Limited Wireless Internet Access

I have recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 15R running Windows 7. I repeatedly lose my wireless connection. The connectivity icon on the task bar shows limited access despite the connection showing full strength. When I diagnose the problem the system resets the WiFi adapator and shows that the default gateway was not available. The problem is fixed for 5 to 10 minutes and then happens again. Other computers in my home do not have this problem.

    MaureenLee,

    Try these tweaks....

    Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your network adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.

     

    Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.
