Hey guys,
I just got a brand new Dell 1564 laptop from PC World. (DELL Inspiron 1564 Black at cheap prices | PC World)
Was setting it up last night. So I've switched it on and ran through everything that's come up. I joined the wireless network named 'Simon'. This is the network that has been set up already via my old laptop. I use Virgin 20MB broadband and have a Netgear router. With my old laptop I had to set up Virgin Wireless software on it.
On this Dell one it picks up the network and I can access the net, but most of the time it's either pretty slow or connection times out.
I thought perhaps I needed to set up the Virgin wireless stuff on my computer but when attempting that it's unable to find my wireless adapter in the set up process which confuses me even more.
No idea what to do here. Frustrating getting a nice new laptop and the net connection is rubbish.
Appreciate some help.
