Wi Fi stopped working on my Dell Inspiron 3147 2-in-1
Today the Wi Fi has stopped working on my Inspiron 3147 2-in-1. Internet works fine right now on the desktop and laptop we have in the house so I know the wireless router works o k but it stopped working on Inspiron 3147. I have tried 'function and PRNT SCR keys' because there is no switch on that computer to turn wireless on or off and looks like it is set for on, I checked settings and 'Airplane mode is off' '. I have used my other computers today looking at the on-line manuals and quick start guide info for the Inspiron 3147 but these do not help me. I use Windows 8 and did not upgrade to Windows 10 yet on the Inspiron 3147. What do you think is wrong ? Please help me. It is now about 1:00 AM our time so I am falling asleep trying to fix this.
