There should be a switch on the side or at the front of the laptop. If the switch is on, then you can also toggle the Wifi on and off by a set of key strokes. Normally you can hit either the ALT, CTRL or FN key + the F1 thru F12 key that toggles the wireless. Most times its the FN key, but I have seen the Alt key used. Press and Hold the FN key then hit the correct F1 thru F12 key that toggles the wireless. The correct F1 thru F12 key will have the wireless icon )))) on it. Normally if you hit the correct keys to toggle the wireless the screen will display Wireless On or Wireless Off.

I m not able to connect to bluetooth and wifi please help!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Your dell bluetooth must be turned on before able to pairing with other compatible device. Please check bluetooth switch on your laptop keyboard ( if there is you must turn it on also). Most of bluetooth devices are compatible.So please try again your bluetooth pairing .

To activate the wifi , you must covered at active wifi area / Wlan ( hotspot), then click your internet connection on right below corner ( beside battery sign) and open network and sharing center,then activate your wifi . This wifi will not work if you are outside wifi covered area.
