    Hi, my sister whos in college right now, ordered and received her Vostro 1400 few days ago and she said her wireless has problem. She said that her internet disconnects a lot and she has to reconnect again and again. I want to know if this is a system problem. The wireless card on the Vostro 1400 is
    Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini Card. Anyone else who owns a Vostro 1400 having problems with their wireless connections??

    I need immediate help! Thank You

    I'm not having continuous disconnects, but my 1390 does take a long time to reconnect after I've come out of sleep, around 20-30 seconds at times, but once it's connected it's completely stable.

    I find the windows wireless to be better HOWEVER. Dell's is quite useful for networking and seeing who's on your network :D
