I got a big problem.
I can't activate my 5530 WWAN Card.
The software switch Fn+F2 can only turn WLAN and bluetooth on/off.
And there are no hardware switch on the mini 12.
And when I'm in the dell wireless manager, and I press activate. It tells me that I new to push a button so that the card is activated.
just received a Dell 5530 WWAN Mobile Broadband HSDPA KM266 PCIe mini-card which bought from a vendor on ebay today
Owning an XPS M1330, it took a little trial & error finding compatible drivers and the appropriate SW, but I managed it by feeding Dell's website with various Notebook models in order to get to said drivers & SW.
The SW (Ericsson) came from the Dell Mini 9 section (because the ebay vendor told me that's where he got the card in the first place):
Title : Communications:Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA Mini-Card Application
Version : A00
OEM Name : Dell
OEM Ver : 5.2.1045.43
Computers : Inspiron - 910, 1210

I have a Studio XPS 16, and I ordered it without the above mentioned WWAN card. I'm going to pick up one on Ebay, I assume it works pretty well.
I'm in Australia, wondering if any other Australian owners have got this WWAN card working with Bigpond 3G broadband.
So My Dell 1555 has an option to put a WWAN Card in it. Now my questions are
1) WWAN is basically stick a SIM card in the back of my battery and browse internet right??
2) Is WWAN GPS enabled as well? So Can i use it with some special software (which one??) to locate my position and probably give direction? .......
has anyone manage to get a 5530 WWAN + GPS card working in a m2400?
I can get the mobile broadband working but i cant get it to turn on the GPS, tried most drivers.... and Controlpoint...
Anyone got the new 64 bit Windows 7 driver (not the Vista driver) for 5530 WWAN card on E6400 working?.
The driver installed fine on my E6400 (running 64 bit Windows 7), but Wireless Manager (downloaded from Sony Ericsson website) stopped working saying it can't find any wireless device (probably because it can't recognize the new driver)..
Then I went to get Control Point Connection Manager and noticed that there's none for Windows 7. So how do you use the WWAN card without a client?..
The newest firmware for the 5530 HSPA Mini-Card won't install on my XPS1640.
Have you had success installing it?
This is the driver from the Dell site:
The driver is called Dell_Wireless-5530-HSPA-Mini_A01_R212325_firmware.exe
Executing this file unpacks it:
...and continues to start the installation:
...pressing OK will give me this:
I got my Dell about 2 weeks ago with Vista pre installed. I then took the leap and installed Win 7 32bit.
With the upgrade all is well except the mobile broadband device.
The Mobile broadband application that dell supplies for win 7 is very primitive with very unstable network searching and connecting.
I was just wondering what the latest version software for win 7 is and where to look for an firmware upgrade if indeed there is one?
i'm a heavy 3G data user and I've made a mistake buying a 2530p without WWAN.
Can anyone tell other WWAN card supported besides UN2400 (FN556AA) ?
The Antenna, SIM Slot and Mini PCIE slot already there...
i'm attempting to fit a Dell 5530 WWAN card in my Dell XPS M1330. Could someone advise which cables to attach where?..
There are 3 available cables, a blue, grey/white and black/white but on the 5530 there are 2 connections: main and aux. The blue cable will not reach to the main connection..
Have got a Dell Studio 1735 for a year now and wanted to have mobile broadband internet.
So I bought a new Dell 5530 card. When I received it, installed it in my laptop following the online instructions and downloaded the latest driver for it.
When I went in the 'Device manager' read that the driver is working properly, so it is functioning.
Just received a new XPS Studio 13 purchased as a single customer (rather than through business channels)... having issues with the WWAN 5530 which I got on the presumption that it would be unlocked.
Dell ControlPoint Connection Manager says it is "unactivated HSPA". Have tried activating it via vodafone, but their computers are down today!
- Am I able to activate it without the help of Vodafone?
- Is it locked to the Vodafone network? .....
Right everyone, after much searching and screaming and tearing my hair out, ive managed to get the dell 5530 wwan to work on a vostro v13 with windows 7 32-bit.
this guide is mostly for those who have downloaded countless number of drivers, and been told error 23000 - this is not for your device .........
I'm owner of E6400, and i'm consider now to buy Dell Wirless 5530 on ebay for 60$ include shipping (pretty cheap).
I unserstand that I can install it only if my E6400 came with preparation for it (antenna for it).
How could I check if my notebook have the extra antenna?
