Hi,
My wireless signal strength indicator in the tray doesn't show anything even
when the signal is available and network is in range. In addition, when I
select to connect to the network in range, even though it's set to automatic,
it doesn't connect, and eventually dies trying.

This connection use to work properly until few days ago. I don't know what
I changed in the configure/advanced of the network card (Dell latitude WLAN
1350).

I tried changing the channel numbers between 6 and 11 and still doesn't
work. Router channel is at 11.

Any feedback or insight appreciated. I have wasted so much time already
trying to configure this thing back and it's very annoying.

Hi
Try to reconfigure your Wireless devices.
Wireless, Basic Configuration - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Config.html
Wireless Security - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Security.html
In General, you can debug the Network Settings of a computer by following
these steps.
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager.
Make sure that the Network Card drivers are installed correctly; i.e. there
is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost installation.

Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS:
http://www.ezlan.net/Installing#verify.
If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but
functionally it does not work.
Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and
or refresh the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
