Inspiron sees the wifi connection, but doesn't connect - I tried everything

Dell Inspiron 1545 used to successfully connect to the Wireless - is not now.
It can detect the wireless avialable link, but not connect to it.
Nothing has been changed before the top of what is happening.

The router itself is fine and other devices connect to it without problem.
The laptop connects with the ethernet cable plugged in fine.

I have tried the following to the correct question:

* Full re - install Windows 7 / Windows complete update
* Re-install the drivers from the dell site.
* Reset the router to the factory settings
* IP Config renew / empty dns etc... etc...
* Laptop does not connect to other wifi
* Uninstalled antivirus / Firewall etc...

Could it be a hardware failure?

Really appriciate help - lost about 4 hours on it.

I can't yet quite understand what that has increased with the old card and were like a dog with a BONE with him for three nights now - sometimes you have I have to let go and today I got a replacement £1.20 on ebay wifi card

Plugged in and it works the first time!

Thanks for your help anyway Rick, it is most appreciated

    Hi, Kristian

    If your Apple Watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but it is within range of a WiFi (2.4 GHz) network your iPhone plugged in the front (while it was connected to your watch via Bluetooth), then your watch can connect to this network and still offer some features:

    To check the status of the connection of your watch, go to the eye of parameters:

    • When displaying the time on your watch, slide up on the screen, then swipe left / right for the look of parameters.
    • This will specify connected or disconnected:
      • If it says connected and the icon in the upper right corner is a green phone, your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
      • If it says connected, the icon is a green cloud, then your watch is disconnected from your iPhone via Bluetooth, but rather connected (as a backup) to a known Wi - Fi network.
      • If it is disconnected, your watch is disconnected from your iPhone and also is not connected to a Wi - Fi network. The icon in the upper right corner will be a red telephone with a line through it.
    • Slide down again to return to the watch face.

    To test whether your watch is currently able to connect to a Wi - Fi compatible network known as a relief:

    • When within range of the network, turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone.
    • After pausing for a short time, check the status of the connection of your watch as described above.

  • FP 6700: Hp 6700 loses the wifi connection

    Guard 10 Windows printer Hp 6700 lose the wifi connection that requires powering off the coast of the printer running and the cable/modem.  I tried the suggestion given in the forum, but does not solve the problem. The printer is located in 2 feet of cable/modem D5001 model pace and I have the latest software and firmware installed.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Move the 6700 further pace or connect an ethernet cable to the rhythm of the 6700.

  • ConnectionFactory cannot create the WiFi connection

    I tried this code example, and it returns null ConnectionDescriptor when I only have the wifi connection:

    cf = new ConnectionFactory();
    cf.setPreferredTransportTypes(new int[]{
        TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_WIFI,
        TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_CELLULAR,
        TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_WAP,
        TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_WAP2,
        TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_MDS,
        TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_BIS_B
    });
    cf.setAttemptsLimit(2);
    cf.setConnectionTimeout(10000);
    ConnectionDescriptor descr = cf.getConnection("http://www.google.com");
    StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
    if(descr == null){
        buff.append("no descriptor");
    }else{
        buff.append(descr.getTransportDescriptor().getTransportType() + ";" + descr.getUrl());
        try {
        descr.getConnection().close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("===>conn close error:" + e.getMessage() + ";" + e.getClass().getName());
        }
    }
    

    I tested with the mobile network and it works well and returns the connection descriptor non-zero but when I try with the wifi only and always returns null.

    I tried to access Google.com on the bb browser and it opens.

    However, the connection is slow and it loads for a while before opening google. Is this the reason why I get null handle or its something else?

    Well I solved it.

    It turned out that I had activated the VPN profile to the wifi network. When I disable the code works ok.

    But this raises the question why can't make a connection http via wifi with active VPN profile. I can always open google.com in the browser.

    I'll make a new thread for this question.

    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).

