I have a new XPS 1530 & was trying to find the specs on the components & couldn't find any. Could someone tell me the specs, or where I can find them on my computer? I'd like to find the following:
Ethernet -- 10/100 OR 10/100/1000
Firewire (1394) -- 400 or 800
Also, for the wireless card for Intel WiFi 4965AGN 1) is it dual band, 2) what speed (Mbps)?
On my brand new Sony SR590, I cannot get the ethernet connection to run at 10/100/1000, only at 10/100. I don't see any settings for this whatsoever and I think I've looked everywhere. I have the Yukon 88e8040 card. When I bought the computer, the site says it's a GbE card! But why isn't it running at such speed?

Using HWiNFO32 it says "DDR2 Frequency Support:333MHz (DDR2-666)". It also reports that the current "Memory Speed: 333.3MHz (PC2-5300)" Ok, so far so good.....
Under SMBIOS DMI -> Memory Devices -> Memory Device both sticks of RAM are listed as "Memory Speed:667MHz" .....

I'm currently using a Dell XPS 1530 installed with an Intel(R) Wireless Wifi Link 4965AGN card and a D-Link DGL-4300 router. I'm running Vista Home Premium on the laptop.
The problem I'm experiencing is that more often than not, while I'm surfing the net, my wireless connection will drop automatically by itself, and then reconnect successfully by itself.
Interesting problem i would like to share with you guys and gals. i am unable to connect to the wireless network unless i reboot both my computer and my the router.
if i dont reboot, i can barely find my network, after hitting refresh a couple of times, the network will show up with very little reception. when i try to connect to it it would tell me the signal is too low.
But after i reboot the lappy and the router, i can connect to the network easily and get full bars.
the interesting part is that it works perfectly fine at my buddies house. i am not sure what the problem is. My roommate did just install this software called Network Magic.
Does anyone else have a low wireless connection speed with their dell latitude e6400? I have full signal strength and yet the speed is only 5.5 mbps.
All the other computers/laptops in the house that uses the wireless gets 54 mbps while my latitude gets 5.5 and sometimes it will go up to 9 and down to 6 or 2 and it's just not constant.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I want to connect some wireless peripherals with my XPS 1530, can you give me your suggestions on the following devices:
I do not want huge base stations, just usb size sticks. And cheap under 50$ or euros.
Headphones:
Should I use bluetooth or wireless? any suggestion .....
I have 3 laptops in my house, all use Intel cards. My other halfs D620 gets excellent signal everywhere downstairs but my new XPS 1530 seems to have poor/fair signal all the time.
I know it's not the router as the other laptops are and have been fine for months, I have updated the card to the latest Intel drivers but this didn't help?
This question pertains to all laptops but since I'm running a m1710, I hope its OK to post it here.
I have 6MB down DSL at my place. I was running it thru a Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824). In my laptop, I have a Gigabyte GN-WI01GT (mini) PCI-E WLAN card. When everything was running smoothly, I noticed that my connection "speed" was fluctuating between 54Mbps and 108Mbps. My first question is: how do I maintain the 108Mbps speed?
With my wireless adapter, I had initially let Vista install the drivers. Then I had the bright idea of going to the Gigabyte site and getting their latest drivers. I did this because it seemed like I was always on 54MBps and no longer jumped to 108Mbps. Ever since I updated my drivers, my router hasn't been working and needs to be set up again. I found this to be pretty strange.
Also, my interet isn't as fast as it was on day 1. Is this normal for DSL? Or is there something on my laptop degrading the connection? Is that even possible?
I haven't gotten around to reconfiguring my router but I did uninstall my wireless adapter and let Vista find the drivers. Would you guys recommend this process or using Gigabyte's drivers?
I have an XPS M1710 and it has the 3945ABG wireless card. Just today I upgraded my internet speed to 15Mb down. When I go to www.speedtest.net I get a result of 5Mb down.
I have tried the same test on one other laptop (not a Dell) and another desktop. None of the components involved are capable of 802.11N so I know its not that. The wireless router being used it Linksys WRT54G.
One more note, when I connect the router, or modem up directly to my NIC I will get the fill 15Mb.
Just purchased new Dell Inspiron 15 (3521). Wireless will only connect at 72Mbps. After some googling found this is by design. The adapter is the Dell Wireless 1703 Adapter. Can Dell pls confirm this is the case and that there is no way to achieve TRUE wireless N speeds ? The fact that this limitation is not advertised on any product material/brochure/sales rep is a concern. Would Dell replace the adapter with one capable of proper wireless N speeds free of charge ?
View 10 Replies View RelatedLast month I got a Inspiron 3520 for my daughter and have had nothing but trouble with it. When I plug it in to the router I get download speeds of 35-45 mbps, when I check speed using the wireless connection they range from 11 mbps down to less than 1! It is not the drivers, the power settings, the router as I have followed all of the "fixes" suggested in other threads and run through a 2 hour session with the Dell online chat rep which ended when he had to reboot the machine and the link to return to the chat that he left on my desktop was invalid.
If I move our other HP laptop to the same location (less than 5 feet from the wireless router) that gets download speeds of 25-30 so I am sure it is not the wireless signal. Also we have iPads and smartphones that all work just fine from anywhere in the house. I have tested the Dell speed when there is no one else home and all other devices are turned off and it is terrible. I know this is not a top of the line laptop but I expect it to work at least well enough to be functional. Based on my reading of this and other sites, I am making a guess that the wireless card is faulty.
First of all I have a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen - will be taking this up with Dell tommorrow as its really off putting especially on brand new laptop.
My second issue is with wireless - did have problems initially with wireless disconnects and genrally slow speeds
Im not entirely sure but removing Mcafee seemed to work with the disconnects at least - load of rubbish imo
Now my only other major issue is with wireless speeds on the 1703 card
I seem to max out at about 45mb on all broadband speed tests - while on another laptop I get the full speeds of 80mb on the same server at the same location
Im only getting a link speed of 72Mbps in the networking tab of Task Manager and this does seem rather slow - the other laptop gets 450Mbps (better wireless card - to go with my Asus N66U Router)
Anyway my thought process is that the 1703 wireless card is not up to much - I understand that the 1703 card is wireless and bluetooth - with I think 1 antenna for bluetooth and one for wireless connected to the wireless card.
Now I dont use bluetooth much if at all - so does it make sense to buy just a wireless card and connect the two antennas to the card and therefore losing bluetooth connectivity but gaining better wireless connection
I think I have an Intel Centrino WiFi Ultimate N 6300 in the other laptop
I have a Dell Inspirion 5520 that has Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 built in.Also I have a TP link TL-WR740N wireless router.I have an 80Mbps/25MBps internet connection.My Speedtest result with no router:When I connect all these via an Ethernet cable, I get the maximum even through the router:But when I try to do the same with WiFi I get 30/20 Maximum speed, and I'm sitting next to router!I have this configuration:*router:* -

Medium- Transit power: 5. Highest- Wireless Mode: 802.11b/gI
do get the fact that speed through wireless is slower than with wire, but losing 50Mbps is a bit too much!
I just found this weird occurence. I often use my Vaio Z with external monitor. So most of the time I have my lid closed. Accidentally I was opening my Network Status and noticed that my wireless speed was only 1Mbps which was pretty aweful for an N speed. I was pulling my hair off, trying to figure out the problem with the setting. By looking at the signal, it was still pretty decent 3 bars.
Finally I found out that, whenever I opened the Sony Z lid , the speed would jumped up to 90Mbps and over maximizing around 150Mbps. Surprisingly the signal quality remained the same around 3 bars.
Did anybody experience this as well? Is it normal? Why did this happen?
I already turned off power management for wireless Intel 5100 AGN as well.
I have a sony vaio Z, its the vgn-z650n. I have it loaded with Windows 7 Ultimate.
I am having a strange issue with the wireless. I will have sudden speed decreases and/or the internet will stop all together.
