Windows Vista Business Slow Network Access on Dell XPS M1330

Apr 19, 2008 Support Tips

I found that the wireless network access on this notebook is slow. I started using this notebook since last 2 weeks and it really annoying as me when the network drops every few seconds. After trying all sorts of methods and upgrading the drivers, finally I found out what was wrong. (Yes, I don’t give up without a fight)

It is the problem with the bluetooth adapter and the wireless adapter. Just by disabling the bluetooth adapter, I’m able to get back the full speed to my wireless network. you can’t turn it off using the switch because in Dell XPS, the bluetooth control and wireless control comes in the same switch. You could turn off the bluetooth device via the icon on the tray or inside Device Manager.

Turn off Bluetooth
Disable via Tray Icon

However, this surely is not a desirable solution. What if I would want to use both bluetooth and wireless together? Argh.. I hope Dell will come out with a solution soon.

Well, I’ve spent hours trying to figure out this, so I hope those who have the same problem will be able to solve.
