Dell 5520, Updated to Windows 8, Lost Wi-Fi Controls

I bought a Dell Inspiron 15R, Model 5520 with Windows 7.  Everything worked fine and I had Wi-Fi access. 

I updated to Windows 8, but now I don't have Wireless access.  I've opened the PC Settings and confirmed that Airplane Mode is turned off and Blue-tooth is turned on.  I don't have any other settings on that screen.  I used the Fn & F2 keys and confirmed that the Wi-Fi light on the front of the laptop turned off and then back on. 

A wired connection works fine.  When I ran the troubleshooting for a new network, no routers are listed although I know there are multiple routers available to my other laptop and my eReader devices.  How do I access my Wi-Fi controls.

I've also read the conversation at http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-internet-wireless/f/3324/p/19487956/20366485.aspx#20366485 ...

now i wan you to tell me the correct order of installing drivers for my laptop...

uzstriker,

 

The order to install the drivers is important. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order

 

You installed the Intel Chipset Driver followed by Intel Management Engine Interface Driver and Realtek Card Reader Driver


Go to Dell Warranty Status enter your service tag, click on original configuration. Look and see which wireless adapter you have installed. The go to Drivers & Downloadsenter your service tag, select your operating system. Under network download and install the network adapter. The download and install Dell Quickset Application

 

Places to look to see if your Connection is enabled
