Limited/No Connectivity

Question

I have an Inspiron 1505 with wireless n.  I have had issues with connectivilty since I recieved it.  Initially, my Linksys Wireless B router would not be found, or would only be found after numerous refreshing searches (occasionally would find it right away, however).   I have intermittent connection in which my computer card finds the router and connects, but will not let me connect to the internet.  If I connect with a wire directly to the cable moden, there is no problem.   I purchased a DLink rangebooster N router, thinking that perhaps the 'b' technology was the problem, but my Inspiron finds the router but never has connectivity to the internet.  I have uninstalled the DLink and plan to return it, but I still have 'local access' and 'limited connectivity'.   Suggestions.  BTW, I have Vista Business on the Inspiron.

I posted some info, about Vista's router compatibility, in the second to the last post of this thread ("click here")....

The last post by "sv0o" (04-11-2007 : 08:14 PM) also has more info, with a solution to his Vista problem...

You didn't include the "model" of the routers you've listed... so here's some general wireless info:

Hi,   I had the same problem, when using WPA (no problems with connectivity with open network). After installation of a new firmware version it worked.   Here I found the firmware (in German)   http://home.arcor.de/ricjan/   SteveII
