Dell Inspiron 15R - limited connectivity on wifi
Hi,
I recently moved apartments and, using the same modem and router (dlink router DIR-865L) I am experiencing "limited connectivity" when I connect. Same SSID, same password.
router settings:
Wireless Band:
2.4GHz Band
Enable Wireless: Always
Wireless Network Name: (Also called the SSID)
802.11 Mode: 802.11b only 802.11g only 802.11n only Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b
Enable Auto Channel Scan:
Wireless Channel: 2.412 GHz - CH 1 2.417 GHz - CH 2 2.422 GHz - CH 3 2.427 GHz - CH 4 2.432 GHz - CH 5 2.437 GHz - CH 6 2.442 GHz - CH 7 2.447 GHz - CH 8 2.452 GHz - CH 9 2.457 GHz - CH 10 2.462 GHz - CH 11 2.467 GHz - CH 12 2.472 GHz - CH 13
Transmission Rate: Best (automatic) (Mbit/s)
Channel Width: 20 MHz 20/40 MHz(Auto)
Visibility Status: Visible Invisible
WPA-personal
WPA mode: Auto
any idea why this issue is occurring. the limited connectivity issue is occurring like 90% of the time. Sometime I successfully connected and the connection is good, but while using it, it suddenly drops and turns into limited connectivity.
first time posting. appreciate the helps

mw96910,
I would not use the auto channel feature. Some adapters work best on channels 1, 6 or 11. I prefer channel 11. Try using the Recommended Wireless Router Settings but change the SSID to a new SSID to make connecting easier.
