When you reinstalled the operating system, did you install the Dell system software and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Start with the Dell system software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.
Welcome to the Community, as mentioned in your post if a system is reformatted than after the Operating system reinstallation is done most of the time the drivers are not automatically installed so you need to reinstall the drivers manually.
Make need to make sure that the wireless adaptor is enabled in the BIOS. And also make sure that it’s switched on by using the (fn/fn+f2)
And also make sure that you download the right drivers for the wireless adaptor. Try this link (http://dell.to/IpTyKf ) this link will take you to the dell support site where it will ask you the service tag for the system punch in the service tag and all drivers for the system will pop up. Download them and install the one by one.
OR
Download software called SLIMDRIVERS from (http://bit.ly/NyVmo6) and install it and it will tell you exactly what hardware drivers needs to be installed.
