    Hey everyone,

    Just got my Studio 1555 today, and am really enjoying it. However, when I try to connect through wireless N, it fails everytime. I have a Linksys WRT600N Dual Band Router. I have the 5ghz band set to Wireless-N only, but it still fails to connect. I've triple checked all the settings, password, WPA (manually set the connection) but Windows says it's unable to identify the problem.

    On the other band of the router, it is running mixed Wireless b/g and I can connect to that no problem. I've had this router for awhile but have never used wireless N on it (I don't have any other devices capable of it).

    Here's a screenshot of my router settings:

    Thanks in advance for any and all help!

    *Edit*

    Just tried Wireless-N only on the 2.4ghz band and it gives the same error... I'm running Windows 7 but it was doing the same thing in Windows Vista.

    Enable WPA2 AES and TKIP. That did it for my Dlink DIR 615!

    ps I am using an Intel 5100 AGN.

    No luck so far. I even tried connecting with NO security. It refuses to connect to anything with Wireless N....

    Just tried dell technical support. They told me it's software related and I'd have to call "dell on call" and pay a fee to have it resolved. I literally just got this laptop today, and paid extra for a 3 year warranty... This isn't fair!? Any and all help is appreciated..
