Have you tried turning on the wireless radio using the Fn F2 key combination?

Steve

Go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections.  Right click on the the wireless network connection.  If there is an option to enable the connection, click on it to enable.

Steve

There is no option to enable the connection through that path. I can repair the connection, which I am attempting, but it seems to get hung up. I can see my wireless modem on the list of local wireless networks available, but when I go to "link status" there is no link.

 

 

Somewhere on your computer there should be a diagnostics program for the wireless adapter (on mine it is under All Programs > Dell Wireless > Dell Wireless Utility).  Open the program and click on the diagnostics tab and run the tests.  Report back what you find.

All passed...could it be my wireless modem and not the PC card?

Have you tried using the reset button on the router/modem to see if that fixes it?

Steve

Yes, I reset the modem, which I'm using for my Ethernet connection, so it's working, but it does not appear as hardware on my system. The modem also shows full wireless capability. I've tried reinstalling the modem driver, but keep getting a message that the system cannot connect to the modem.

Do you have any wireless hotspots in your area?  If so, see if you can connect wirelessy at a hotspot.  If you can, then it will eliminate the wireless network card as the problem.

Steve

I reset my modem again and now the wireless connection is working fine. Thanks for the help.

I do have the same problem with Dell/Wireless 1350 PC card, how do I reset my modem.  Please advise and tnx.
