This is apparently a common problem (i.e. a bug) with systems that are set up this way, very possibly from other vendors besides Dell. I found this page advising disconnecting internet for this step as a way to get past it; however I don't know what ripple effects this might have during other steps, e.g. activating Windows. Presumably this happens AFTER the system requests a Wi-Fi network? One idea might be connecting your system to your router with an Ethernet cable before setup, just to get past this step.
