Dell laptop keeps disconnecting from DLINK ROUTER

[sergiuvl]

Hello,

I bought myself a DELL INSPIRON 1564 almost 2 years ago. I have been using a DLINK router MODEL DIR 635 ever since.
It worked flawlessly. Now, i moved to a different part of the city and i had to install an internet connection. The connection is the same i used before - 100mbs fiber-optic. The only problem now is that the internet connection keeps dropping 2 3 times a day. Sometimes my laptop sees the wireless connection we set up,sometimes i have to wait one or two days to connect. Furthermore my laptops SEES like 10 other wireless connections except MINE!!!( if i go to a friends place the laptop sees his internet connection and works, the same if i go to any other place with a wireless connection) I live with 3 other people, they all have laptops and theirs work fine even after we reset the router. I also own a desktop PC, i bought a wireless adapter for it and surprise even the PC sees our wireless connection,,even my mobile phone,every other device except my laptop.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x 64
Dell Inspiron 1564 core i3 , 2gb RAM ddr3, Intel GMA 4500mHD

Please help me fix this problem, i would like to know if its a hardware problem or a router problem ! I`m going insane!

Best regards,
Sergiu

Try to reset the router to factory settings and download the latest firmware upgrade for your router from the support section of d-link website. But its really a strange problem. Did you change your ISP?

I will reset the router and try to upgrade it to the latest firmware. I did not change the ISP. Another thing i forgot to mention is that a friend of mine who came by a couple of weeks ago also encountered the same problem. He was using just like me a DELL laptop. We had to wait in order to see the wireless network.
I will let you know what happens after reseting the router.
