WiFi Problem N4050

I have bought new Inspiron N4050 and installed Windows 7 64 bit in it. It is not connecting to WiFi and whenever i turn on Wifi of my laptop the indicator light remains on for some time and then goes off. I checked control panel to see if any drivers missing . It showed only three drivers missing as shown in picture below then i serached for them on Dell Site by entering my service tag " " and tried installing 3 drivers one by one but none of them worked fine.Can anyone please help.

Hi Wasti k,

Updating Chipset and Wireless driver should resolve the issue. Please update the drivers from the following links:

Chipset: http://dell.to/15ODIAV

Wireless Driver: http://dell.to/129uP3S

Restart the system after each update. Revert for further queries.

Wasti k,

 

Please continue with DELL-Sujatha K

 

Additional information is How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order Installing the Dell System Software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers first, tells the system what is installed on the computer. If these drivers are not installed first, the rest of the drivers will fail to install.

 

Start with the Dell System Software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers and follow the list.

Have you entered your WIFI password? Is your laptop WIFI receiver activated.  Can you get a connection somewhere else.?  Does the computer seach for a connection?
