XPS 13 Wigig Card and Dell Wireless Docking Station WLD15
hi,
i have recently purchased an xps 13 intel i7 16gb ram, i am very happy with my purchase (i just have some small problems with the video, and freezing, but updating the drivers do the work)
on my excitement, i buy a docking station wld15 and a S2415H monitor.
my service tag is: CB3C662
the docking station just arrived and i unpacked it as fast as i can, just to figure out that i cant use it because my xps does not have a wigig card. (or at least thats what i think, i download the wigig driver and i got a message: no wigig interface found)
so now i a little upset and confused on what is the best way to solve this, so if someone can advise me on this matter i would be eternally grateful.
a. is there a way to use the docking station via cable, o do i have to buy a wigig card for my xps 13?
b. if i have to buy a new wigig card, what is the correct model for my laptop?
c. the docking station has three ports for video
13. mini Display Port 14. HDMI Port 15. VGA Port
the monitor i bought has hdmi and vga port
what is the best option of cable to buy to connect the monitor? ( i had bought a display port to dvi, just to found it does not suit neither the docking station nor the monitor.)
well, i am very happy with my equimpent, but now i feel dissapointed, cause xps 13 is published with the wld docking station, then xps should have the wigig card on a regular basis.
thank you in advance.

hi,
well, i dont now if i miss-buy the model, in the page for xps:
http://www.dell.com/mx/empresas/p/xps-13-9350-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC
at the bottom appears a docking station just te same as wld, i dont now if its different or its not available yet, but as far as i remember, i bought the docking station from the webpage and from the xps accesories.
any suggestions?

The only docking station that I see for the XPS 13 is the Dell D3100.
The list of compatible laptops for the WLD15 is listed at http://www.dell.com/support/Article/us/en/04/SLN297279/EN
They are all Latitudes
