    Hi Landon,

    Welcome to the Community.

    Please let me know the operating system installed so that I can provide you the driver of the system.

    Meanwhile, you may perform system restore for the date the system was working properly. Please click the link mentioned below for more information on System Restore:

    http://dell.to/VRG2ad

    NOTE: System Restore will remove the applications installed after restore point however. It will not delete the data.

    Thanks & Regards
    Manshu S

    Hi Landon,

    Thank you for the reply.

    Please ensure that the wireless card is turned on before you open Hotspot Station.

    If the wireless is on and you are still facing the same issue, I would suggest you to update the drivers by clicking the link mentioned below:

    For Dell DW1506 WLAN : http://dell.to/ZcIuYD

    For Intel 2230 WLAN driver : http://dell.to/X2BbVV

    Thanks & Regards
