Need driver for wireless network card

The Emachines EL1358 has a wired LAN connection. To add a wireless connection, you need an USB wireless network adapter or an add-on wireless network adapter card. The internal card options may depend on exactly which EL1385 model you have. The EL1385G-51W has a PCIe x16 and a PCIe x1 slot. The card will probably need a low-profile bracket to fit in the case. (If both slots are in use, you'd need to remove one of the cards and replace it with the wireless adapter.) See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/391363/Emachines-El1358.html for information on adding a card to the desktop.

Check that the card has a driver for your machine's OS version. (The EL1358 came with Windows 7. Windows 10 x64 requires signed drivers, if you upgraded to that OS version.) Follow the directions for the wireless adapter to determine if you need to install the drivers before connecting the USB adapter or installing the card. If there is no CD or USB flash drive with the adapter packaging, you will need to either download the driver files at another computer or use the wired LAN connection to obtain the drivers. (Use the wired LAN to connect to your WAN or router to obtain the drivers if they come from Windows.)

Once the drivers are installed, then you can enable the wireless connection. For several versions of Windows, go to the Control Panel. Find the section on Networking. Choose Connect to a Network. See if your wireless network SSID is listed. If needed, go to the Network and Sharing Center. Then find and click on the link for Set up a new network connection. You may need to Manually connect to a wireless network if the SSID of the wireless network is not being broadcast.

I hope this helps.

(note: slight differences exist in the placement of the network control panel options between Windows versions. I usually can find which one I want but have to poke around at times.)

If your printer was connected wireless to your system prior to changing internet provider, you may need to reset your printer's wireless network adapter first and then reconfigure it to reconnect to your new wireless network.

Go into 192.168.1.254, then go to "Home network", then "Wireless settings" put your network name in the blank box.

I experienced this same problem on a friend's AT&T 2WIRE 2701HG-B router. The primary computer used WinXP,sp3; I added a laptop, WinXP,sp3 and a Macbook Pro w/ Leo OS v11, successfully.

How to resolve the issue (rather, how I resolved this issue):

From the desktop computer, connected to 2WIRE:

1) Open a browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254. This site will automatically detect your settings and provide the necessary info., required to set up your wireless network.

NOTE: NTWK information/settings for THIS router can NOT be retrieved via traditional methods. Ignore all other information that assigns a name to your network and/or password. Follow only this wizard, for success in setting up your wireless connection.

2) Verify that your Firewall and System settings are correct and up-to-date. If not, update your software by pressing the link on the right.

3) Click the Home Networking tab (at top of page):

Locate @ the right of your screen, "Status at a Glance".
Under "Home Network", verify:
"Ethernet = x"; (where x = $1)
"Wireless = 0" (ZERO IS OKAY!)

("Zero" will change to "1, 2, 3, etc.," upon successful connection of ea. new wireless device(s) added to the NTWK).

* Once a new wireless device is initially and successfully connected to the NTWK, the LCD wireless indicator of the router will illuminate green.

4) Under "Wireless Settings":

NOTE, the network name. This is the name (of Network) that you will use to connect your wireless device(s).

The default password is the 10-digit number [in brackets] displayed on the sticker, located on the bottom of the router (directly above the UPC code, below the SN).

5) Click "Edit Settings":

In the DEVICE YOU ARE ADDING, click or type in the name of NTWK, as stated under "Wireless Settings". Next, type in the 64-bit WEP password (10-digit number displayed on the sticker, located on the bottom of the 2WIRE router).

6) Click "Verify your Home Network".

Verify the wireless device you added is displayed and has been added to the NTWK.
The Ethernet setting should still remain = 1 (or however many devices are connected to the INET via wire) and Wireless should = 1 (or more, if +1 device has been added).
NOW, the wireless LED shall be glowing the same pretty green, as all the other indicators on the router! You are now connected. Congratulations!

Hi

I think your Operating System (OS) software installed after formatting does not have drivers for the wireless network card.

You did not provide any clues about the OS and the Network (Model/Brand) installed.

Dell Inspiron 6000 did ship with Windows XP as the Default OS and Dell Wireless 1350, 1370, 1450,1390, 1490, and 1500 series Mini Card or Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG, 2915ABG Wireless LAN Mini Cards as options

First, check the Original System Configuration to find out the built specification of the Inspiron 6000.
Enter you system tag. Click on the Original System Configuration Tab. Check the factory built specification and note the Wireless Card installed from the factory. If you have not changed or upgraded the Wireless Card, download and install the drivers from the list below.

Dell Wireless 1350, 1370, 1450,1390, 1490, and 1500 series Mini Card Drivers
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG / 2915ABG Wireless LAN Mini Card Drivers

I am almost sure you will need drivers for the Chipset, onboard network and video.
Intel Mobile Chipset
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller Driver v.4.25
Video (as above check the factory spec if you ordered the ATI MobilityRadeon X300)
Intel Graphics Video (onboard) Driver v.6.14.10.4609
ATI MobilityRadeon X300 Driver v.8.162-050803a2-025823C

Let me know how you get on.

Mike
