Inspiron 15 (3521) wireless 'limited'...but only at certain places!

I've spent days trying to resolve this issue on this laptop. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my son, only to find that it's got a problem with wifi connectivity. What's crazy though is that it connects perfectly to my home router, and will connect perfectly at two different coffee shops/bakeries I've used for testing yesterday. But at a local Starbucks and at my sons work location (which is also a public hotspot) it only shows a 'limited' connection, and you get no Internet access. I was also told that it could see and connect to his iPhone in 'hotspot' mode or whatever, but couldn't get to the Internet thru that either.
Basics: Inspiron 15 (3421), Windows 8 x64 clean install, and all current Dell drivers installed (from the Dell site.)
Fwiw, I have a long tech background with computers and laptops, so I have no problem getting into and checking or resetting things. As I said, it has all the latest Dell drivers for everything on it, including the most current (as of today) wireless 1704 driver. Also, I've read numerous forum posts by others with similar problems, so I've seen many of the things suggested to try to fix wifi connectivity issues (i.e. set it to maximum performance, don't let the system turn it off, etc.) I'm still checking various posts for others ideas, but it's frustrating to have it working here at home and have to run up to a Starbuck to see if it's fixed or still flaky.
  Even so, it seems to me that the evidence that it connects perfectly to some hotspot routers and my AT&T wifi router at home makes it pretty clear the hardware is fine. It does see all the hotspot routers and lists their names and it can/does connect and get an IP (verified via 'ipconfig /all'). So I think the laptop/wlan hardware is functional, but there's something wrong with the drivers or some setting that is enabled or disabled, or set wrong, that just doesn't communicate properly with some of the generic hotspot routers or configurations...like the 'Google Starbucks' hotspot down the street.
I think by now Dell must have a very good idea what the problem is, even if they aren't widely publicizing it for whatever reason. But I'd like to know what could make this thing not connect to some very public hotspot routers, and be just fine connecting to others. It has to be something set in the laptop that's making it overly strict or specific, such that maybe older routers won't work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks...

I can certainly understand the frustration. It's clear to me, after a week of trying to figure this out that not everyone's connection problem was the same as mine, but I do think that what I found  was something that should have been near the top of the list in troubleshooting steps. It was hands-down one thing that would stop all internet connectivity under some circumstances..but would work in others...and would never be obvious to most people--especially considering the info below:
Tonight I went back to a different Starbuck's to double-check that it was now working at all of them. At this Starbuck's---which I'd been to before---I still got the 'limited' connectivity. Lo and behold, the network IP4 setting still had the faulty 192.168.1.254 DNS entry, with the check box to "use the following DNS server address", though I know I'd deleted it since things were now working at the other Starbuck's. I removed it, but when I went back and reconnected it still wouldn't connect...and the DNS entry seemed to have reappeared. I tried connecting and reconnecting, but it wouldn't get past limited connectivity.  Then it hit me...
  What I suspect now might be a problem is that if you ever tried to connect to the router at a location, and either remembered it or choose to "connect automatically", it must be storing the settings for that particular network/wi-fi connection. It seems logical in hindsight, but it had not occurred to me that each wi-fi connection you connect to (Starbucks..the book store..etc.) may save whatever network attributes you had set in there at the start, and if they're wrong, you're, well, dazed and confused to put it mildly. I think that's why my faulty DNS entry was still in there for this location.
So, I finally completely deleted the connection for this Starbucks (i.e. choose 'forget this network' from the wi-fi list) and let it be re-detected cleanly. Now when I chose to connect...bingo! Got through to the Starbuck's T&C page and could finally authenticate and go on.
To restate my experience: I'd tried all the 'advanced' settings changes that so many Dell 'Rockstars' kept telling everyone to change--I changed power settings, strict H, 802.11b, 2300, MAIN, AUX, aggressive, broader compatibility, blah, blah..changed the back, the back again. I reinstalled drivers, borrowed drivers from old Win 7 batches, and even tried some odd Broadcom drivers. Not one of those things made any difference, but not one rockstar every suggested being sure you don't have a bad DNS server IP in there.
 (Fwiw...I did finally settle on the WLAN 1708 driver, which worked and is running in there now, though I think the original 1704 driver probably was working all along.)
The steps:
1) Connect to the router showing 'Limited' connectivity...then..
2) Right-click the wi-fi icon in the Windows tray (next to the battery icon) and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center.
3) Double-click the name of wi-fi connection on the right (in blue, next to the little green wi-fi bars.)
4) Click 'Properties'..
4) Scroll down and double-click on "Internet Connection Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
5) At the bottom, select ""Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically"....click "OK" and you're done.
You'll likely have been disconnected anyway, but best to just "Forget this Network" for this connection and let it be re-detected, and reconnect from scratch. Worked for me and I can now connect everywhere.
Best of luck..

