    Any body else having wifi problems xps m1530? This is the second time this has happened. I am unable to connect to the wifi. The first time i did a system restore and it was good for like 3 days and now it happened again. The wireless is on and when i go to my wireless device manager it says wireless cant find any networks.

    When i do a diagonis it is states two options 1) wifi link 4965agn is experiencing drive or hardware related issues 2) make sure your internet protocol binding is correct

    When i click option 2 it states "some of the controols on this property sheet because one or more other network property sheets are already open. to use these controols, close all these property sheets and re open this one"

    Not sure what that mean

    when i do a windows repair it sates windows has tried to repair but the problem still exists and the two options are still there. Anyone else having this problem?

    well i have the intel next gen N wireless and it works like a charm. so far the best connection ive seen, no regrets whatsoever.

    maybe its the router to witch you are trying to connect, in my case, its always the one causing the problems

    Try getting the latest drivers from intel.com and see that fixes it.

    hmmm, well it could be something in the settings, remember that N routers are uncommon, and if its set to only detect N routers then thats your problem.
