    My Laptop is Dell studio XPS 1340 , origin oparating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64bits , and my wifi card is Dell Wireless 1515 Wireless N-Adapter.
    I had upgrade operating system to Windows 7 Professional . I had download the lastest driver from Dell's Website and installed to it , the first time i run it , everything is ok ( my wifi too ) .
    But 2or 3 month later , my wifi can not detect any access point ( in my house and my office ) ( but when i use another laptop , it connect to wifi very easy ).
    I had try re-install windows 7 again , and re-install driver , then wifi be came good again , but same time later its still not detect any more .

    Somebody known what problem with my laptop or my operating system ? And then how can i fix it for next time .

    Thanks you anyway !

    Try changing the chanel in you router.Especially if it is set to ''auto" change it into something else.

    could also update your firmware. reinstall your chipset drivers (back-up disc) and hopefully that will get you back on your feet.

    another thing as everyone always says. check your router settings!
