Dell wireless adapters

[the_one_that_cant]

Has anybody been unlucky enough to buy a dell 760 with Dell's own wireless adapter bundled in?

One of my schools have had 8 installed, and not one will correctly stay active on wireless. Its very tempermental, 9 out of 10 times it will not connect, and the one time it does, it works perfect until a reboot. I have tried to manage it with dells own software, but seem to have more luck using the windows wireless manager. The adapters are aprox 6cm x 6cm x 2cm , black with a grey trim around the edges. No model number present on the box, only a serial number. I have been on Dell's website to look at troubleshooting guides, but cannot find anything relating to the adapter I have. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Forgot to say the existing wireless setup works perfectly with the existing staff laptops, so changing the settings would be too much hassle. The os's in question are XP pro.

 

Driver details : 1505 Draft 802.11n

 

I am thinking is because of the 'N' band it runs on.
