Hi sachin agarwal,

I am sorry for the delayed response; currently there is no windows 8 driver for Dell 1701 card we have escalated this issue to our Engineering team once we get an update will keep you posted. However, you can try updating the drivers from the device manager. Please follow the steps below.

In the windows 8 user interface please type in device manager > under the network adapter select the wireless card right click and click on update drivers, also you can do a complete windows update in the system and this will help you fixing this issue.

Waiting for the Drivers. Thank You

Hi All ,

I am facing same issue here and that still remains un solved . I am having a genuine copy on Windows 8 Enterprise 64 Bit, All drivers have been updated including BIOS. There is no driver for Windows 8 32 Bit available too. Chipset drivers ain't available for Windows 8. This is sure a compatibility issue. Dell Support Team has to work on the same.

it works fine for large downloads also
