C:\Users\girish>

my system was bought in US....... and in dw wlan utility.... default location is United States..............now i use it in India............ and i cant change the location!!

this is on my frnd's laptop......he also uses n5010

the first pic is on my laptop......even after 30 mins it doesnot recognize a wifi signal!!!

in the seond pic..... wen installed on my friends laptop the signal are detected within secs!!!

ahyeesh,

Did you try changing the settings at...

Start, control panel, region and language?

Try...

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

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

What happens?

Rick

Do you have internet access when connected via ethernet cable? . . Looks like either the wireless card is turned off or has failed.  Look for a switch to control it or a combination of FN and Fkey

the region in settings is INDIA...bt in utility it s united states .........without it detecting any network how can i change the properties of wireless connection!!

ya ..i have internet access wen conncted thru ethernet cable!! wireless caard is turned on.........if it s turned off... i could not get the dw wlan utility runnig!!
