Normally: admin – Admin. If you change these characters, you should remember that.

On the settings page of your wireless card, you must enter this username and password.

This is the same if a person tries to enter your network.
Do not know the WEP encryption Key Setting or WPA encryption Key Setting.

Regards!

When you open up network connections, do you see the wireless connection icon?? If not go to dell website and download wireless driver for your computer.

You might need to update your drivers – both for your wireless card (from Dell or whoever’s site) and Windows which can be found here.

I know linksys for example has their own program and it will often interfear with and or disable straight wireless access from windows directly. I would recommend letting windows manage your wireless over the program from the manufacture. I would venture to gues Dell has some kind of program installed.
Thank you