  • Is this true? "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD

    My friend told me the following. Is this true?
    "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD burners."

    Probably not - although this comes only from personal experiance and not any technical knowlage. I always purchase cd's based on conviniance and not brand. Also spend my life between Europe and North America and have never encontered any cd that would not work - aside occasional lemons.
    Hope this helps - just remember this is an experiance based reply.

  • Telnet can't figure out route to host, but only on certain ports?

    How come it can figure out the route when using port 80, but not when using port 510? And is the inability to figure out the route the reason why Wireshark shows ZERO outgoing packets on port 510 when it fails to connect?
    And why only on certain IPs? If I use "edu.yorku.ca", I can connect via telnet on both 80 and 510.

    No, it only connects when I hit the server on port 80. Using IP or FQDN doesn't seem to make a difference.
    If I try to use Network Utils to do a trace route, it too says no route to host.
    I've got a G4/ppc running 10.4.11 attached to the same router, and it has no issue hitting the server on any port, and can do a trace route as well.

  • Some images do not load, but only on certain browsers

    I have a really weird problem, I posted my web site and it appeared to work just fine with Safari, Explorer and Firefox. However, certain AOL browsers do not see some images. I can repeat the problem on the latest AOL client for Mac on two of my Macs here. My father inlaw says some of his friends cant see the images either (i am waiting for more info back from him, they all use Windows, so I think the problem is more than the Mac client).
    The problem only appears when you try to load a photo page, it just loads the background and not the pictures. All other images load OK on pages that are not photo pages, and as they are all '.PNG' I cant see what the difference would be.
    If anyone has a variety of browsers (especially AOL Mac) and can confirm this odd behaviour I would appreciate it. The page appears to complete loading, and doesn't show any broken links or errors - the pictures are just not there!
    The main area is http://www.david-andrews.com/Wedding/Intro.html
    If you select one of the wedding albums at the top of the above page then on certain browsers the images don't load. (I only found a problem with AOL on a Mac so far, but my father inlaw's friends don't have Macs). The Macs I tried both had Java script turned on etc.
    Thanks for your help, any advice greatly appreciated.

  • Clicking on "Envelopes" only brings up "Envelope Options", and not the dialog box to print envelopes, but only on certain documents.

    I'm using Word 2010, and up until a few weeks ago have never had trouble printing envelopes. Then one day I clicked on Envelopes to print one, and it only
    brought up Envelope Options instead of the dialog box to print envelopes. Eventually the problem went away and it worked again. Then it happened again last week. I closed down everything Office-related and started back up, and it worked again. Now it's happened
    again today, and even after shutting all Office products down, it still won't let me print envelopes. I have two printers and it happens no matter which one I choose. The strange thing is it apparently only happens on certain documents, because I can open
    up another letter, hit "Envelopes" and paste in the address from the letter that won't print, and it will work fine. What is wrong with these certain documents that makes Word unable to bring up the print dialog? I can't find anything online relating
    to this issue. Any ideas?

    1. If you empty the whole document then click the Evelopes buttong, what will happen?
    2. Check if there are any special macros in these specific documents
    3. Try remove both of these printers, and check this issue again.
    4. Will this behavior also happen when open these documents from the other computer?
    You can also share a copy of the document in SkyDrive so I can check on it. (Remove any sensitive information)

  • How do I add cells, but only if certain criteria are met first in other cells?

