Unable to detect wirless network

I bought a new DELL Inspiron Laptop which is unable to detect any wireless
network,while my other laptop is able detect and connect without any
problem.I have checked for the drivers and everything.Everything seems to be
alright.The what may be the problem.
Whenever I reinstall the drivers I am able to detect the network but with
very low signal strength.But when i restart the Laptop again I am unable to
detect any network.
My OS is Vista Home Premium.

New Dell laptop with wireless issues out of the box = call Dell tech support
for immediate repair/replacement.

I'd agree. I bought an HP Compaq 6720s and have had absolutely no networking
problems.

Vista Home Premium 32bit
 
 

Re: Unable to detect wirless network

If you dont feel like going through replacing the whole computer, if you use the dell online chat support, and if its necessary they will mail you a new wireless adapter overnight. You would have to open the computer, but usually they include instructions for all of that.
Just a thought to avoid waiting for them to build and ship you a new pc.
