starts. If the card not in place, not bad at all.

    Booting from a Linux CD, the card works perfectly! I assume that the driver is the problem. The wireless card is the original, an Agere MPC13A-20/R, with Toshiba p/n PA317U-1MPC.

    I have found some drivers Agere, but am not sure

    (1) if they are correct
    (2) how to install since the machine works in a way limited with the card in place.

    Any advice?

    Hello

    I checked the page of the pilot and the only available for Windows XP WLan driver is the driver of v.1.11.108 Agere.

    (1) just try to install this driver. If the driver is not correct or is not compatible, then windows will not install the driver and you will receive a notification. You just have to try

    (2) generally you may reinstall the driver from the Device Manager. Open network controller tree, and then you can reinstall the driver.

    But this is only possible if the windows started successfully

    PS: Have you checked the information of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    I discovered that you need to update several utilities if you have installed SP2 on this laptop.

  • Satellite L40-17 t Wireless does not! Win 7 32 bit

    Hello, my name is Alex. I have a problem with Toshiba L40 - 17 t wireless driver.

    So 3 weeks ago I got windows 7, WiFi worked fine, had no problems with it.
    Recently I reinstalled windows 7, and now my wireless does not work. It is said that no connection is available, even if the distance between my laptop and the router is 10 cm.

    I tried windows 7 driver newest---> does not
    I tried windows vista a newer driver---> does not
    I tried the windows xp compatibility mode---> does not

    Lucky my local network works, and I can't access internet, but I also want to use the Wi - Fi function.

    My wireless card is Realtek RTL8187B.

    I tried the drivers from realtek site too, they are not no longer works.

    However, I remember before you reinstall windows 7, I looked at the version of the driver and its date was around 2008. I have not found all the drivers for Toshiba L40 - 17 t, difficult 2008. I hope someone can help me solve my problem.

    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    > I tried drivers from realtek site too, they are not no longer works.
    Is this means that wireless network adapter is not installed and recognized properly in the Device Manager?
    In the Manager of devices-> network cards, you should see the wireless network card. If there is no yellow exclamation point and then the wireless network card is installed correctly and that the driver is working

    > I have windows 7 ultimate, wireless worked fine, had no problems with it.
    Recently I reinstalled windows 7, and now my wireless does not work. It is said that no connection is available, even if the distance between my laptop and the router is 10 cm.

    This suggests that there is s configuration problem.

    First of all; Are you sure that the WiFi was enabled? Using FN + F8, you can enable the wireless network adapter. If the FN buttons would not work, then you must install VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility. If you didn t find these tools in the pilot L40, please check the new generation of portable devices such as L500 or newer.

    On the other hand; are firewalls, antivirus software pre-installed that could affect the connectivity? Check it; I've been reading about similar problems, and finally a firewall (like zonealarm) was the problem!

    Following; Do not forget that you have configured the wireless correctly; use the good encryption and password; for testing purposes, you can disable the security settings on your router and may attempt to connect without the use of encryption.

  • Satellite Pro L40 Wireless does not and wont stop correctly

    Hello
    just got a Satellite Pro L40-15 1 week ago and it's been downhill.

    The Wireless does not work (and yes the switch is activated and drivers installed). Sometimes windows recognizes no device when I boot.

    And when I stopped he said blocking down, but crashes just on this screen.

    Now, I'm an advanced user, so I've tried many things. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    As a first step, I would recommend to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and renew the operating system.
    Then update the Vista of the State. I mean to install patches and fixes Vista all published.

    Check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?MessageID=107665

    Here you can see that a missing patches can have a bad influence on the wireless network card and the entire operating system!

    Good luck

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L500D-163 (with card wireless 802.11 b/g/n)
    Router: Pirelli Discus (having support 802.11 b/g).

    Hello

    I bought a portable Toshiba, Satellite L500D-163, two days ago.

    Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04, the Wireless does not work. It shows all the available wireless network neighborhood, including mine, but it connects to my network.

    I also have an Acer laptop that connects to my network wireless without problem.

    I placed the Toshiba laptop side by side with my Acer laptop and tried all the options:
    802 11b, 802.11 g - WEP, WPA, WPA2
    with simple passwords of the style: "00000000".

    and SSID wireless to the router changed something as simple as "abcde".
    Computer Acer laptop connected without problem in all cases, but Toshiba didn't connect.

    In Windows 7, the connection information appears as connected but 'Limited' and the software Toshiba says that the laptop is not getting an IP address.

    I manually entered the IP address (192.168.1.2), subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and the default gateway (192.168.1.1 router =) below the configuration in Windows 7 wireless card, but it did not work.

    The laptop must support Toshiba, or y at - it an incompatibility with my router?

    Thank you.

    Great! Thanks for that!
