stalkee,   Download the Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, Centrino Advanced-N 6200, Centrino Wireless-N 1000, v.13.2.1.5, A01 drivers and save them to your desktop.   Make a system rstore point.   Start, control panel, device manager, right click on Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN, left click uninstall. Tell it to remove the drivers and software.   Restart your computer.   When you log back in, the new hardware wizard will try to install the drivers but fail. Install the drivers saved to your desktop.   Try to connect. What happens?   If you cannot connect, go to a hotspot in your area and try to connect. Can you connect?     Rick                                                        
Hello all. I can not connect to the internet either by WiFi or ethernet connection on my XPS L501X 64bit running Windows 7. This problem suddenly occurred after a failed microsoft update. The Action Centre lists a number of problems including; Host Process for Windows Services........................................Windows Update installation problem Microsoft Malware Protection Command Line Utility (3).......Mp Telemetry Microsoft Management Console...............................................Stopped working Network Diagnostics Framework (4).......................................Unable to diagnose/repair problems Windows Wireless Lan 802.11 Extensibility Framework....Stopped working I can copy the technical details to Notepad and send them if this would be useful in determining the problem and finding a solution. Of course, with no internet connection, I have been unable to report the problems, check for solutions or run any online diagnostics and am using another laptop to communicate. I have downloaded and installed the latest WiFi adaptor (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000) and driver to no avail. I used the Intel updater wizard thingy which uninstalled the old adaptor and installed the new one. I have not updated the Realtec PCIe GBE Family Controller driver, but when I click on update driver, it indicates the the latest driver is installed. All devices are listed as working properly. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
