First I would try reinstalling the VISTA Driver Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> (note this is either a 32 bit or 64 bit driver) as most Vista drivers will work with 7 .
If that does not work I would next try uninstalling the DWU and then reinstalling the Vista driver as it might uninstall it.
You can also upgrade your card to THIS ONE, if you are running a N router or it will fall back to G if necessary
I have downloaded the Vista driver and will think about trying it later. When I turned the computer on this morning, it connected wirelessly so I'm sort of waiting to see what happens.
I did see that wireless n card yesterday but wasn't sure it was the right one. Now I have a question....it says it has WEP encryption. Does that mean it doesn't have WPA or WPA2? We're using WPA2. So if it isn't capable of that, I won't consider it. Can I find one elsewhere with WPA / WPA2 that will work? If so what do I look for to ensure it fits/works. I live in an apartment building with routers all around me. I want to be sure we're as secure as possible.
