Laptop WiFi Problems

Author: PC Dude | Posted in the "PC Software" Category

My brother in law Tony got Eircom broadband in recently but it wouldn’t let him go online on the laptop wirelessly. Eircom support couldn’t help but after a bit of messing around I found that there were 2 different software programs trying to configure his wireless access and clashing with each other, the default windows one and the on board Dell one. What I done was went into the settings of the Dell program and unticked, “Let this program manage my wireless connection” (or something to that effect). Then I made sure the Windows Wireless software service was started properly and set to start automatically. You can do this in Start – Administrative Tools – Services.