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

  • Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    WiFi connections are losing their strength increases the distance between the router and so as a general rule, there are some conflicting objects

    Try the following steps please

    The following actions and after each test to see if the issue is resolved - if yes, then you can omit the following steps - I tried to list them in ascending order of the effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

    1. Check if the problem is related to a single device and if other devices connect normally-
    2. If the answer 1 is 'yes' - try to connect the device assigned to somewhere else if possible - coffee or the University
    3. Perform a forced - restart cela do not delete or purge all data and allows to solve many problems - here is how - press and hold the Off / On Home button and at the same time for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal startup upward.
    4. Settings - WiFi - < network name > - Click on forget network - do a restart forced according to 3 and then add again the network
    5. If home - reboot the router by unplugging it for 60 seconds (power) and the plug and reconnect - obviously, this step can be done in a public place like a cafe or airport or University. While you're there - make sure your router is working on the latest firmware (check manufacturer's website)
    6. Settings - general - reset - Reset network settings - remember to have very practical WiFi passwords because it erases the WiFi passwords
    7. If it is a new specific net device in your home - make sure that the router gives enough DNS for all numbers which must / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for more details on this so not sure option
    8. Backup the device to iTunes - restore as NEW (no) - see if solves problem - if yes - restore backup
    9. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.
  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 9300 - how to prioritize between the Wifi connection and the carrier?

    Hi all, I have a question... How do we place on our BB unit to plug into a wireless network from first (if available) to browse and not them connected to the internet all the stuff instead of using our carrier, then at home or at work?

    There are no parameters for this on most devices, the WiFi connection will ALWAYS be priority for communication of data via the connection to the mobile network.

    Some rare machines with capacities AMU have an Option to set this priority. UMA is a service of only a few mobile providers like Tmobile.

    buy the full subscription, but still in trial version, tried the solutions provided online but I couldn't find option disable/disconnect option by clicking on help in the application manager... I even tried uninstalling the Creative Manager of cloud and applications, reinstall and re-sign-in but still can't find the option to click on...

    It's not 'install' under 'find new applications' law yesterday before I paid for membership, I understand, the system needs time...

    I have check the application manager and I saw the difference today, but the buttons under "installed apps" has not changed, the expiry date is always there!

    and... I have to install everything in the evaluation mode! It drove me nuts to read online instructions on how to solve this problem, because I couldn't see the options that are supposed to be there that I followed the steps...

    I use a Mac Pro with OS. 10.9.5 X... Help!

    This issue occurs because of the connectivity problem. (You can see the steps from here: sign activation, or connection errors |) CS5.5 and later)

    1. In a Finder window, choose go > go to folder.
    2. Type / etc.
    3. Select the hosts file and open it.
    4. Save the hosts file: choose file > record under, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
    5. Look for the hosts file for entries referencing activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    6. Save and close the file.

    Once you remove all the entries in the hosts file 127.0.0.1 followed Adobe.

    Hello

    I use M400 laptop computer series that I bought in 2005 and do not know if the guarantee was already finsihed, although I paid extra for an extended warranty.
    You should check a second time.

    My wireless connection was working fine with my conection DSL broadband 2 years ago, I was using router Netgear wireless. In the last 2 years that I did not use wirless conection, recently I bought Thomson TG585 router to my ADSL connection wireless broadband. This wireless router works fine with my other Mac desktop computer but my laptop is not browse a Web page if it says connected with WiFi router.

    I went through all the settings and even I have discussed this question with the technical team bradband and say there is problem with my computer laptop bcz Mac Desktop works fine.

    I checked in the wireless troubleshooting setting and still not able to solve this problem.
    I use KesperKey Internet Security and I tried to turn it off for the test connection wireless but always face same problem.

    I wonder if anyone can help me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Disable all the security settings on your router and then try to connect the M400 protected wireless.
    If you will be able to connect to the WLan and will be able to navigate a few s webpage you could activate step by step all the security settings such as encryption of WLan, Mac address filtering, SSID hidden, etc.

    By the way; Have you tried to update the driver WLan?
