This often has nothing to do with the modem, and more to do with the proper setup for your wireless card. <br>Frankly, the OS does not care what modem / wireless point you uses, all that communication is standard.<br><br>
Does your dell have the Intel Wireless card? If not I THINK it is a broadcom card, and we would need to get the restricted driver for those running to get wireless with WPA / WEP working. <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
