Dell Cares: I would request you to check support assist periodically to check drivers update.

The above is what I received from Dell Support when I asked them to notify people in Dell Chat that are having this problem. I guess they don't have a way of doing this. They also do not notify Dell owners that they should check support assist for driver and system updates. If I had known this when I first started having the WiFi driver problem it would have saved me a lot of hassle. 

Thank you for your feedback. We will pass on your suggestion to our product engineer team to improve our support through Applications.

My issue was solved by using the links that Dell Support provided to update the BIOS and Wi-Fi drivers. This is a problem with the Dell hardware. 

approach one-

1. device manager -> network adapter -> wireless ac xxxx
2. uninstall device (also select the checkbox to delete the driver software from machine)
3. download in separate computer

4. now transfer the downloaded driver to the machine with network issue
5. double click and install the driver
6. shut down and restart

if wifi list still empty another approach-

1. device manager -> network adapter -> wireless ac xxxx
2. uninstall device
3. find a lan cable
4. directly attach it with your machine and router
5. once you can browse internet, remove the cable

Thank you. This was the only suggestion that worked. The key is the shut down versus restart.

Hi, I found an interesting fix that worked on all DELL models that had the problem with wireless. Access the BIOS, go to the connections menu and disable the option "Enable UEFI Network Stack", restart the notebook and see if it worked.

Thank you very much, this solved my issue.

Tested in a Dell Vostro 14 3000 (

This did not work for me. I have attempted restart and complete power off. My boyfriend was doing work on the computer and the wifi just stopped working and on devicer manager network adapters my wireless network is showing the code 10
