Hi,

Recently just bought a Dell Inspiron 3520 Laptop with Windows 8 Preinstalled,


My problem is that with any Wi-Fi network that is connected, after a time shows limited connection, and I have to power cycle the wireless card, or in some cases restart Windows,


Can you help me please?

    Hi adannoriega,

    Please let us know which wireless card is installed on the system. Also, kindly check the system ins safe mode with networking by following the steps below:

    Checking in Safe Mode in networking:

    Keep tapping F8 key on the keyboard while starting the system at Dell logo.

    It will take us to a different screen called Windows Advanced Options.

    On this screen only keyboard will function so you need to use arrow keys to scroll through the options and enter key to select the highlighted option. Highlight Safe mode with networking and Hit enter.

    Hit enter to select Windows version you are using.

    And your system will boot up once you are on the Desktop check the wireless connection for some time and let us know if issue persists.

    Thanks and Regards

    Finally I figured out what was the problem! The Bluetooth card generates a conflict with the wireless card, and that's what this is used to disconnect or show limited connectivity after a while, to fix it you need to disable the bluetooth card, and wait for Dell provide another solution.

    Hi enriquegl,

    I would request you to kindly connect the system using ethernet cable in order to download the driver completely. Then, you can install the same and use wireless again.

    Alternatively, you can download the driver from a different system and then transfer the file to the affected system. Then, you can install it and ensure if the issue has been resolved.

    Thanks and Regards
