However, in this case, someone from Microsoft replied and suggested installing the driver using a compatibility mode. I keep searching for solutions and end up on a different support thread related to a Dell 1505 WLAN card, with similar suggestions about using older drivers, and similar issues with compatibility checks not permitting the install.

Unfortunately it would not install on my current Windows 10 install. However, one other post in that thread suggested you should try the Dell R260737 driver package for this card it’s a Windows Vista driver, but apparently as of 2016 you could install it in Windows 10. I did flip between that and the Broadcom-branded driver, no change in performance or visible options. Unfortunately my new install of Windows 2010 doesn’t offer more than one Dell-branded option.

One suggestion was to use device manager and choose between multiple drivers for this card a 2009 version, 2012 version, and Broadcom-branded version.

Similar symptoms someone upgraded to Windows 10 and their 1510 WLAN card went from a supposed 10 Mbit to 1/2 Mbit.

Pinging even the default gateway was showing about 80% packet loss, and responses I did get were seeing anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds latency. I know Windows updates are ridiculous, but 12 hours?! I discovered it appeared to be a networking issue.

I bought a copy of Windows 10 Pro (since Home stupidly doesn’t come with BitLocker) to replace the Win7 that was installed, and did the install.Īfter install, Windows Update had been running for 12 hours and still hadn’t finished installation.

I figured it’s not a bad device even though it’s 8+ years old 2.4 GHz dual core CPU, 8 GB of memory, a 300 GB SSD that I had put in it at some point, 1920×1200 WUXGA screen, nearly every port you can imagine minus HDMI, and a DVD burner. I found an old Dell Precision Workstation Laptop M4400 and decided to wipe it out and prep it to donate to a local charity. Not sure if anyone will ever actually find this article useful, as we’re dealing with ancient technology here, but I figured I’ll write it out just in case.
