Hey,

I have had a Dell inspiron 3521 for a few months now and it keeps coming up with a "No Internet Access" Yellow Icon. It still says im connected but have no internet access and I cannot open any webpages or anything that involves the internet, every other computer and phone in the house will connect and stay connected. If I unplug the router and reconnect it works fine for 20-40 minutes but then I get the icon again, it works fine for a bit after being turned on and if it is rebooted it works fine but not for long, if I disable and then re enable the wireless networking device that was built in same result it works fine for a little bit but then stops. The thing i find most annoying is that i didnt have tihs problem until 1 month ago and i have had the laptop for about 5 months.i also have my battery power put to high performance so i dont get what is the problem.Also the router is no more than 5-7 meters away.

Since you turned the power setting to maximum performance (double check that it was saved that way) and you have tried new drivers and deleting the network, the next thing that I would do is to download and run the free network analyzer inSSIDer from HERE to determine if there is another strong signal on your channel that is causing enough interference to disconnect you.

You can also try changing from automatically obtaining an IP address to using a static IP address. You need to set that in both the laptop and the router.

If neither work, contact Dell for a warranty repair or replacement since it is a new laptop.
