Dell Inspiron 7520 Wireless Driver

Question

Hello I have a Dell Inspiron 7520 Laptop with Windows 7 operating system and I can't install the wireless network driver. I try the solutions from http://en.community.dell.com/search/searchresults.aspx?q=7520%20wireless&sort=default&wps=5&PageIndex=5 but still nothing. The problem with the wireless driver is after I update the BIOS to A09 version. Thanks in advanced.

I noticed the SM Bus Controller displaying also you should reinstall the Chipset Drivers and the Card Reader first.

Once they are done, install the following driver. Your card is the Intel Centrino N2230 and this should be the Dell Driver: http://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER00331202M/3/BLE_Intel_W74_A00_Setup-HW8J4_ZPE.exe

You may also try the driver direct from Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=3507&DwnldID=22495&lang=eng&iid=dc_rss

Hi emilcincin,

I would suggest you to run test on Wireless network card using Dell PC Diagnostic. To download Dell PC Diagnostics you can click the link mentioned below:

If the test pass, let me know which of the following wireless card is in the system:

D1703 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Half Mini Card
1704 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Half Mini Card
1901 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Half Mini Card
Intel® 2230 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Half Mini Card
Intel® 6150 WiFi / WiMAX Half Mini-Card

If the wireless has stopped working recently, I would suggest you to perform system restore which may fix the issue. Please click the link mentioned below to perform system restore:

Note: System Restore will remove the applications installed on the computer after the restore point.

Thanks & Regards

Hello On Dell PC Diagnostic I don't have a wireless network card and I don't know how to see the model of the wireless if is not installed. In the Device Manager I have a 'Network Controller'. Thanks
