NETWORKING PROBLEM
Hi,
I recently purchased DELL INSPIRON 3537, i5 4th gen,, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard disk with Windows 7 x64 OS. In Windows OS, the wireless (WIFI) was working without any problem.
I format tried to re-install Windows 7 x64 on this laptop using driver available from DELL Support website , the Wireless Network card is not load the driver.
The driver used by me is DELL Driver for WIFI Dell Wireless 1705 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Driver The laptop gives error message at the end of driver loading update the driver .
All other DELL drivers given in the DELL support website are loaded except this WIFI driver. I also tried various other driver for Qualcomm Atheros AR956X Wireless, but I could not succeed. It is really surprising that the Driver given in their website is not working.
Device manager
Device instance path is below
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_020C1028&REV_01\4&2247C803&0&00E3
please help

Post makes no sense. Did you mean--Computer came with windows 8, not windows 7? Why are you formatting and reinstalling the same OS on a new computer? That driver is for windows 8, not windows 7. There is no win 7 driver for the 1705 that I could find. Win 7 uses the 1703 card.
Best thing to do is use Factory Reset to return to factory settings if you did not format the recovery partitions. You might have to get help from Dell Support to restore to factory settings or reinstall the correct operating system.
