Hi to all in the forum,
My Laptop is a Dell Precision M4400 and my Network adapter is the 1397 wlan mini-card.
My problem is related with wireless connection at my work, the internet is constantly going down, the signal is OK, I’m connect to the network, but the internet is not available. I’m running WIN 7 Enterprise Service pack 1.
Every time that I make a diagnose I get this as answer: “The default gateway is not available”
Already goggling about this, it seems to be a common problem with WIN 7 and Dell but no solution.
Could you guys help me?
Thanks in advance.
Ismael
Ismael,
When you installed Windows, did you install the drivers in the correct order? How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Start, control panel, device manager, network, double click on Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Half Mini Card, advanced.
Look for antenna diversity. Change the antenna diversity from auto to Aux.

Hi Nick,
I download the drivers from the dell web page using my service tag and installed one by one.
I already try the antenna diversity, but didn’t work.
Regards.
Download the System Information Tool If using Vista/Windows 7, the tool needs extracted. Once extracted, right click on sysinfo and run as administrator.
If using XP, double click on the tool, then double click on sysinfo.
Allow this past your virus program and post the information back here.
Hi Rick,

Thanks.

Hi, I am having the same problem, should I post my system info as well, please? It has become a nightmare with my wifi.
This drivers are not compatible with WIN7 x64. Could you send'me the links for WIN7 x64.
Try THESE DRIVERS.
BoldJohn,
If you could make a new thread and provide this information, and include what your issue is.
The drivers link is only for Dell Wireless 1397, 1510 Half MiniCard. Should and uninstall the existing one?
Try thise drivers and see if they work.
Do you own and 2.4GHz cordless phones?
What type of seucrity are you using in your wireless router? What channel? Make and model of your wireless router?
Rick,
the driver didn't work.
the security is WPA-TKIP channel 7 and model is wireless AP cisco Aironet 1100.
Try channel 11.
Sorry for the lasted reply. I'm not router administrator, I cannot change the channel. We are about 30 people working with this router, and I'm the only with problems...
