Problem: Can't connect to my home's wireless network. Facts: Computer: Dell Studio 1555 + OS: Windows 7 Home Pro Wifi Adapter: Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN (updated with latest Intel drivers) + Power settings: Disabled + Settings associated with wireless N disabled (due to g/b router) + Roaming Aggression: Lowest, Transmit: Highest, Wireless mode: 4 (b/g), Fat channel intolerant: Disabled, Mixed mode protect: CTS-self enabled + Multiple combinations of other settings attempted Router: D-Link 524 (rev A) (updated with latest firmware 1.23)(didn't work with previous firmware either) + Settings are in accordance with the recommended settings wiki. + Radio enabled, SSID: cahill, Channel: 6 (I had tried 1 and 11), SSID broadcast enabled + Security set to WPA-PSK (tried WEP as well), pass verified multiple times and used on multiple other devices (its my phone number comeon) + MAC filters disabled, UPNP disabled (enabled attempted) Router status: I can connect other devices in my home at least 50 ft away (without line of sight). I have 2 devices connected wirelessly right now (Chumby and another lappy). Adapter status: + The adapter finds many local networks (intermittently) even mine at varying strength levels. Attempts to connect to my network result in a request for my passkey (I've removed my network profile from wireless networks as recommended) which I type in, followed by 'Windows was unable to connect to cahill'.

+ Out of spite, while I was typing the last bullet, it connected from my couch (10 ft ish) at a ridiculously slow rate. As it is connected, signal strength fluctuates drastically with data transfer rate. Also, upon disconnection, which occured within a few minutes, my router restarted.

+ One other fleeting connection from 10 ft allowed me to run a speedtest at.20 MBps. The indicated strength was full and indicated speed by Windows was 54 MBps (which I expect due to the adapter's WPA/WEP performance restrictions and my routers max capability). + Attempts to connect to other networks (without security) in my neighborhood have failed.
