You should be able to replace the wireless card on your laptop. Older home will likely have inferior performance. Disadvantage is that performance varies depending on how good your electricity circuit is. The advantage of Powerline Networking is that it is mobile while retaining all the benefits of Etherent (consistent performance and full-duplex). Router > Ethernet > Powerline Adapter #1 (basement) > Powerline Adapter #2 (2nd floor) > Ethernet > Laptop You plug one end to plugs near Router (which you connect a small Ethernet cable in between), while the other close to your laptop. It basically uses your power plug circuits for majority of Ethernet cable's length. If the WiFi card itself burned out, then it shouldn't be detecting any networks at all, correct? It is detecting my network, and all other nearby networks, so it can't be completely broken.Ĭlick to expand.Actually, have you ever considered Powerline Networking (Ethernet over Powerline)? This is a compromise between Wireless and Ethernet.

My WiFi card use to connect to the network, full bars and everything, no problem. I've had to rely on this crappy Linksys WiFi adapter, which has a weak signal to my network from my room, and it cuts out every once in a while. So, not a whole lot I can do there.ĭoes anyone have any clue as to what the problem is?
#Intel r wifi link 5100 agn driver ap mode drivers
When I tried installing the latest drivers from Intel's website and Dell's website, Intel's tells me it's not compatible with my system(?), while Dell's says I'm up-to-date, and cancels the update. I've tried updating the drivers to my WiFi card, but Device Manager tells me I have the most up-to-date drivers. And it's wired into the motherboard, so I can't just take it out and replace it. So, clearly, it's a problem with the wireless adapter, which is my WiFi card. All other devices ( other laptops/computers, iPhones, iPods, 3/DS', etc.), connect to the network, just fine. (Connect, time passes, permanently disconnect).Įvery time I try connecting to my network after that, it keeps telling me "Windows was unable to connect to *network*", and the Network Diagnostic tells me, "Problem with wireless adapter or access point".
Of course, if I restart the laptop, it will do the same thing. Sometimes 30 min., sometimes 3 hours), my WiFi card disconnects, and no matter what I do (restart the router, restart the modem, disable the security on the router, etc.), my laptop will not ever reconnect back to the network. But, maybe 30 minutes later (This actually varies. I've had this laptop for about 4 years now, and about 1 week ago, I started having this problem.Įvery time I turn on my computer, I connect to my network with no problem. I have an Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN WiFi card in my laptop.
Alright, I'm just going to cut to the chase:
