Unfortunately my new install of Windows 2010 doesn’t offer more than one Dell-branded option. One suggestion was to use device manager and choose between multiple drivers for this card a 2009 version, 2012 version, and Broadcom-branded version. Similar symptoms someone upgraded to Windows 10 and their 1510 WLAN card went from a supposed 10 Mbit to 1/2 Mbit. Rate (802.11b/g) – same as above for this one.Rate (802.11a) – this one I tried setting all the way down to 24 Mbps, which is the lowest my network supports, but none affected anything, so I left it at Best Rate.IBSS Mode – 802.11a/b/g/n Auto is the preferred setting here.Bandwidth Capability (Choices of 11a/b/g:20/40MHz, 11a/b/g 20MHz, 11a:20/40:11bg:20MHz) – I ended up finding 11a:20/40:11bg:20 worked most reliably, after solving the overall problem, as the Cisco gear I have it connected to is set to support 40MHz width on the ‘a’ radios.802.11n Preamble (This should be left on Green Field Mode unless you really are connecting to ancient networks).I cycled through a massive number of settings, and not a single one affected things in a positive manner. It’s one of the first 802.11n adapters, so it, in theory, supports a/b/g MIMO at varying speeds. This laptop has a Dell 1510 Wireless card, which is based on the Broadcom 4322 chipset.

Pinging even the default gateway was showing about 80% packet loss, and responses I did get were seeing anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds latency. I know Windows updates are ridiculous, but 12 hours?! I discovered it appeared to be a networking issue. I bought a copy of Windows 10 Pro (since Home stupidly doesn’t come with BitLocker) to replace the Win7 that was installed, and did the install.Īfter install, Windows Update had been running for 12 hours and still hadn’t finished installation. I figured it’s not a bad device even though it’s 8+ years old 2.4 GHz dual core CPU, 8 GB of memory, a 300 GB SSD that I had put in it at some point, 1920×1200 WUXGA screen, nearly every port you can imagine minus HDMI, and a DVD burner. I found an old Dell Precision Workstation Laptop M4400 and decided to wipe it out and prep it to donate to a local charity. This will disable and then enable the network adapter "Wireless Network Connection" on this computer.Not sure if anyone will ever actually find this article useful, as we’re dealing with ancient technology here, but I figured I’ll write it out just in case.
