Dell Inspiron 130 wireless connection problems

I have Verizon Fios and a Dell Insprion 130 laptop that will not connect.
When I try to connect, it keeps searching for a wirless connection.
I don't know if I need to have a wireless driver or wireless card..??

I would appreciate any advice....Thanks, Angie

Hi,

Welcome to the community

Is this inspiron B130? or Inspiron 1300? I am not seeing Inspiron 130 in our database.

Regarding your issue, you can check in Device Manager>Network Adapters if you have a wireless card installed. If yes, try to reinstall the driver, you can get it at www.Support.Dell.com

Let me know of the results,

Angie,

 

Please run an ipconfig /all log and post it back here.

 

What operating system is installed on the Inspiron B130? Elijah, I think it's the same as the 1300, I have one, still working(backup computer)

 

What virus program and firewall are you using?
