Hello zimm319,

I am from Dell Social Media and Community.

If the Wireless Network icon has a red X on top of it, it means the device has been disabled.

To enable it, you can open device manager from control panel or click start > Run > devmgmt.msc > right-click your Wireless Adapter and select Enable.

If the Network Adapter icon has an exclamation point on top of a yellow circle it means the drivers were not installed properly and you need to reinstall the drivers.

If you don’t see the wireless adapter under network adapter, click Other devices and look for Ethernet or Network Controller. This means the drivers have not been installed so you have to install the drivers. Uninstall it first by right-clicking the Ethernet or Network Controller then click Uninstall then install the drivers.

Restart your computer.


Let me know if this was helpful, if not I will be glad to assist you further.