    I have a little problem in working this out, I can't! I can add cells & alike, but more complex working are an unknown to me.
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    I've three cells in a row C4 with 5 in, D4 with 3 in & E4 with 1 in. I'd like to add these numbers together into a cell below E6, which is =SUM(C4:E4) which will make 9 in cell E6.
    I've also three cells in a row below C4 - E4 which are C5, D5 & E5 which will only ever have ether 0 or 1 inputted into them. All these cells will only ever have data inputted into them from left to right i.e. Column C first, then Column D & lastly Column E.
    What I’d like for the cells to do, is only add cells C4 - E4 from left to right, once a cell below (C5 - E5) has had a 1 inputted into it & then continue to add the cells there after normally.
    Examples:
    Like above if C4 had 5, D4 had 3 & E4 had 1, & the all the cells below (C5 - E5) had 1 in them, then E6 = 9.
    Again,  if C4 had 5, D4 had 3 & E4 had 1, but C5 had 0, D5 had 1 & E5 had 1, then E6 = 4.
    Again if cells C4 - E4 are the same, but C5 had 0, D5 had 1 & E5 had 0, then E6 still = 4.
    In the same aspect as above, if C4 - E4 are the same, but C5 had 1, D5 & E5 had 0, then E6 = 9.
    If cells C4 - E4 are the same, but C5 - E5 all had 0, then E6 = 0.
    I hope this is clear, & all comments are welcome.
    Many Thanks.

  • MAC is SLOW, but only in certain users...

    I hope I've placed this post in the right area. I am running 10.4.11 as you can tell by my bio. I have 4 users on the start up screen. Me, wife, 2 kids. My user is fine, everything runs smoothly, a little slow but that's due to the lack of RAM. (already have the additional ram on its way) My wifes user is very slow, firefox and the other browsers just run slower then they do on my user. It just seems that something is wrong with her user. Is there anything I can download that would get rid of any excess temp internet folders, cache, etc... Basically a clean up, and where would I look (folders) to clean up this mess. Is there a probability that more then one app. is running? If so how can I check. Or should I just save her stuff, delete user and then reinstate. HELP
    Thanks

  • Spotlight does not find files with "_" (underscores), but only for certain file types

    Hey Folks,
    this is strange, maybe someone has an idea.
    I already searched the internet for a while, nothing found so far.
    I have a file "calc_mean.m" on my desktop.
    When I type "calc" in spotlight, it shows the file.
    But when I type "calc_" it suddenly does not show the file anymore. Nor does find the file, when I enter "calc_mean.m" in spotlight.
    When I enter "calc mean.m" in spotlight, it finds it (using space instead of the underscore).
    Now comes the real surprise:
    When I rename the file to "calc_mean.txt", spotlight suddenly DOES find the file when entering "calc_mean.txt".
    I recreated this "feature" with other files, copying and renaming ".txt" files to ".m" files, and if there's a underscore in the file, spotlight wont find it.
    Playing around a bit more, it seems spotlight does find files with underscore when they are documents, at least it works for the following extensions:
    .pdf
    .doc
    .txt
    .xls
    But these extensions for example do not work:
    .mp3
    .m
    .k
    .a
    .ka
    (and other random endings I tried).
    I am pretty confused. Sure it's no big deal learning to search for files that include underscores in their name using space instead. But I'm still quite puzzled. Any idea?

    All of those have meaning in various database search syntax (not sure if it matters).
    _ usually means any character.
    % usually means any run of characters.
    - is often used to negate what comes next, i.e. "don't include results that have the following text."
    I don't see any problem on my Mac, though.
    I also don't have any problem finding file names with those accented characters using Spotlight. I would suggest reindexing Spotlight, but if cmd-f finds them, I'm not sure that would help.

  • Trackpad/Multitouch not working.... but only in certain spots?

