    Ok here is the deal. When I start the computer with the switch off and then switch it on it will work. But after I switch it off on the computer and then try to switch it back on, the graphic tells me it is turned on, but no connectivity nor does the blue wifi light come back on? Is anyone having this type of issue or should I be contacting Dell for this situation.

    It has happened numerous times. It will not let me turn it back on. I have also been thought the control panel and through Dell quickset to see if I can manually turn it back on. It does not work!

    Perhaps it's a problem with the driver, have you tried installing looking for new ones (ex. on Dell's site, intel etc.) and seeing if the problem still occurs?
