Wireless Connection For My Dell Latitude Xt2 Is Not Working

The wireless switch on the right side of the computer is turned on.  When I plugged an ethernet cable into my computer, my computer was able to get onto the internet.  I diagnostic test on my computer said that the radio signal was failing?  Not sure what to do now?

If the diagnostic test said your radio signal was failing, the wireless antenna is probably going bad.  It can be expensive to replace this antenna -- a cheaper alternative is to get an external Wi-Fi adapter, either PCMCIA or USB, whichever will plug into your computer.  These can usually be purchased pretty cheaply from sites like Amazon or Newegg.
