mkgupta0491,
Please continue with DELL-Ravi Ch
If I'm reading this correctly, you are connecting but then loose the connection and it does not reconnect, correct? If yes, then try these tweaks....
Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your network adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.
Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.

Hi mkgupta0491,
Please enable ‘Connect automatically when this network is in range’ feature in the wireless card properties.
Please let me know if this helps.

Hi mkgupta0491,
I would suggest you to delete the wireless network under ‘Manage wireless networks’ and reconfigure the network by adding it. You can find ‘Manage wireless networks’ under ‘Network and Sharing Center’.

mkgupta0491,
When you reinstalled the operating system, did you install the Dell System Software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Start with the Dell System Software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.
If the above is correct, then I would download the drivers for the adapter and save them to your desktop.
Make a system restore point.
Go to device manager, network adapters, right click on your adapter, left click uninstall. Tell it to remove the software and drivers.
Restart your computer.
When you login, the new hardware wizard will try to install the adapter, but fail. Install the drivers you saved to your desktop.
Now you'll have to manually connect, make sure the box is checked, connect to this network automatically.
What happens?
Virus program and firewall you're using?

Hi there... I too just purchased a Latitude E6440 (i7, Windows 7 OS 64-bit, etc) and could not connect to my wifi router.
While looking thru this forum and grabbing at straws (even looking at wifi problems for OTHER models of laptops, etc.), I came across something that made sense to me, so I tried the solution and "lo and behold," it worked like a champ and connected the first time...
The person suggested that Bluetooth may be interfering with the connection and also mentioned the power saving feature might, too, be an issue with this device...
Heck, I am even now using the wifi to submit this to you,,, sooo, here is the solution:
My wireless adapter in the E6440 is a Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235...
In device manager find your wireless adapter, double click to get the "properties" sheet for the device.
You will see tabs on this page, so first click the "Power Management" tab and then 'clear' or 'uncheck' the checkbox marked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
Next, click the "Advanced" tab to get another list of properties to check... you will see two (2) boxes--one marked "Property:" with a list of stuff inside (about 10 or 12 items listed) and a smaller box to the right of that property box marked "Value:"
Find the property in the list called "Bluetooth" something and click it to highlight it. In the "value" box, change the value to "Disabled" and then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the property page.
I can't tell you WHICH of the TWO changes I made actually made the darn thing work, but when I unplugged my ethernet cable to get the wireless icon in the system tray so I could connect, it was only a matter of seconds after I entered the security key before I had a connection... woo hoo!!
Hope this helps all those people out there who are having similar "connection to router" problems...
Gail
Now, if anyone has a solution to a USB 3.0 port not being recognized (only 1 of my 3 not recognized), then I'd appreciate a shout out... thanks

I have a Dell Latitude E7440 running Windows 7 and I had the same problem. After following http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/79992-windows-7-does-not-connect-automatically-wireless.html by adding LOCAL SERVICE to the Security Permission tab for C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc, the problem was resolved.
