Updated Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card Worse Connect
Dec 15, 2012
I currently use drivers from 2008:Driver Version 4.176.75.21 - 10/1/2008 for my Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card.Whenever I run Microsoft Update it tells me to upgrade to the latest drivers, however, with the newest drivers I experience a SIGNIFICANT drop in throughput- something like from 108 mbps with my current setup to 1-15 mbps with the "updated" drivers.I'd like to have the most up to date driver, but do not want to limit my Wifi bandwidth either.

I've got a handful of Dell laptops that recently stopped reconnecting to a wireless network after being on the lan. WLAN shows connected, but can't reconnect until we do a IP refresh. Some machines are running Dell WLAN cards and another is running Intel card. Can't seem to nail down the problem. One user mentioned she was having this problem after MS updates so wondering if a patch/hot fix is jacking up these machines. To add salt to the wound, I brought my Dell Inpiron 1420 home today...plugged in the network cable..did some work, then decided to move to the couch.

And as a result my wireless will not work. I just don't get it. The Vista drivers won't work, the optional Windows Update that would install the proper driver won't work, nothing works. What am I to do?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop and stuck windows 7 RTM 32 bit on it. All was well but now connecting wirelessly is slow. Like slower then 56k modem slow. I have a Dell 802.11n wireless mini card installed that works PERFECTLY under windows XP. I was getting 80 % signal strength under Win 7 and getting 1 mbps where as in XP I was getting 78 to 100 mbps with the same signal strength. Oh and ethernet works perfectly fine.
For a time I was able to download the corresponding vista driver from dell and then replace the driver that win 7 automatically installs for it, then flipped the card switch off and on and it would work like it should for a while, but then reverted to the same slow network speeds once the laptop was reset or turned off and on. Now flipping the switch or re-installing doesn't work either. I've tried resetting the router, no go and none of my other computers or products have a problem with it. I've tried doing a few things suggested in other posts, like assigning a static ip, disabling ipv6, etc... Nothing has worked.
I'd love someone who knows what it may be or has heard of this precise problem, although I think I may be stuck waiting until Win 7 makes it debut in Oct and until Dell releases a proper 7 driver for it.
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 1520
Wireless Card: Dell brand mini draft 802.11n card
Router: DLink DGL-4500 draft 802.11n
Windows 7 32bit RTM

im upgrading my inspiron 8600 to 2 gb ram and windows 7 already installed 7. everything works fine except the wireless. the adapter from the factory is Intel P/C WM3A2100NADELL.....model WM#A2100......DELL P/N 09y200...........REV A01 the XP driver doesn't work. the dell support site only lists xp as an operating system for the 8600. this computer has been used very little and contains the Pentium M chip known to be a low heat processor, so i'm willing to warm it up a bit with windows 7. the operating system is working fine and i don't hear my fan coming on. just need a driver for the wireless. wired works fine.

I have a dell inspirion 1505. I just upgraded my Ram and my hard drive. My computer came with a 80GB hard drive, but when i tried to replace it with a new 500GB hard drive my computer still only recognizes it as a 80GB. During the windows 7 upgrade where i would normally be able to clear my new hard drive and specify my new drives it still only showed 80 GB.
i have talked to dell twice now and i get conflicting answers each time. The first person said that my computer would only support 120GB and the second said it would only support 100GB. I have a hard time believing this because my computer came with a SATA harddrive, which shouldnt limit me.. At least i thought.

I have an IBM Thinkpad T40 with Windows 7 Ultimate. I have all the updates from both Windows Update and Lenovo. Everything is working great except that I can't seem to get my wireless PC card to work still. It's a Trendnet TEW-421PC card. Windows found the driver for the card but it still doesn't work. I even downloaded the driver from Trendnet's website and installed it and it doesn't work. The "Activity" light blinks continuously and Windows detects the card but I can't seem to get it to connect to the internet. I had Windows troubleshoot it and it says there is a problem but none of the solutions seem to help. I can connect to the internet with an ethernet cable but sometimes I like to connect wirelessly.

I have a new Toshiba satellite L500 laptop with windows 7 64-bit home premium OS, I found an issue with the wireless utility where it works fine when i open the PC, but after sometime (about an hour) it stop working, i tried to use windows troubleshooter, it help me fixing the problem sometimes (saying that the solution is to enable the wireless network connection adapter) but only for a short time.
I had installed Linux Ubuntu OS on the machine, and the wireless works just fine, so the problem is something with windows 7.

I'm trying to get a new windows 7 computer to connect over WLAN, but am having a really frustrating experience. Paid a fortune for it and after 2 days I find that the manufacturer does not install WLAN unless specifically ordered. An atrocious sob and am sure will never again buy anything from them..Finally, I bought a Wireless USB to enable wireless connectivity with a driver CD etc., but the darned thing is still not working although it can now after a severe birth, "see" the networks in the locality. After running the troubleshooter, it keeps repeating that it cannot connect to the specified network!

I have a netgear wireless router upstairs. My dell laptop, my iMac (which is downstairs) and my iPad/iPhones all connect anywhere in the house. My Toshiba laptop and my work dell will not connect or it connects very intermittently. I can stay connected for days on other wifi networks, just not at home. Any ideas?

