I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network with with the Dell wireless 1500 Draft N card. I'm using the Verizon Versalink 327w modem/router, and configured it according to the setup given earlier in the sticky, as well as resetted/rebooted everything multiple times. I am able to detect the wireless network, yet can never connect even without wep security code. It doesn't work when i'm using microsoft wireless config or the Dell wlan card utility. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.
I have an inspiron e1505 with Dell draft n + bluetooth if you need that.

You might want to check compatibility with the manufacturers and on D3ll forums. Draft N still doesn't guarantee backwards compatibility with any other networks or even other draft N networks.

I am having the same issue with the same type of laptop e1505 and same type of Network card... I have a NetGear RangeMax 240 Router and it would not connect to it either. I was on the phone with Dell Support for almost 3 hours and they decided that the "network card was not compatible" with my router. So the solution is for them to send me a card that is compatible. So... I went out and borrowed a different router from a friend... Linksys Wireless G SRX200, and the laptop would not connect to it either.
So I also took the laptop to a hotspot (Starbucks) and it connected to that network... no problem.
Please let me know if you have found out any more information.
