Dell Pc Network Driver Windows 10
Ena Baccari
I have a Dell Optiplex Desktop PC. I was having some difficulty with software issues so I reinstalled Windows 7 Professional. The installation was uneventful and all on-board devices (audio, video, USB) were operational with one exception. The on-board network no longer functions. I checked Device Manager and it shows the Network device installed but no driver. I went to the Dell download site and downloaded a network driver. However, Windows 7 does not detect the driver.
Also a new HDD and reinstall of windows seems far even if that was the issue, I feel like this is a large jump in diagnosing an issue that we don't know that much about, especially if your comment was the last on the thread for anyone later visiting."
Your assessment that reinstall is not neccesary assumes that people are willing to remotely try to figure out what is wrong for hours and hours for free via the Psychic Friends Network. I do not know who would be willing to do this so if you do then you should post that as such. Otherwise you can take your indignation elswhere.
This is a Dell Optiplex 9020 Desktop PC. The PC performed correctly before thge reinstallation of Windows 7 Professional. After the Windows reinstall, I can not connect to the internet. I went to Device Manager and discovered that a number of motherboard device drivers are now missing. The missing drivers are:
I downloaded the cab file, unzipped it in the Documents directory, and went to Device Manager. I attempted to first load the Network Device driver. I pointed to the file in the Documents directory and I receive an error message
After SP1 is installed, sign in to your PC. You might see a notification indicating whether the update was successful. If you disabled your antivirus software before the installation, make sure you turn it back on.
Another thing you could try is the Dell Command Update utility. I have an OptiPlex 7040, and he's always able to get updates that way, then again, running Windows 10, build 2004. Not sure how much of a difference that would make, though this does sound a bit familiar to me, too.

A few days ago, after a Windows update, my wireless adapter disappeared in such a way that i can't even try to look for wi-fi connections. As it happened with a similar case here in the forum to Andy Mann, the machine updated and auto-rebooted overnight, and suddenly I had no wireless adapter in the Device Manager, the Network Settings page had no Wireless section, and I thought it was a Windows update problem.
I tried toggling Airplane mode and rebooting a couple of times, but it didn't help. After shutting down the laptop completely and turning it on again, though, the adapter suddenly came back - I don't know which adapter comes with my Inspiron 15, 7559.
The problem is, suddenly, today it happened again, i changed rooms in my house and when i arrived at the living room table, everything was as I'd left it, except that again, the wireless adapter has disappeared, I can't see a Wireless section in Network Settings, and a list of available networks to connect to. I'm using a cable at the moment, but this time it shows no signs of reappearing.
Refreshing ("scan for hardware changes" in Device Manager) doesn't make it reappear either; i updated all possible drivers from windows, delll and intel, rebooted several times, tryied turning it off and on as i did last time, even tryied changing places where the laptop is at, tryied some cmd commands that seemed to fix the problem to people that updated from windows 7/8 to 10, but nothing seems to work for me.
How can i fix this? Please help!
Open Device Manager, open the drop-down Network adpaters
Right-click Network adapters
Select Scan for hardware changes
If you can't see your Wireless adapter, go to step 11
If you can see it, right-click on the adapter
Select Uninstall ( this should only uninstall you driver software, not delete it)
Now right-click Network adapters again
Select Scan for hardware changes. This should re-detect your wireless adapter)
Once detected, restart you machine
Make sure your Wireless adapter in Network And Sharing Center is Enabled. Now try what you have to.
If you cant find you your Wireless adapter device, you may need to properly install a wireless adapter driver. You'll have to do it perfectly, or have a service person do it for your machine
PS: If you want to create a wifi hotspot (when your wireless adapter is working properly), try the following command in Command Prompt
This is just insane, everything was going normally for a while, then i uninstalled McAfee, that comes with the factory settings; after restart, guess what? No wi-fi connections. Waited for a while to see if it would fix by itself, but it didn't.
Tried uninstalling (not deleting) the Wi-fi Driver, rebooted, didn't work. This time, after reboot, the "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless - AC 3165" wasn't there, not even under Hidden Devices. I'm back in the f-ing ethernet cable.
I have a Events log from the wi-fi adapter that i Saved just in case; don't know how to send it to you. I believe that the message i recieved after logging in this morning may be the only lead I have on how to fix this: (""Exception: Acess to the path 'Global\IPROINST_BOOTSTRAPPER_COEX ...").
I have a similar issue with my dell inspiron 7737 on which I'm running windows 10. The Wi-Fi has stopped working, the symbol to turn it on and off on the toolbar is non existent. I can access the internet fine over an Ethernet cable but the wireless driver is showing as not present in settings. The settings menu has no option for Wi-Fi. I have tried a system restore but can't go far enough back due to a system crash. Without the driver being present I can't update it or anything else. Any advice would be appreciated as I'd like to avoid a factory reset if possible. I have tried a network reset but still have this problem.
We have had a string of users with this issue lately. I already discovered that reinstalling the Wi-Fi in Device Manager helps, but why is this happening? It's especially difficult to resolve when you have users who work off-site and far away and the only remedy requires them to be connected via Ethernet. Everybody uses Wi-Fi these days and nobody has an Ethernet cable. So if they can't connect via Ethernet we have no way of dialing in to troubleshoot, and most of our users are not very savvy on how to do this. Has a root cause been identified? If seems like this issue has increased within the last month. We are using Dell 7240's, 7250's, 7270's and 7280's with Windows 7. Thanks!
Just bought my Inspiron 13 7375 - it had issues out of box with the wireless nic not even showing in device manager. I updated firmware to 1.2, downloaded wireless nic drivers off the webpage - and installed. On reboot the nic came up and I thought it was resolved. Powered down my laptop after work, went for a haircut, came home and powered back up - low and behold the wireless nic disappeared again, reboot resolved it again though.
FWIW I have a QCA9377 Nic. I did notice it entirely disappeared from device manager but bluetooth still showed, isnt that typically on the same mini adapter internally? Would love this resolved because other than this issue this thing is incredible. I'm on the latest Windows 10 update.
To know where windows currently is installed go to 'this pc' and look which drive windows logo is at, usually SSD has much less space so if your C drive with thr windows logo is 500GB or 1T, then that's the HDD. While drive D is 119 then it's likely the SSD and that's where you should install windows in.
I have a Dell Wireless 1704.802.11b/g/n that continues to disappear from a laptop. I have to go through the process of uninstalling it and then shutting down the laptop, and letting the laptop find it again on boot up and then I am good for a few days. Seems like it may be tied to Windows Updates, but not sure. This is on a Inspirion 15, Windows 10 Dell Laptop. I have tried a bunch of different solutions from this Dell site, including updating BIOS, checking for latest drivers, disabling BlueTooth devices - and nothing seems like a permanent solution, only thing that bids me the most time in a solution is uninstalling and re-installing the wireless adapter. There is not two drives on the computer - so reinstalling Windows is not an option, and neither is a factory restore. Seems to me with all the posting on this matter, Dell has a defect on these systems. I am a Tech Support person in a company with many Dell laptops and this is the only model with issues.
Has anyone found a fix to this? I just got a 7375 and if it's powered off for more than 5 minutes, the network adapter is not detected. If I restart the computer, it's still not detected. I have to shutdown and push the button to turn it back on and then it works fine. Very annoying.
