hi there, first of all, have you tryed finding other wireless routers. Perhaps a friends, because the problem may not be with your wireless card. It may be with your router configuration. If you can connect to a friends then the issue is with your router and not your card. I will guide you as best as i can

hi once again,

 

 firstly have you tryed completely uninstalling the driver ?

 

to do this, get to device manager, Right click my computer >> Properties >> then click on the hardware tab >> then select device manager  >> expand network adaters, right click on the Intel Pro2100, and click uninstall..

 

 then restart your pc

 

 after that, download the driver from the following site and install this. Intel pro 2100 mini adapter driver

 

this should resolve your issue

 

Hi Mr James,

 

Thanks for your reply, I had actually reinstalled the os a fresh on the laptop , howevr I did as suggested by you and still the same problem persists. When ever I uninstall the drivers and restart the system it detects the new hardware and installes them. however I did download the drivers from the link you provided and installed the same however I am stuck at the same place. Prior to reinstalling the OS it did work but one fine day stoped detecting the router and I had been postponing reinstall(had a trojn and virus attack along time I did get  rid of them tthough) for a while so went ahead with the same and unable to move onI also downloded another file from a dell link which is about 77 odd MB R155386.exe. Another point when I uninstalled the driver and re install the new one I see a increment in the hard ware name e.g Intel PRO 2100 (2) and so on. how does this affect the problem and how do I get over the same.
