John Fraone,   Try these tweaks... Go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag number, then select your operating system. Under Network, download and install the latest drivers. Try these tweaks.... Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your wireless adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power. Click on advanced. Look for antenna diversity. Change it from Auto to Aux Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance. [IMAGE]   Rick
I am having a problem with my Inspiron 1525.  This problem started before the holidays.  Prior to that, I was good for the last 3 years.  It connects to my home wifi network, but doesn't connect to the internet. I have another computer, ipod, and cell phones that all connect to the Wifi Network with no problems.  When I take my laptop outside of my home, I have no problems connecting wirelessly to another network.  I have tried resetting the router (numerous times) and disconnecting from my network and reconnecting, but it doesn't help.  When I am able to connect (for about 1 minute), I knock all other devices off the network.  The Wireless Card is working properly and driver is up to date. I am currently running Windows Vista and my Router is a DLink 615 N300.  I have purchased a new Router and same problem so I returned it.  I do not have McAfee so the new update is not the issue.    Please help!!! FYI, I know a bit about computers but an not advanced so I may need a little guidance. Thanks in advance
