Remember, communication between a system and a router is a two-way street and both sides need to have compatible software.
Different cards use different chipsets, and drivers, so it may simply be a case of updating the software in the router to work with the software and wireless card in the system.

What model of Dell Inspiron are you using to try to connect to that Negear router? What wireless card is in the laptop and what version of the driver is currently installed on the system?Īs a general suggestion, since I don't know which model or card you're using, I would suggest updating the firmware on the router. That has the highest chance of finding a compatible driver.

Or let Windows Update search for, and download, a driver.

If not, then remove all the ethernet drivers from your system, reboot, and see if Windows 10 has any innate drivers that may work. See if one or both of those changes help. I would also say that updating the firmware on that router would be your next step. if you have the 32-bit version installed then simply change the OS dropdown list near the top of that page )) ((NOTE: The link I provided is for the 64-bit version of Windows 10. Not sure how much help I can give you since I don't know what system you have and whether it's considered Win10 compatible, but here is the link to the Windows 10 driver for the Intel 1217-V ethernet cards. Windows 10 won't recognise the router exists over the Ethernet connection, but it does work with a wifi dongle.Īdding this to assist, as I don't expect Dell to resolve my problem. Has anyone experienced this sort of behavior before? I'm speculating here, but I suspect the device is overheating and must cool down before being functional again.Īnother interesting tidbit is that I experience this exact same behavior with a Netgear R7000P that was purchased from a completely different person and uses a different power adapter.I don't have a Dell, but I am having a similar problem with a Netgear WNDR4500 v1 router and an Intel I217-V ethernet adapter. I do not know the history of this device as I purchased it from somebody else who I no longer have contact with. I must let the device sit powered off for some long period of time (at least an hour or two) in order for it to function again. ) or Kongs dd-wrt build ( ) will not get the router back into a functional state.

It's worth noting that an "nvram erase" (via internal serial port pins) and reflashing firmware either stock (. After a few hours (and no other resets, tinkering, etc) with the device powered off, I can get the device back into a completely functional state. When it gets into this non-functional state, I typically have to unplug the power cable from it, and let it stay powered off for a few hours. Router continues to broadcast SSID, but no devices are able to connect via WiFi.Router stops broadcasting SSID, but both the 5Ghz and 2.4GHz LEDs are illuminated.Router automatically reboots (without instruction from me) and the WiFi radios fail to start back up (SSID never broadcast).When I say it stops functioning, that can mean one of the following symptoms: An interesting observation I've noticed with a R8500 that I have is that it will boot and function completely normally for roughly 15 minutes to 1 hour before it decides to stop functioning.
