wifi network adapters
On my 3521 I have the same problem as many others with intermittent wifi connectivity. I my attempts to fix it I inadvertently deleted the driver for the first (Dell) network adapter and it now does not appear in Device Manager. Only the Realtek one is there.
Firstly how can I get it back?
Secondly is there a fix to get wifi to work reliably. Has Dell ever provided a solution?
Many Thanks for your help

Hello,
You can download missing drivers and apps from our Dell Support Pages. Input your service tag and the system will take you to the downloads page appropriate for your model.
When you say the "first (Dell) network adapter, are you referring to the wireless adapter? It not, and you're using the Intel wireless card option you may find that downloading the latest driver for the Intel card may help resolve connectivity issues. Not sure if we have the latest driver on our support sites yet or not (look for a version 17.xx driver ) but you can find it on the Intel Download and Support pages.
If you're still have connection problems you may want to take a look at the Dell Network and Wireless Support Center for help in resolving those issues.
