    Hey all,

    Recently my wireless adapter for my laptop has just stopped working. I have tried the usual diagnostic tool to try and fix the issue and it is coming up saying its a driver issue. Now im not the best when it comes to finding drivers and working out what drivers i need to install in order to fix the issue.

    Any help in this would be appreciated as im on a holiday and using my phone as a hotspot is getting expensive...

    thanks

    You need to uninstall the driver from the device manager and download the latest one from DELL.com

    Which wireless card do you have?