The wireless connection is never actually dropped. When I have it hooked up with ethernet, it works perfectly fine with no issues
My E4300 shipped in October with the old Firewire 400 (IEEE 1394). Does anybody know if Dell is shipping Firewire 800 (IEEE 1394b) yet and if the E4300 can be updated?
View 3 Replies View Relatedmy question is what Firewire does the m1530 support? 1) 400 or 2) both 800 and 400?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron E1705 that I purchased a few years ago. I am taking it with me on vacation in June. I plan to bring my camcorder along as well.
The problem is while my desk top has a firewire card for transfering video from the camera to the computer, the laptop does not. So I will have n way right now to make any transfers.
Is it possible to add a firewire card to my Dell after market or is there another option I'm not aware of?
I have a new Studio 15 with firewire port. I just purchased a new camcorder to transfer DV tapes to DVD.
I got the camera specifically because it was supported by vista. But the laptop doesnt recognize the camera. Ive done a good bit of research and it seems to be a vista problem.
Ive tried all the solutions i could find on the net. Even modifying the registry per the instruction from microsoft support .....
I'm having a problem with a Firewire Audio card when recording from a MIDI input. It works okay for a few seconds,
then i get the dreaded BSOD - I haven't had time to look through the dump file yet, but the thread ks.sys is mentioned.
I've had a look about, and I think the problem is something to do with the ASIO4All driver I installed (and subsequently uninstalled) OR how the IRQs are set up in windows.
i want to transfer my mini DVD to my laptop and burn it to my DVD.
Unfortunately my XPS1530 can't detect my Sony Handycam using firewire to firewire.
anybody knows how to configure XPS1530-firewire connection?
I have got a Dell 9300 that I've been using for recording for a while. I've recently gotten a new external audio interface, a Presonus Firestudio that I connect to the Firewire port on the 9300. I'm getting digital noise coming through the Firestudio from the 9300 through the Firewire port. The noise, ie. chirping, clicking and popping, happens when you move your mouse or resize a window.
I've tried running the interface into the computer using a PCMCIA to FW adapter and running it into the cardbus slot. That has reduced the noise some, but has not eliminated it.
I don't remember getting this noise always, but I certainly have been dealing with it for a while. The noise isn't recorded so I can record just fine, it's just noisy when I'm monitoring.
Do you know of any ?
Does the "PR01X D/Port Replicator" have the IEEE 1394?
I have a lot of videos on my camcorder that I would like to burn on dvds and do not think the usb is going to work.
I have a MiniDV camcorder with lots of old cassettes I want to convert. I have tried unseccessfully to get an S-Video converter to work. Based on my research, my best option is to hook it up to a PC via a firewire. Unfortuately my recently purchased Inspiron from Dell does not have a firewire port. its possible to add a firewire port to this laptop?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the TZ series laptop. It has a S400 port. I also have a Sony external DVD/RW optical drive that only has an S400 port (the optical drive was meant for the UX series per the Sony website). I understand that it's almost the same as firewire1394, but you need to hook up devices that are powered (which is fine since my external optical drive has it's own AC plug).
Can I just buy a regular firewire 1394 cable or do I need a special S400 cable from Sony to hook up the DVD to my TZ?
I'm having a problem connecting my video camera to my HDX. The port itself seems to work as I was able to connect my external hard drive to it and it was found.
It's not the camera as I hooked it up to a different PC's firewire port and it was found. Not the cable either.
I've conected two mini dv camcorders (Sony HC-37E & JVC GR-D70EK) to my brand new Acer Aspire 5920, via firewire, & none of them are 'seen' by vista home premium and therefore don't work.
Both cam's work on an Acer desktop running vista home basic.
One thing I have noticed is that the firewire reported on the desktop is Texas instruments (whereas the laptop reports RICOH).
Especially in the circumstances of video editing and digitizing. What is the process that people would do now?
Would they put the camera in the firewire nd then capture via USB of the external hard drive and then put the firewire for the hard drive after capturing and on to editing?
Why is it that it seems only the Mac Pro is the only Mac that now has more than one fire wire port?
