    Dell inspiron 1564 connects to wifi but Internet still doesn't work

    Hello,

    I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Dell inspiron 1564. It has Broadcom 4312 and chip id 14e4:4315 rev 01.

    The laptop connects to the wireless but then the website won't load. It looks like it's trying to load but then an error pops up saying there is no internet connection. There are several bars in the wifi semi-circular arc symbol.

    I've re-installed b43-installer and b43-fwcutter. bcmwl-kernel-source is also installed. I tried removing it (as suggested in other threads but then it wouldn't connect at all so I put it back).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Hey there,

    I have a Broadcom 4315 and had the same problem. Rebooting my router fixed my issue. I didn't care enough to investigate why.

    Thanks,
