Is DELL 1510 N WLAN Mini card compatible with W8?
I installed W8 on my Dell Studio 1735 computer. Wireless Internet access is very very slow. I have not this problem with W7 on the same computer. I tried it with an external Network cable. Very fast, 50mbps. I also tried it with an external USB Belkin wifi adaptor. It works fine. Computer has a Dell Wireless 1500 N WLAN Mini Card. Driver version:5.100.245.20 Date 2012-03-13. I cannot find any better driver.
I have one more problem that I don't have with W7. I cannot rate the computer. The Windows experience index cannot go past the test of Direct3D 10 Texture Load Assesment.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi AMRDYS, thanks for your steps, this is the list of drivers I see under the network adapter in Device manager
1.Broadcom 802.11n network adapter
2.Microsoft kernel debug network adapter
3.Realtek PCIe FE family controller
4.WAN miniport (network monitor) #2 ...with a alert symbol next to it..
now could you please tell me which one I should go ahead with the update.... (I mean the old WLAN driver)

If you install Windows 8.1 Preview, you will have to go through this driver (Broadcom v.5.100.235.12) install again, as Microsoft installs their unstable driver (v5.100.245.20) with this update.

I was beginning to suspect a nearby nuclear meltdown...this finally helped on a Dell Studio 1537, PP33L. Thanks!

I have an E6400 and with the same NIC, and I encountered the exact same thing as you did, only I was going from Win 7 to Windows 10. Your solution worked for me. Thanks, I've been fight with this since I downloaded the Win 10 preview last month and I'm so thankful to be working again!
