Mikie19598,

Go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag number, then select your operating system. Under Network, download and install the latest drivers.

Try these tweaks....

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.

Click on Advanced. Look for Antenna Diversity. Chnage Antenna Diversity from Auto to Aux

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

If these tweaks do not work, then please run Network Interface and post that information back here.

Rick

Mikie19598,

I would suggest How to login to your wireless router I would first try changing the security from WPA2-Personal to WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security(Personal)

I use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings and I use channel 11. There may be something the the recommended settings that will help.

If you're having problems when you're leaving the room, I would suggest checking the antenna wireless on the wireless adapter. Page 31 in the Dell Inspiron 14(1440) Manual explains how to check the antenna wires.

Rick

now there was at one time i accidentally pulled one of the end's of the antenna wire completely off but i was able to crimp it back on but i will look into trying to replace both antenna wires and see if that helps thank you very much for your help.

I also have another question i have this laptop set to go to sleep mode when you close the lid but it doen't go to sleep mode when you close the lid i have checked the magnet in the lid its very strong so my only thought is the sensor in the motherboard that controles that is shot or bad.

Hello,

When I switch on my Dell Inspiron, following message comes from Driver Detective. Secondly My WiFi works well but when I gonna download some thing or when I talk on skype after some time it goes dissconnected.
