I am using an Encore Wireless Router in the upstairs portion of a home and the wireless signal reaches as far as the office downstairs but the the connection is very slow.
Just says the signal strength is low.
Is there a way strengthen the signal from the router or from the Linksys Wireless adapter on the computer its brand new.
Sorry this is a question 1a and 1b scenario.
I was under the impression that if you go to the Dell website, it's got some nifty widget that detects your system and tells you what you need.
The dell site has all the drivers for these machines in their support section.
Yes there sm bus controller driver dell optiplex 760 windows xp and I attempted to use this tool, however, it only provided me with the Ethernet Controller and Graphics card driver updates.
Not sure why it excluded this one in particular.
I'm not sure if this missing driver will have anything to do with the low signal strength I am getting from the wireless adapter, but that is the main problem I am facing.
That's the chipset driver, I've come across that a lot.
Edit: once you use the auto-detect tool, you'll need to switch to another machine and sm bus controller driver dell optiplex 760 windows xp switch back.
It won't let you view other drivers that aren't listed once you use the tool.
So it might be a parallel situation or completely unrelated.
Every time I need it I have to hunt it down again.
You might try this link and see if one sm bus controller driver dell optiplex 760 windows xp these drivers solves your issue.
Justin, are you using Windows 7 or windows xp on the workstation?
We have 755's here sm bus controller driver dell optiplex 760 windows xp sometimes not all of the drivers are listed in the right place.
Unfortunately it's probably not going to do anything for your internet speed.
We usually leave it uninstalled.
But you can get it from Dell's website.
Thanks again for all the responses folks.
I utilize some of the sites you've listed to locate this driver.
I miss typed the model earlier.
I will try downloading and installing some of these chipset drivers to see if this works and post back.
In cases like this, I'll download Drivermax and then let it find any unknown hardware.
It does a good job of recognizing the hardware and finding what you need.
The free license allows you, if I remember correctly, will allow you two driver downloads per day, unless they've changed this.
Side note on Drivermax - - where it really shines is performing complete driver backups and restores if you need to rebuild a computer.
Use the dell website, computer serial number and install drivers in the recommended order, which can also be found on the dell website If you go in device manager, click on the pci simple communications controller, go in property and then go in details.
Got to the following website and enter the Vender and Device code and it should tell you what the device is.
Simple communications could be Audio, Modem or even the security features on an Intel chipset.
If you cannot find the drive contact Dell support and they will take care of you.

Have you talked with Dell Support?
I agree with Owenmpk to some extent about over thinking this.
I provided a link directly to the model he needs with the entire chipset drivers.
We have about 2 dozen of these models around here, that's all it is.
Rafi is right, but that's a lot more work than whats needed.
My input to this thread was more of a general troubleshooting guide, if you ever get stuck not knowing what a driver is for.
You can very quickly find out, without installing any software.
Over thinking or not you all contribute to making this the best forum in the nation.
I should be able to utilize at least one of these solutions in the near future.
It is the system drivers.
Dell systems have a particular order in which the drivers need to be installed.
If you are reinstalling Windows or updating all drivers, it is important that this software be installed first.

Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
I hear that the 760 had some bad fans with the same problem.
I've had no luck contacting dell via email or chat I'll try calling them later this week.
Just wondering if anyone had any solutions other than those in the Question on the may be able to reduce fan noise: SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips.
SpeedFan can even access S.
SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise.
It works with Windows 64 bit too.
The fans can be quite loud at high speed.
Also there are two temperature sensors on the 960 that I am aware of.
If the cables to these sensors are disconnected or the sensors are damaged, the Dell hardware will run the fans at high speed as a protective failure mode.
You can change to Dell part no : R434D Thermal Sensor Cable or you can change only the electronic transistor 2N3904 which is the sensor.
You must to answer this question.
