Inspiron 17 5000 5758 signal fluctuating series AC - 3160 Intell wireless and wifi poor problem and solution

I tried putting this on an existing thread, but in case this helps someone else, I bought a new laptop which had poor wifi signal performance.  You could see the signal just bouncing up and down on the taskbar indicator.  Also browsing the internet would give the message "cannot find server".  Adapter would show bad connection speed reduced down to 11 mb.  When the laptop has been moved near wireless modem, things would work better.  (moved and within 3 feet)

It turns out that the sons of antennas have been disconnected card wireless at the back.  There are two screws that hold the plastic cover on and once opened a 3rd screw that holds a bit of support that secures the son.  It is very easy to check.  Two of my friends have been disconnected!

Anyway, tried to put it in the thread below but may be too old, he also has some good tips:

  • Upgrade memory for Inspiron 13 5000 series (2 in 1)

    Hi, this may sound a stupid question, but I recently got at the entrance of range Inspiron 13, 5000 series (i3, 4 GB of Ram). I want to upgrade the memory because it is a bit slow. Site of Dell, said that this model has only a single Ram slot. I said he made two. I am a clumsy oaf and don't want to open the case unnecessarily (and break these clumsy little clicky "lips"). Can someone tell me if there is a crack or two?

    I ask because, if there is just one, I'm going to 16, if it's two, I'll go for a 8 make a total of 12.

    See you soon,.

    If it is an Inspiron 5368 (more recent 2-in-1 from Aug 2016), it will take up to two 8 G DDR4 SODIMM, total g 16.

    There are other models of this series with different memory configurations, so check that yours is a 5368 before purchasing memory:

  • New laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 5000 series) with really bad internet

    Hi, I bought a couple of new portable weeks. the laptop as you can tell by the title is a dell inspiron 14 5000 series. It includes the pilot is an Intel processor dual band wireless - 3160 AC. The problem I have is that the internet is very slow. I get 1 Mbps when I'm in my room, but when I stand right next to the router, I get my normal Mbps which is 20 Mbps. I did some research on the resolution of this issue and the most common responses I got of to get a wired connection (if I do that, I might as well have a pc) and download the new driver (2 x 2). I also changed my HT Mode for people with reduced mobility that works, but the internet connection is really bad (5 Mbps). Now my action is to obtain a new driver, but just to be sure there is a way to fix my internet connection?

    I know this isn't the internet from the internet on the other laptops work perfectly fine. And I'll be back on the laptop but unfortunately my 2 weeks are up.

    Return the machine if you can.

    The problem you are having is a common feature of this series of machines from Dell. Dell staff does not recognize the problem and no solution is guaranteed. Just search the forum for yourself.

    Have you thought about asking on a forum of Dell? You can get better answers.

    In the meantime, I would recommend a virus scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware. And if you provide a list of programs on your system, we might be able to give recommendations on what you can safely remove.

    More RAM might help. Go to Crucial.com and run their upgrade analysis tool. Who will tell if they have compatible memory and give you some suggested upgrade configurations.

  • echo Dell inspiron 15 5000 helmet

    I got a dell inspiron 15 5000 with windows 10 because I liked my last inspiron, but im having audio problems with headphones. I tried the headphones on my tv, xbox, playstation, phone and they its great. But when I plug them into my new inspiron I get this light echo in the back and it's music, movies, and almost anything sound terrible. I even tried different helmet and nothing works. someone knows how to fix this?

    Solved. At least for my system:

    On Windows 8.1 and 10, all the sound elements had an annoying "echo" that drove me crazy. Echo took place after about 20 ms and all software, including the audio test are in

    ' Configure the control panel-> hardware and sound-> Sound-> speakers / Headphones->-> Test ".

    This was the test that I used to determine if the problem has been resolved.

    SOLUTION

    In the notifications area (on the right side of the taskbar), find the setting "audio Dell." It should look like this:

    Right click on this icon and select "Sound manager". There should be a setting under 'MaxxAudio Pro' called 'development of speaker. If you're like me, this will be set to 'On '.

    Turn it off! (Or, if you wish, fooling around with it for a bit first. There are some pretty interesting settings here.)

    I hope this has solved your problem!

  • Video strategy for Inspiron 15 5000 - need Insight

    I have a fairly new Dell Inspiron 15 5000. It has two 'cards' video; is a better term "graphics cards". One an AMD Radeon R5 M335 [graphics card], the other is an Intel(r) HD Graphics 520 [graphics card].

    Both can be configured in a pop-up Windows 10 that appear on the display screen.

    I have check the documentation and found no information about the use of this material. I would appreciate an idea on how best to use them. And, where to find details of how, when they work.

    I know this sounds like a very basic question... is, but I would like to get more insight is now better to use.

    Thanks a lot, a lot for any help.

    It is a hybrid video system - the GPU from Intel is still active;  the AMD GPU can be configured using the menu that you noted in the surge in video performance in games and other applications.  She, of course, also will significantly reduce your battery life - so use it when needed, leaving idle when it is not.

    You can choose to enable the AMD GPU on a per application basis.

  • Dell Inspiron 15 5000 came with Dell Webcam Central.

    My Inspiron 15 5000 came with Dell Webcam Central preinstalled as it should. I checked my Dell downloads, but it is not there on the list of downloadable software.

    Anyone know how can I get Webcam Central?

    Thank you.

    Hi mm132,

    If you have recently purchased the system and assuming it came with windows 10. The camera in the startmenu application is a substitute for the central webcam, except if specified in the order. If the Native windows application does not all the functions of the Central webcam, it's the native application in windows 10

  • After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...

    After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) restart you device.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

  • Input series table 2D Element replacement and re - initialize the problem

    I have a project with data from a microcontroller PIC18f is the streaming of data via USB.  Incoming data in LabVIEW are delineated in a way and replaces a line in a table of data of 9 x 6.

    The issue I'm having is that every line I want to update, updates correctly, but all other lines re - initialize to zero where I like to keep all previous data in the other lines in addition to the line newly updated. The reason why I update to each line, it is that the serial data from my microcontroller have a max buffer size it broadcasts in LabVIEW with certain delimiters that will recognize for each row/column and update the data in the corresponding cell of the program in LabVIEW (but he does by deleting also all other entries which is not what I want!).

    I use the registers at offset and the problem still persists.  Attached is my code and to emulate my series string driveway, I copied and pasted my data series are lower.  So all he must do is to change between the different channels in the "chain Indicator (display Hex) of entry that the program is running.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you
