[Hidden-tech] Problem with wireless adapter

[Aaron E-J]

A few things to try,
1. is there a physical button on the laptop that looks like a stick with 
curved lines radiating from it? Try pressing that if there is - I've had 
a similar experience and, after trying everything under the sun, I tried 
that and it miraculously fixed everything.
2. if it doesn't or they're no button, try going to the Dell website and 
entering your serial # in the support section. They should have a list 
of all the drives and firmware uptates.
3. if that doesn't work, update windows to v10, I think it is free, it 
was for v8.
Hope that helps
