Sup guys,
Recently I installed Fios in my home. The installation went great. I was able to connect my iMac via Ethernet and my iPad, iPhone, iTouch and XBOX wirelessly using the Fios router without any problems. However, for some reason I cannot get my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop to connect through my wifi. I called Fios technical support and was on the line with them for nearly an hour. The agent was very patient trying to diagnose and troubleshoot the problem. He also got his Supervisor involved. Unfortunately, was unsuccessful in connecting my laptop to my wifi. Ultimately he determined because I was able to have my other peripheals connect to my wifi, the issue lies with the laptop. I have spent several hours on google trying to find some resolution but have been unsuccessful in doing so. My Dell Inspiron came equipped with a wifi link 5100 mini card and runs off of Windows XP 32b bit. It should also be noted that i did not have this problem when I had optimum online internet running of a DLink N Router previously. I tried resetting the router, clearing the previous network on the Wireless tab, updating the drivers and made sure the wifi button on the laptop is turned on.
Can anyone offer me some assistance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
