m11x-R1 can't connect wireless

This randomly happens where I can't connect to a wireless network. I have it enabled, and even if the connection is "Excellent", it just says "unable to connect to network".

Anyone else have this problem? My wireless randomly does this when I bring my laptop into a different house. For example, my wireless connected fine two weeks ago while at my parents visiting. I go back to my place and it works fine, but when I'm back here at my parents, it's not connecting. I tried deleting the network settings that were saved, restarting router/modem, and all that other stuff.

Help!

 

have you updated your driver to the most recent?

The 1520 has been having problems often of all sorts. Usually its a weak signal and crashing with massive transfers.

Best bet is to check out the driver

 

drivers for my wireless card? where can I get the updated ones?g

I updated my bios to A05 just a while ago and that didn't fix anything.

 

Uhm if your problem is similar to mine your going to kick yourself. I was copying or sharing something over my wireless adapter and specified an IP address for my wireless card. I tried connecting to our university wireless network and I also got the unable to connect message. I changed my IP back to detect automatically and it works now.

Hope this helps.

 

try support.dell.com

enter your service tag and it can list the drivers for you, wireless card is the 1520 something

 

Yeah I tried dloading the driver but it just dloads the "Dell Driver Download Manager" and does absolutely nothing. Anywhere else I can get this driver? Can someone try dloading it from the dell site because it's giving me a different file.

This is probably the reason you can't connect.
