| | WiFi - No Connections Hi... A brief description what I was doing to get into this situation. I've a Dell Studio 1555 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, it's installed with a Dell Wireless mini card 1397 which I've been trying to change to an Intel 533AN_HMW ( type N ) which I was unable to get it to work. Swopping between the 2 cards wasn't a problem until I removed all the wireless applications, Dell & Broadcom, whilst trying to get the new card working, thinking it shouldn't be a problem because I had all the original drivers. Now after changing back to the original Dell card I now cannot get that to work, Windows 7 has identified the card & installed 'Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card' driver, but there are no wireless connections visible.
Any further help greatly appreciated. Thanks Mick |

| | You need to go to dell website and download driver for your adapter and possibly broadcom. The dell site lets you enter your system details to search for drivers. Download drivers from other computer if you can and transfer to the dell. Hope this works, |

| | Thanks for the suggestion but I've already tried several different drivers Broadcom & Dell none seem the change the symptoms... The only other thing I can think of trying is reload Windows 7 but wanted to explore all other options first. |

| | Hi... None of the above guides have helped I'm still unable to enable the wireless connection even though device manager is showing the adapter as enabled... I've attached screen shot to show what i mean.  |

| | Further update - I've just installed a Belkin usb wifi adapter - this has installed OK & the wireless connection shows as 'enabled'. The indicator on the adapter is flashing so seems to be working but there are no wireless connections available. Just for clarification I can connected to my router via the smart-phone & can see my neighbors routers. Is there something in windows stopping the connections ? |

| | Thanks for the further input, I've already tried the settings but made no difference. Looks as though 's a re-install of Windows 7. |
