Wi-fi driver problem
I recently installed a new windows 7 64-bit on my dell 15 inspiron 3537.
I installed all the drivers,and everything is working perfectly fine except for the wi-fi driver.
I have installed all the official wifi drivers from dell,but my laptop just won't connect to wi-fi.
What's wrong?

Best of luck,
OlyRIOOlyRIO,
Since I still don't see the wireless adapter you have, try this...
Download the following drivers and save them to your desktop.
***SPECIAL NOTE*** THE ADAPTERS LISTED BELOW WILL ONLY CONNECT ON 2.4GHz ONLY
Dell Wireless 1704 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Driver
Dell Wireless 1705 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Driver
After you save the drivers to your desktop, make a system restore point.
Start, control panel, device manager, network adapters, right click on your wireless adapter (It will be either Dell Wireless 1705 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHZ) or Dell Wireless 1704 WLAN Half Mini-Card), 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 for the wireless adapter you removed.
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.
(If you have the Dell Wireless 1704 WLAN Half Mini-Card...
Click on Advanced, look for Antenna Diversity. Change the Antenna Diversity from Auto to Aux.
Go to start > device manager > advanced > bandwidth capability > change to 20/40mhz)
Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.
Rick
OlyRIO,
If installing the drivers in the correct order and removing the adapter, using the instructions above, I would suggest that DELL-Shrikanth G assist you with your system.
It sounds like the drivers will not install.
Click on the blue DELL-Shrikanth G on the next page, send private message and please provide Shrikanth with the following information
First and last name
Service tag

What virus program and firewall are you using?
What do you see when you to...
Start, control panel, network and sharing center. Is there any connections listed there? Can you provide a screenshot of this area?
Manage wireless networks, remove all the wireless networks listed there.