And if there isn't antenna installed, Can I install it? (in ebay it cost 10$)
I saw that there is place to put sim card, and there is antenna connectors for the wwan cards
So whats the difference between Dell 5530 / 5700 / 5720 WWAN Cards? I know higher the better.. but why??
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded and installed the correct drivers and also the wireless manager from Sony Ericsson. The problem I am having is with Vodafone. Both my Vodafone SIM cards work perfectly well with my unlocked Vodafone branded USB dongle.
However, these sim cards do not work with the Dell card. When I try my Orange Sim card from my mobile phone it works perfectly. So I know the Dell card works and therefore suspect that I only need to change the settings.
However, I don't have a clue what settings to change-that's where I hope you guys can help! Thanks in advance.
PS. I have a latitude E6500
I need to download drivers for the dell Wireless 5530 Mobile Broadband Built-in Mini-Card.
I have searched various dell sites with no joy! I can find drivers for the 5520 no problem but they won't work. I've had no joy with the vista driver update feature either.
I can't even find them with google!
Its my first post and i've tried searching but cannot find the info i'm after. I got my Studio XPS13 today and installed Windows 7 64 Bit on it. I have installed all the drivers ok but i cannot get the connection software anywhere to use the WWAN.
Maybe it's late and i'm missing it somewhere but would anybody be able to point me in the right direction.
i bought a new lattitide 6500 from an outlet type place, it came fully loaded with more than it said in the specs, web cam etc
i had an issue and they replace the mobo, when the guy was replacing the board, i noticed it had a sim card slot with all hardware present.
I was wondering, if I could use the following card:
Dell 5720 Mini-PCI-e WWAN card
for JUST its GPS features? I may at a later date get it subscribed to use as a cellular modem as well,
but for now I was wondering if I put this in my M1730, would I be able to access the GPS functions of it for a program such as Streets
Does anyone know if all WWAN cards are created equal?
I wanted to pick one up for my 1645, but I don't have AT&T. Other Dell models are available with Verizon Wireless cards, and I was hoping it would be a direct swap.
My Dell XT is arriving tomorrow. Does not come with a WWAN card, which I would like to install.
Questions are:
1 - which card is better 5520 or 5530 - 5530 is cheaper in the UK on Ebay
2 - can I just install the card/drivers and away I go, will there a built in antenna connection available already?
Does anybody know the screw size for the wwan card in the XPS 1640 ?
I bought a card but it didn't came with the screws and i don't know what size to order.
Does anyone know what the part number for the Verizon 5720 card is for the 1340?.
I found this on Dell's website - verizon 5720..
But, the picture is for a sprint card so the P/N on screen is no help. I have been thinking about adding one from ebay or somewhere cheaper but want to make sure I get the right one...
I have a older HP 6910p laptop that I am prep'ing for use in my Digital Camera bag. I thought it might be nice to install a WWAN card, in the laptop in case, I am out and need access to the internet in some place that does not support Wi-Fi and the like.
I am looking at the WWAN card from ebay: [url]
I have a couple of questions:
1) My laptop has two Antenna leads in the port area for the WWAN card and the MC8775 has only 1 Antenna connector, will it work OK with only the one Antenna lead and which of the two leads should I connect?
2) Will I be able to use the SIM card from my iPhone in the Laptop with no additional plan or service then the data plan that is already provided by the iPhone/AT&T plan?
3) How does the GPS function work on these WWAN cards?
I purchased that WWAN for my D630.
First, can I use drivers from HP site?
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...5&mode=4&idx=0
Driver from 2007
or it should be Dell dedicated?
Second, how I connect to the Internet? after inserting SIM card.
What software do I need? and where can I get it?
I have a X1 Carbon with Sierra EM7345 WWAN modem. It is all installed perfectly - drivers etc. But id does not recognize the SIM card. I have googled a bit and I can say that:
1) I have the drivers OK, I have the WWAN network adapter etc.
2) I have inserted the SIM card correctly
The SIM card works perferctly if I use the USB 3G stick instead. So the problem is not in the SIM card. I think there is some configuraiton of the Sierra modem which should be done - to switch to 3G/2G or something.
Have D420 here and was thinking if it's possible to use WWAN slot for any other mini pci-e cards like SSD or video decoder. Now Dell docs state not to mix WLAn and WWAN cards between their assigned slots.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy trusty m1210 is still going strong. I just got a Netgear WNDR3700 router, so I wanted to upgrade my wifi card. Will any mini card work? I know the Dell 1500 & 1505 as well as the Intel 4965 work. But what about the Intel Ultimate-N 6300? Are there any limitations of my laptop that would prevent ANY mini card from working? BTW
