Dell Inspiron 1558 - Intel wifi technology : Adapter not found

Jayeshs,

Did you recently install/reinstall the operating system?

Rick

Hi Rick,

Thank you for replying, I hope the information provided is what you were looking for. I did not do anything with the operating system. I tried so many options to fix this problem, but non worked. I just noticed now that  for some reason its been over 20 minutes and the network adapter has not disappeared, I will test the wifi and let you know if there is a problem again.

Regards,

Jay

Jay,

Start, control panel, network and sharing center, click on your connection, properties.

Look for TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 and click on properties for each. Have your settings match mine.

If you still lose the connection, can you connect and stay connected in the same room as the router? Try another room?

I would suggest if the issue remains, please run Network Interface and post the results back here.

Rick
