Please share the system model and operating system installed. Follow the below mentioned steps which might help:

• Update the Wireless driver using the 'Intel Driver Update Utility' from the link http://intel.ly/m7tqmV. Restart the system and check connectivity.
• Also, update the BIOS. Here are the steps:
  
  
  • Click on the below link: http://dell.to/QjjZDA
  • Enter the Service Tag of your system and select the operating system.
  • Go to 'BIOS' and click on the BIOS available.
  • Click on 'Download File'.
  • Select 'For Single File Download via Browser'.
  • Click on 'Download Now'.
  • Save the BIOS on your desktop.
  • Once the BIOS is downloaded on the desktop, right click on it and select 'Run as administrator'.
  • Follow the prompts on screen and restart your computer.

Note: Make sure the ac adapter is connected and the battery is charged 10% or above to update the BIOS. Also, disconnect all the external peripherals before updating the BIOS. All the programs should be closed and documents saved.

• Power cycle router and modem. Power off router and modem for 2 minutes. Restart the computer. Power on the router and try connecting.
• Run below MS Fixits using wired connection from the following links:
  
  
  • Automatically diagnose and fix common security setting on Windows - http://bit.ly/HPsyBy
  • Winsock Reset - Fix it: http://bit.ly/mtPWPu
  • If no internet connection available; Run command "Netsh Winsock reset" in command prompt.
    
    
• Check if wireless is working in Safe mode with networking. If yes, check the security software for firewall issues.
• Try to connect to any other available network in range. If works fine, issue might be with router.
• Try connecting to any 'Unsecured Network' or removing security from your wireless connection and check.

Hope this helps. Please reply if you have any questions.

 Awaiting your response.

Have the same/a similar issue on the Dell Inspiron 4010--no true fix has been posted by Dell for anyone reporting issues connecting with the DW1501 card. 

Also, regarding the "suggested solution"  above, if his system isn't connecting, how would he restart and click on a link? Probably gave up after reading that... Just saying.
