Wifi connection problem in Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop

Hi metabrez

Welcome to the Community.

Please locate the network indicator on the system tray. When you click on the Network indicator icon you will see the list of possible Wifi connections  that are in range. Right click  on your default Wifi connection and choose Properties.

Under the Connection tab, Check the one that says "Connect automatically when this network is in range." Then click the OK button to finalize it.

Kindly reply with the results.

Actually,My Dell laptop is showing  the network.But It is having wifi connection problem.I have already clicked on automatically connect in my laptop.Every time it says that turn off your router and again turn on.or Either see plugs installed coreectly or not.

If I again turn off and turn on the router  then connection is taking automatically and working fine.But every time I have to turn of the my router whereas in other laptop no need to turn off the router and working fine.Why there is this wifi connection problem?please,give me the solution so that I neednt turn off the router everytime when ever I start my laptop.

Restart the computer and try to connect.

metabrez,

What virus program and firewall are you using?

Is you computer under warranty?

Try reading...

Intel® WiFi Products — Power Save Polling (PSP) causes connection issues with some access points

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Create a Power Plan

Select High performance.

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

While you in the device manager, look to see if this adapter has Antenna Diversity. Some adapters have this and some don't. If your adapter has Antenna Diversity, try changing it from Auto to Aux. Can you please let me know if this adapter has antenna diversity(Thanks)

Rick

I couldnt understand Antenna Diversity.Will please tell me where should i see this?My laptop is still having wifi connection problem.Please rectify it.

metabrez,

Antenna Diversity is not an option on some adapters.

What type of security are you using in your wireless router?

Can you try removing McAfee to see if the connection woprks? You'll need to use the McAfee Removal Tool

Can you also run another ipconfig /all log and post it back here.

Rick

metabrez,

Go to Drivers & Downloads enter the service tag for the N5110 or you can select Laptop, Inspiron, then Inspiron 15R N5110

Under network, download the drivers for the Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030. When you click to download, the drivers may look like they're for another adapter. Download them and save them to the desktop.

Make a system restore point.

Start, control panel, device manager, network, right click on Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030 adapter, left click uninstall. Tell it to remove the drivers and software.

Restart your computer. When you log back in to an unrestricted account, the new hardware wizard will try to install the drivers. If the drivers do not install(check device manager first), then install the drivers that were saved to the desktop.
