Assuming you are using Windows 7, connect to your wireless network, click the signal bars, right click your wireless connection and select properties. Select the Connection tab and make sure
Connect automatically when this network is in range is selected.
If you are trying to connect to a free WiFi network site try the Airport. Macdonalds, Starbucks etc. The wireless networks in your area are most likely private wireless networks and if you find one within wireless range you most likely cannot connect into this network without the owner's permission because the connection will be encryption protection (they would need to give you this encryption key).
The range expander helps to extend the range of wireless network... Anyhow the range expander has to be placed withing the range of your Apple "wireless" router (Make sure your apple router is wireless router, if it is a wired router, then there is no use of range expander...! U need to buy an Access Point instead)... your range expander must be connected to the computer(using an ethernet cable) from which you are trying to configure... Site survey searches for the available wireless networks in range... It should show your existing wireless network... You need to select your appropriate network and you need to configure the Range expander wireless settings according to the Apple router's wireless settings... exactly the same SSID(Network name), Security type and encryption technique, password PSK (security key) has to be selected on your range expander as in the APPLE wireless router... Thats it... You are done... Your wireless network range would have extended now....
plz chk out the range of the router and give a static ip on the comp in the range of router ipaddresses and then try to reconnect. I am sure you will be connected.
gud luck
thanx and regards

I assume you want to stop vista from automatically connecting to wireless networks other than yours.......try this:
Open Network and Sharing Center, click Manage wireless networks, click on your "home" network & make sure that Connect automatically when this network is in range is checked. Now do the same for any other connection that is listed but uncheck the Connect automatically when this network is in range.
Go to Start > Network > Network and Sharing Center
click Manage network connections under 'Tasks'
Right-click Wireless Network Connection
Select Properties.
In the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialogue box, click the
Wireless Networks tab.
Select other wireless network like "Y5ZONE", "PCCW" and click Properties
Click Connection tab
Uncheck the box "Connect when this network is in range"
hi,
welcome to fixya.com
yes offcourse ur dell inspiron 5100 laptop support wireless connection,and it will detect the wireless connection in ur computer,uninstall and reinstall the wireless driver and then try and connect to wireless connection,and what u can do is that reset the router and then try and connect to wireless network it will definately connect..and it will also detect the wireless signal also........good luck
make sure that your wireless or wifi light is on,you may try to press Fn and F2 at the same time to enable or swith on wireless..if wifi is already on,try going to start >> control panel >> network connections,go to wireless network connection and double click it, it will give you a list of wireless network,or right click and then "view available wireless network", if you get an error that windows cannot configure wireless connection,go to start >> all programs >> loo for either dell wlan utility or intel pro wireless, by opening that app,it will also search for wireless network in range,just double click on the network name where you want to connect and you sould be connected provided that "wireless network" doesnt have encryption like wpa or wep key..if your connecting to your home network,you should have wireless router at home and wireless is enabled on the router.