I'm having problems with my belkin wlan card on windows 7 64bit.
I have tried what seems like hundreds of different driver/method combos all to no avail.
My WLAN card is a Belkin F5d7000 E, version 1100ea.
It has an atheros AR2413A - 001 chipset.
I really can't figure out where I'm going wrong, I've tried to run in compatability mode on pretty much every setting, always ran as administrator, and am fresh out of ideas.

I have a dell inspiron laptop with an Intel PRO WLAN card inside, and it no worky anymore. not sure what happened to it, but all things software cannot get it to function - its there; the drivers are loaded [latest greatest from intel] but it cannot receive a signal.Fortunately on this laptop its easy to get to it and R/R it uses a molex connector, spring retainers, so pretty standard easy thing. which card would be best in today's market?

I recently updated from Vista to Windows 7. I installed all some of my old games (Victoria 2 and Mass Effect, to be specific) and neither works. I checked my graphics settings and according to the Device Manager I only have the "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".
I know this is wrong, I've played dozens of games on Vista and never had this problems. I've been looking around some old forums, and apparently this is quite a common problem, BUT I bought my computer 2 and 1/2 years ago and I have no recorded nor can remember what exact model my graphics card is.
I seem to be in a catch 22. I need to install a driver for my PC to recognize my graphics card, but I need to be able to know what my graphics card is in order to do that, but since my computer can't detect it in the first place, I have no idea which it is. It is all quite frustrating and I just want to be able to play my games!

Windows 7 home premium 32bit
zonealarm basic firewall
wlancard dell 1450 usb
Info: the card never had a vista or windows 7 driver. A computer skilled took out a folder from the windows xp installer. Through device manager the folder is installed as driver, and the wlan card works. I wanted to use ubuntu 'remote terminal server'.Connected via pc to pc lan cross over cable. Maybe the connection succeded because ping test was ok. But never made the
program 'remote terminal server' work. At a point zonealarm made trouble, allthough disabled. Shutting down computer worked. Error: Next time I turned on the computer, wlan didn't work. The wlan card makes the connection but there is a yellow triangle on the wifi icon in taskbar. Under network it keeps hanging, messaging 'identifying'.I tried this: Reinstalling zonealarm basic. Reinstalling wlan card folder driver. Didn't work.

I bought this Generic USB All in 1 Mini Card Reader off eBay (Some Cheap chinese thing) It worked fine on my previous setup, Windows Vista x64, and it still works on my fathers computer, Vista x64 I believe. But When I try to connect it to my current Windows 7 x64 install, it justs gives me an I/O device error, I think it might have something to do with the Device driver for Win 7 It might not be compatible, I don't know just thought somebody might have an idea if I can get it to work in Windows 7.

I am kind of being forced to hand over my Dell XPS 1530 to my mother because she messed up her laptop. (Sad... I love this laptop)
I will be getting a Dell Mini 10 as a "replacement". I installed Windows 7 on my Dell XPS 1530 and I am LOVING it like pretty much everyone else.
Basically to cut to the chase I wanted to know if Windows 7 will work on the Dell Mini 10. The Dell chat lady told me that it can only handle XP but thats makes no sense to me seeing as how the same innards are in the Mini 12 and that comes with Vista. I figure she was just telling me that because she had to.
So I am coming to you guy to see if someone can let me know if Windows 7 will function completely on the Mini 10. In order to help you guys help me out I will post the specs of the Mini 10 here...
Intel Atom Z530 (1.60GHz/533MHz FSB/512K L2Cache)
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 500
120GB SATA HDD 2.5 inch 5400RPM
2GB 533MHz DDR2 RAM
So like I said... I want to know if Windows 7 will work smoothly on the system. I want to keep Aero too because I am a stickler for aesthetics and I love the transparency. Not to mention the actually Aero functionality features are awesome as well.

Just moved to Windows 7 from XP. I have everything working - except my USB Mini SD Card reader.I have a Cyclo DS card and have been accessing the card - no problem through XP. The card is formatted as a FAT32 (as required).When I put it in with Windows 7 - it tells me that I have to format it first.The obvious solution is to copy everything using an XP installation and then format.

I bought a Mini 10 Dell netbook during the summer. I was pretty excited to see how a netbook with comparable(sightly better) computing power to my 5 year old 700m. The size and the price were nice.
I decided to go with linux b/c I had some experience with it and was somewhat fond of linux. For freeware OS, the overall price was the same. I had a lot of issues with the touch pad and the mouse buttons. Overall performance seemed lower than it should have been. I tried different distributions, but the dell distribution was the best(mediocre). I had a lot of buyers remorse and was a little mad at Dell for selling a product that maybe wasn't ready.
I saw online that Microsoft had a student discount for Windows 7 Professional. So I got that and made the necessary changes to upgrade.
So far, everything works great! The touch pad and buttons work perfect. It is now possible to click and drag stuff. Overall performance appears to be up as well. And it is, of course, visually pleasing. Flash video works a billion times better too.
I posted this for anyone that pondering trying Windows 7 on their mini 10, but might feel uneasy. It was definitely the best $29 I have ever spent. My machine is now everything I was expecting it to be before I bought it.

how to uninstall/reinstall my audio card driver. I'm using a HP Mini netbook (windows 7 starter). I use this Netbook mainly for browsing and watching netflix. I spend a lot of time in a motel. When I'm trying to watch a movie the Audio is faster than the video (The words are already spoken, but the characters haven't said them yet). I downloaded "driver detective" and it said that my Audio was out of date.
