Hello~
I've been having a problem for a while now that I cannot seem to fix, and am fairly sure I caused at some point messing with services.msc
Anyway, my laptop, an Inspiron 1520 laptop with a 1390 WLAN wireless card will not connect well with any router. It will connect with a signal strength relative to the distance from the router physically, but it will always be a speed of 1 mbps, leaving me unable to open any web page or AIM or what not.
I've updated my wireless card drivers and I've been moved from my campus to one house for a week, to another two houses in the span of a day, and two more houses after that. So I've had a significant test base on this.
While everyone else's laptops have functioning wireless, mine does not.
I have tried changing router channels and messed with other router settings, but I have to assume the problem is on MY end, since it's localized to my laptop among all of the locations I've been.
I've tried turning off my firewall, which hasn't fixed anything of course.
Tried turning off WZC and using the Dell wireless manager, tried the opposite. Neither works.
I've tried an enormous amount to fix the problem, scouring google for days, but the only way I can connect to the internet is via a physical ethernet connection(which is fast and wonderful in nearly all cases).
If you need any other pertinent data, I can supply it.
I'm not horribly tech savvy, but I'm also not awful with my laptop(to the point that I've been messing with services.msc without too much fear)
Any suggestions on my end aside from an old/faulty wireless card?
Thank you
