Venue 11 Pro wifi issues

Hello everyone,

I bought a used Venue 11 Pro and I can't seem to get wifi working. (I know..just the club). Its a Win10 build (64bit).

I had trouble finding the right Dell drivers so I got the Intel drivers and when I ran the .exe on the tablet it said there was no wifi hardware. I'm hoping someone has some new suggestions. I tried to make a UEFI boot disk with a 32bit Windows but I could never get the drive to boot?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Hi Skorpyo60,

    I'll send you a private message requesting your service tag so I can check the model number and spec of the tablet and then advise further.

    Hi Skorpyo,

    I have looked at your service tag info and see the system was shipped with both a wireless card (DW1538) and a mobile broadband card (DW5808E)

    Does the system connect to a network via 3G/4G?

    Do you have the wireless enabled in the BIOS?
    To do this, access the BIOS by powering on the tablet whilst holding down the Volume Down(-) button.
    Navigate down to Wireless in the menu.
    Ensure all three options are ticked (WWAN / WLAN / Bluetooth) 
    Click apply and then exit

    Have you enabled Airplane mode within Windows?

    Here is the link to the correct wireless card driver, what happens when you try to install that one?

    Hi Alan

    First of all thanks for the help. When I try to install the driver you linked it says it wont work on my platform. Also I do not have a wireless card listed in device manager only a cellular card. I'm hoping you have another idea. I read somewhere about getting the wifi driver from Intel but I'm was not able to find correct one as the one I tried also didnt work? Any suggestions? I would not mind doing a clean install but I have trouble getting the venue to boot from the USB

    Hi Skorpyo, 

    I'm wondering if the wireless card has failed if it is not being detected. That driver should have installed as it is the official Dell packaged one. Did you check the BIOS settings I mentioned in my last message to ensure all wireless devices are enabled? 

    I wasn't able to view those attached photos, could you send them by private message to see if that works instead.

    Also, what happens when you try to boot from USB, at what point in the install process does it fail? Do you get any error messages?

    Wireless Bios settings are ok and tried with the wifi+bluetooth driver from dell support and got the same error message.

    Any advise?

    Thanks,

    I have one of the first models of the Dell Venue 11 pro. My model has integrated wireless. It works about 1% of the time. Do you have any suggestions? I have checked the bios , and updated the driver. Still nothing. I opened up the tablet and found an empty space where a wireless card should fit.

    I have exactly the same problem.

     

    The filename of the file to download suggests the driver to be for a 32 bit platform, but the content of the page indicates a 64bit platform.

    When I try to install the drivers, this is part of the log for the failed installation:
