Dell laptop keeps disconnecting from DLINK ROUTER
Hello,
I bought myself a DELL INSPIRON 1564 almost 2 years ago. I have been using a DLINK router MODEL DIR 635 ever since.
It worked flawlessly. Now, i moved to a different part of the city and i had to install an internet connection. The connection is the same i used before - 100mbs fiber-optic. The only problem now is that the internet connection keeps dropping 2 3 times a day. Sometimes my laptop sees the wireless connection we set up,sometimes i have to wait one or two days to connect. Furthermore my laptops SEES like 10 other wireless connections except MINE!!!( if i go to a friends place the laptop sees his internet connection and works, the same if i go to any other place with a wireless connection) I live with 3 other people, they all have laptops and theirs work fine even after we reset the router. I also own a desktop PC, i bought a wireless adapter for it and surprise even the PC sees our wireless connection,,even my mobile phone,every other device except my laptop.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x 64
Dell Inspiron 1564 core i3 , 2gb RAM ddr3, Intel GMA 4500mHD
Please help me fix this problem, i would like to know if its a hardware problem or a router problem ! I`m going insane!
Best regards,
Sergiu
You also might double check to see if your drivers are current for your laptop. My brand new Inspiron N7110 had all kinds of wireless issues. After fighting it for weeks, I finally went on here and found others had similar issues and someone suggested downloading a newer driver, and the improvement was dramatic.

I had similar issues with my D-Link DIR 635 router after I had it for a couple of years. I got sick of the constant dropping of the connection, so I picked up a cheap TP Link router from Newegg and tried it. It worked fine, so I presume the problem was the D-Link. I had thought maybe the problem was the old Gateway Laptop Marvel Top Dog adapter, but once I replaced the router, the laptop worked fine.