    Hey all.
    I've had my 2010 2.4ghz Core 2 DuoMacbook for just over 2 years, and I've had my share of problems, but nothing quite like this.  Upon waking it from sleep this afternoon, the trackpad has been acting eratic, but not in the typical fashion described on these forums.  It doesn't jerk or click on its own.  Instead, it appears to have developed dead spots, in which the trackpad cannot sense that my finger is touching it.  The trackpad is not wet and my hands are not dirty; the problematic areas are consitent.  It's as though the sensitivity in much of the trackpad has simply vanished.
    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on this computer and booted via the installation disk, running the disk and permission checks.  Nothing has changed.  Is this a definite hardware problem, warranting a replacement of the trackpad, or is there a possible solution for this?
    Thanks

  • Net Diagnostics fixes wireless connection, but only until reset

    We just added a wireless repeater to my house, and a day later, I started having a recurring problem. On startup, I have no internet connection, nor can I ping my router. Once I run Network Diagnostics, the problem resolves itself and I'm back online...
    Until I restart, and I'm back to square one. Is there anyway to access what settings are being switched by the Diagnostics and make them stick?
    C

    This may be a clearer description of what is happening to me (quoted from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7245859&tstart=0).
    (begin quoting)
    this is what I get.
    "You are not connected to the Internet". Can't access the page, blah, blah, blah. I see a great signal up top, I am connected wirelessly via airport. I click Network Diagnostics & this is what I get:
    Green light by Airport
    Green light by Airport Settings
    Yellow light by Network Settings
    3 Red lights for ISP,Internet & Server
    I see Select Location, I choose Automatic & press Continue button.
    I see Choose Network port Config, I choose Airport & press Continue.
    I see Select Airport Network, I choose mine which is linksys (I see others, which I assume are my neighbors) & press Continue.
    I see PPPoE or DHCP, I choose DHCP & press Continue.
    I see Are you connected to DSL or Cable? I choose Yes because I am & press Continue.
    Then I see a message that says, "Network Change Detected. Click OK to proceed to next step." Behind this message I see all the lights turn to green. I press OK & I am connected to the Internet again.
    (end quoting)
    This recurs for me after system startup or sleep. No problem otherwise. The router is a Wireless G Router : F5D7230-4. I've reset the password to WEP128 protocol with no impact.

  • Binding AD to OD but only for certain users.

    We have a small (winXP) computerlab in an educational facility. In order to ensure that the computers are locked down they are all part of a Domain managed by a Win2003 AD server. I have done quite a few Registry Hacks to the Hive to make sure the users can't install software, or even see any drive's except, floppies, optical drives and zips. Our main service here is e-mail, and we are running an X-serve with all of the users in OpenLDAP (OD). We have quite a few users that we either don't need to be in our LDAP directory, or for security reasons shouldn't be, simply because they take a class for a semester and we never see them again. Some might say, well then just create a general account that the "outside" users can use and be done with it. The problem with that is, then all of the "outside" users see or can access the same "Home" drive. I suppose this wouldn't be a problem as long as they were notified that they could be giving access to their files to other users unless they used another storage mechanism (thumb drive, cd, outside FTP, etc.)
    I was also curious what people's experience with using a hacked ntuser.dat to lockdown xp boxes was. I know it's possible, since that seems to be functionality built in. Also if anyone has had problems with multiple users using the same exact ntuser.dat file.

    I figured it out on my own. I'd forgotten that my mother changed the account email addy, and I was changing it to the current one, which did nothing, as the songs were purchased on a second accout. Thanks anyway to anyone who considered rplying =)

  • Allow All Users To Add List Items But Only Certain users To Edit Them (SharePoint 2013)

    How do we allow all users to add items to a list, but only allow certain users to edit the list items? Site is SharePoint 2013. We have tried creating custom permissions. That does not seem to work.

    I've setup a custom list on my SharePoint Foundation using a custom permission level to accomplish this.  I setup a custom permission level on the site called 'Add Only to Lists'  which allows adding an item to the list and setup the group with
    the default read and the custom permission level and it works.  The users in the group get the add item but do not get edit item, not even items they created themselves.
    Any users who should have full edit permissions can be setup under the normal edit/contribute/design permission level and work normal.
    Below is the Role Definition pulled via PowerShell and Role Assignments on the list in question.  As well as a picture showing what it looks like to something assigned that role level.

  • I have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.
