Inspiron 620 has no wireless - HELP
I bought this computer thinking it was wireless. It says it has Wireless-N capability. I can find no wireless in my network connections. I have a Netgear router and all my laptop, NOOK and cell phone have no problem connecting to this router. When I search in connections the only thing I see is a broadband connector, no "wired" showing in network.
How do I fix this so I can use my desktop as wireless?

I think you are confused.
"wired" networking is just that. it is network by connecting an Ethernet cable to your laptop
"wireless" is what you are after

The Ins 620 didn't have a wireless card as standard until very recently. Your wireless card will show up in Device Manager, Network Adapter. It will not show up in Network Connections until you set up your wireless connection in Network and Sharing Center,
