Wireless not automatically connecting - Latitude E7470
Hi there,
We have over 200+ Dell Latitude E7470 and E7270 series laptops. They are all running Windows 10 Enterprise. I've noticed an odd issue when rebooting or starting up laptops, the wireless is not automatically connecting (see below screenshot) to the network. This is happening in all locations work or home. It connects fine after a few minutes on the logon screen, just seems like odd behavior.
I've checked the wireless is set to "connect automatically when in range" and the adapter is set to maximum performance in power settings.
All device drivers are up to date and Windows is fully patched.
Has anyone come across this or ideas how to resolve?
Cheers
Craig

I got my wi-fi connecting automatically on boot.
After making following changes:
I have both LAN and wi-fi connections.
My Lan connections were plugged into a different router.
On the network menu the lan appeared as network 2
and the wi-fi list was below showing available routers
I uninstalled, deleted, the lan network.
Restarted computer
now prior to logon the network icon appears as radio waves with an X through it
the X promptly vanishes.
Without clicking on this icon I just logon.
Now the wi-fi is connected automatically.
So far so good.
My next step is to plug the ehthernet cables into my main router and enable lan
and see what happens. (this would be the normal hookup)
The setup I had worked except that I had to connect wi-fi manually for each boot.
Created my own problem!

Have this issue on various models of Dells. About 2-3 out of every 20. Haven't found a solution.
Have tried disabling Power Management, updating drivers, etc.. These are freshly imaged.
Dell 6420/6430/6520/6530/6540/6440
Currently Intel-6205 card in the 6530 I have in office. Have had this issue since Windows 1607 at least. Can't remember if 1511 had the same behavior.
They are fine once connected, but once they are restarted, then it might or might now reconnect. Right now Windows 10 1809. Have used 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, and now 1809.
