Hello Dell people, I have a Dell XPS 16, with a Intel wifi link 5100agn network card. Cat Software For Yaesu Ft-757gx. I am another user facing the known issues with the card, connection problems. However i contacted dell support and they sent me a new card after they tried fixing it through remote connection, reinstalled my Windows still same problems. I cannot connect to any wireless networks, i can find the networks but cannot connect to them, its a brand new card inserted and still does not work. I contacted Dell again and they said they will come and collect the laptop and take it to the service center and test the laptop, it will take around 8-11 days before i can get it back, unfortunately i cannot do this yet as I have exams and projects coming up in my UNI, does any of you have any ideas or tricks I can try and see if it helps/works? The Intel driver is upto date, its running on version 14.3.2.1 ().

Hope someone can help me here to get this problem fixed. Hello again people, well i unplugged the antenna wires from the card and connected them again.

Feb 13, 2016 I'm having a Lenovo X200T with the Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN running Microsoft Windows 10. Is support for Wifi Link 5100 AGN coming on Windows 10.

No luck, still the same issue, it might be the antenna itself? But Dell support guy said they want to test it before they ship anything to me, problem is at the moment i cannot let them take it for 10+ days as I have UNI assignments and exams coming up:/.

Is there any other way of finding out if it really IS the antenna? Any way of testing it?? Also I saw two more antenna wires for the WWAN, if i connect them will that help? Or is that completely impossible? Thanks for helping once again. Regards, Farukh. Farukh, Do you have a wireless router?

Did you setup the wireless router? Here is the information I found about the. Association Test The association test checks for Wi-Fi connectivity. Association is the establishment and maintenance of the Wi-Fi link between devices. When security is enabled, the devices only exchange security credentials. The test will fail if the client is not associated successfully.

• Run the signal test. • Verify that a profile has been created.

• Verify that the profile SSID matches the access point network name (SSID). • Remove the existing profile and create a new profile. • Verify that your Wi-Fi network is not included in the list of excluded profiles. • Verify that the MAC address has not been excluded in the access point.

Authentication Test The authentication test verifies the identity of the Wi-Fi device or user. It checks for authentication state information, including all Cisco* Compatible Extensions and security-related information.

Test fails if the client is not authenticated. • Click Tools » Intel® Wireless Troubleshooter » Wireless Event Viewerto display error log records. • Edit your profile to ensure the correct credentials have been used for the WEP key, PSK, password or certificates.

• Remove the existing profile and create a new profile. Signal Test The test fails if there is a low signal.

• Move your computer 10 to 20 feet from the Wi-Fi access point or router. • Reduce interference by moving away from appliances (microwaves, cell phones or 2.4 GHz phones) or access points using the same channel. • Increase the transmission power of the access point. • Use the Troubleshoot feature in the Manual Diagnostics Tool to further diagnose the issue. After going through all the threads on this issue, I was quite sure this has nothing to do with any software or service.

Hence, I decided to give it a go to play with the hardware. I have a Dell XPS 16 1640 with same wifi card.

What worked for me was to take out the card, disconnected the power cables of the card, peeled the wif back cover, clean it with alcohol deo, dry it repaste the peeled sticker and finally insert in slot. This brought my wifi back to normal working state. P.S:- This might not be the recommended solution and if you guys wann try it its up to you. I decided to go for it coz I thought this was my last chance, if this would not have worked then I would have ordered a new card anyways.

So all the best and this might help you. Cheers Bharat.

We just recently figured out, if we get the 5100 working 100%, it will also be able to have the 5300 working also, using the same system, just a little kext editing needed, that's it. We'd do it for you, of course and try to make everything automated and easy for all OS X users, newbie or pro. Please visit site for EVERYTHING OSx86.

Including details and updates on the progress of the intel 5100 kext/driver. Also ignore the domain name for now, only one I had left registered, lol.

I got the card to detect as an ethernet card, need to figure out how to change that, lol. Some progress though.

Ok i just uploaded a newer test installer package. Make sure to delete the previous iwi4965.kext first. From your extensions folder. Install, when its complete, DO NOT RESTART. Use kexthelper b7, open it, import the modified iwi4965.kext included in zip Tick the advanced box, click kext permissions button on bottom left. Then install the kext by click easy install at top, dont forget to enter password so the button lights up blue. DO NOT CLICK RESTART YET Wait a minute or less, OS X should warn you it found a new network enterface, click apply.

As you'll see, it detects it as an ethernet card. We need to fix this but play around with things and/or the network selector, ive tried to turn card on but got nothing, neither with scan., we're looking into this heavily. This is a great step forward! Original comment by lethaldo.@gmail.com on 10 Oct 2009 at 7:08 • Added labels: **** • Removed labels: **** Attachments: •.

Thanks for your response John. I appreciate it and look forward to talking some more. Red Dead Redemption Key Pc. I on the other hand find it feasable as I can try and inject the intel 5100 firmware written by Intel just like project c and iwidarwin have done. It's just a matter or re-working some things and the only reason im trying this out is because i lost my previous work which pisses me off as it was written from scratch and was on its way to a higher road =( Original comment by lethaldo.@gmail.com on 11 Oct 2009 at 1:54 • Added labels: **** • Removed labels: ****. @ #38 / Graf Just use windows or OSX86 Tools to find out your wireless cards ven and dev numbers.

The ven number is Intels number, which should be 8086, the dev will be different, for instance, the 5100 is 4232, you might be 4233, etc. You'd have to modify the kext included in the.zip file and change 0x42328086 to 0x????8086 replace?' S with your numbers. Install package included in zip but then delete the iwi4965 out of your extensions folder. Then install the kext YOU MODIFIED into your extensions directory.

@aly4everfr I cannot load that kext because it does not have code for x86_64 kernels.

Hi guys, Apparently this guy is working on a solution for most intel wifi drivers (5100 series included). According to him (read on his blog) we can expect a working kext in a couple of months. Blog: Facebook page for more frequent updates: So just be patient. We waited more than a year, im sure we can hold on for a few more months:) Original comment by eliw1.@gmail.com on 11 Jun 2010 at 3:53 • Added labels: **** • Removed labels: ****. That's great news!

And yes, I'm happy to wait a little longer for a working kext for the 5100 AGN! Although, if people are inpatient I guess they could try a WiFi Adapters like the Dynamode WL-700N-MINI, D-LINK 54M DWL-G122 or DLink DWA-643 Xtreme N ExpressCard? I have considered these myself, but not sure how well they work. If anyone has any experience with any Wifi adapters that work, please share:) Original comment by kennethm.@gmail.com on 14 Jun 2010 at 10:52 • Added labels: **** • Removed labels: ****.
