How to login to your wireless router and uses these Recommended Wireless Router Settings

Switch on side to press or try pressing Fn and F2 at the same time to turn the wireless card on. Should be an icon near clock or click start, connect to, network and connect from there.

 dino270,

Do you know which model number it is? Can possibly look at Drivers & Downloads and see if we can find a manual. The wireless card may have dies or is missing a driver.

Did you try reinstalling the operating system, by chance?

Dino270,

Go to Drivers & Downloads and click on find my service tag. It will ask you to do the agreement, then it will take you to a download page with your model and the drivers needed to your computer.

If it does not find your service tag number, it should be on a tag on the bottom of the computer or restart your computer and press F2 when you see the Dell Screen. Enter the BIOS and find your service tag number there. Do NOT post it here, just enter it at Drivers & Downloads

The only way you would be able to get broadband access to the Internet is to make use of the PCMCIA / PC Card slots.

Here's the spec. 

Are you sure you were able to get on the Internet?

If it only has Windows 98, you'd need a PCMCIA / PC Card Ethernet card that has Windows 98 drivers.

If it has Windows 98SE, you may be able to find PCMCIA / PC Card wireless card that has Windows 98SE drivers. It would be the slower 802.11B.

I am having the same problem....but I thought the wlan card was bad and got another and installed it.I also removed and re-installed the Intel Pro-Set drivers and software for this card. I still get the message that the radio switch is off and to turn it on. I have pressed Fn +F2 until I am blue in the face. I am not an ameture at this and still cant get the wireless back. I can hard connect . Any suggestions, there must be a method of turning this on.

The Latitude Cp is a very old laptop and does not have a WLAN card that you have in your more modern Latitude D620.
