Hi rajeevlochan

Please check in safe mode with networking if you are able to go online.

To check in safe mode with networking follow the below steps:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. Keep tapping F8 on the Dell Logo Screen.
  3. Once the computer enters Advanced Boot Option, select Safe Mode with Networking.
  4. Press Enter.

Check if the computer is able to go online wirelessly in safe mode with networking.

If you are able to go online using the wireless network in safe mode with networking reboot the computer normally and run MS fixit. Use the below link

Link: http://bit.ly/HPsyBy

Click the link above and select Run now.

If you are unable to go online in Safe mode with networking, try Power cycling the modem by removing the Ethernet cable from the modem. Reconnect the Ethernet cable and check the internet connection.

Check in Device Manager if there are any alerts on the Network Adapters.

Procedure to navigate to device manager:

  1. Click “start”.
  2. Type “Device Manager” in the search box.
  3. Select “Device Manager “in the list.
  4. Click the “Network Adapters”.

If there are any alerts, install the Network card drivers from the Resource Dvd which was shipped along with the computer. If you do not have the disk use the link below to install the network card and wireless drivers update for the computer.

  1. Visit the following website: http://dell.to/Mbe3zg
  2. Enter the Service tag of the computer in the box provided and click “Submit”.
  3. In the next page, click drop down arrow to select the Operating System which is installed in the computer.
  4. Under category Network, select the wireless network drivers accordingly and click “Download File” and save the file on desktop.
  5. Run the downloaded file and restart the system.
  6. Try connecting to the wireless network.

I have also provided a link below for the wireless issues :http://dell.to/ZKyq8W

Please reply with results.

First option is not working. And for second one I am not finding Transmit Power and Roaming Aggressiveness options in Network Adapter properties. I am using Windows 7 Home Basic, please consider.

Please help, as I am totally annoyed by this problem.

Hi Nikhil,

I ran MS Fixit and my laptop is working fine now. But it did not get any issues in wireless. I will check my system for sometime and then if again problem comes then I have to go for Dell Support.

But for now, Thanks a lot............. :)
