    My Inspiron 1545 used to connect to my office network using WIFI.
    Suddenly it stopped working, I can see a 'cross' on the top of the system tray. I also cannot connect to internet of course.
    My office router is working as I tried to use my phone connect to the WIFI successfully.

    So it is sure my laptop wireless card's problem.
    Any way to troubleshoot that or check the settings?

    I am running Windows 7 for few months. The wireless connection just failed recently.

    You can try removing the drivers from your laptop and reinstalling them from Dell's support page.
