We also need to know if yours is a 2.4 GHz "g" or "n" WiFi card. Your system may only have an 2.4 GHz WiFi card that can't connect to the 5GHz "ac" channel on your router. Dual band wireless ac 3165 not connecting windows#(Do NOT post your Service Tag number here.) And also mention your version of Windows probably right. The Support page will give you the exact model number which you should post here. But the speedtests are completely different.ĭo you have the original Inspiron 3000 desktop from ~7-8 years ago or a model in the more recent Inspiron 3000 desktop series? If you don't know, go to Dell's Support page and insert your Service Tag number which should be on a sticker attached to the PC. The operation of the desktop seems to be similar if not identical. 5MB and would not go back to the previously seen 50MB/sec no matter what I tried. I then tried to reset the system and low and behold, the Oookla test remained the same, i.e. No matter what I did with I could not get the desktop to record anything better than 5MB. So I tried all the others items on my network, iphone, ipad, laptop and these are all fine, i.e. Dual band wireless ac 3165 not connecting download#After the installation, the upload speed is the same but the download speed is showing on Ookla as 5MB/sec. I had been getting ~50MB/sec download and ~20 MB/sec upload. I have connected the desktop to the 5G range on the router.Īfter I put this in I ran an Ookla speedtest. This was primarily to increase the coverage for my Dell Inspiron 3000 desktop. Hope you get this figured Saturday I put in a TP-Link AC1750 Universal Dual Band Range Extender. And again that 30% off the outlet price, what more can I say. I'm not complaining because these speeds I get can handle most anything. I think Dell is putting 10/100 cards in these boxes, but I need to verify that. Anyhow my ACER is set to 5 Ghz and I usually get close to my 175 Mbps when I'm connected in my basement studio, 15 feet from the Xfinty modem.Īnother interesting note is when I connect to ethernet I can't get much more than Wifi. At first I was upset but then I remembered these are budget boxes and a dollar here and there will add up in high volumes. This is when I discovered Dell ships these with a 2.4 Ghz card. I got it in and noticed right away Wifi speed around 25Mbps, so I went through the settings following advice from this forum and got it up 60-70 Mbps, which still not up to my cheap ACER laptop or 10 yr old HP Pavillion. Dual band wireless ac 3165 not connecting Pc#I know I was buying a budget PC and wasn't paying attention to all the details except the CPU, RAM and drives. I recently bought a 3670 and I got this at the outlet store for 30% off, couldn't pass up that deal. :Yes: However, if the signal quality to an AP/router that is further away remains good the client may not roam to a nearer AP/router, or may not roam immediately.I don't have a solution for you but I'm assuming you have the PC connected to 5Ghz? Is there anyway it could be defaulting or something back to 2.4 Ghz? Changes in the signal quality are monitored by the adapter to determine whether a roam should occur. The roaming is based on signal quality rather than distance to an AP/router. The behavior also aids in conserving battery power consumption. The roaming behavior is designed to increase the efficiency of the Wi-Fi network by minimizing unnecessary data traffic. If your Wi-Fi network has multiple APs/routers, the client adapter can roam (automatically select and switch to another AP/router) from one AP/router to another. In most cases, this behavior is normal and expected.
