    Check your WiFi switch on the left side of the notebook.

    Are you talking about the one near the touch buttons or the one in the hinge.

    There is a thread running on the 2nd page as of now named " Studio owners: please press your wifi catcher!" check it out ... (Wow!! cant paste a link to a thread within this forum)

    It's the switch right about the HDMI slot. It turns off your WiFi.

    There is no supported channels for you location.

    1- Change it from control panel >> Regional and language (I prefer United states)

    2- Restart you computer

    If it didn't work, uninstall the wireless drive and Dell wireless wlan utility and install it again
