    Brand new Dell laptop, updated to windows 10 but can't connect to Wifi unless I'm right on top of the router (Dell Wireless 1704 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)) wifi card

    LadyMo,

    Look through the all apps list in your Start menu to see if there is a folder with Dell in its name. If there is open it to see if there is anything with a title such as Dell WiFi utility. If there is then open it and make sure that it has a setting that
    confirms that it allows Windows to control the WiFi card [check its Help & look around the various settings it makes available to you to find out]. If you cannot find such a setting then you can either spend time investigating the subject further or just
    uninstall it to make sure that it is not interfering with Windows' control of the WiFi card. It is possible that Dell no longer puts in these unnecessary utilities [Windows can manage this card without any help from Dell].

    Do remember to search the forum - here's a link
    Dell WiFi 1704
    - to see if there is any useful guidance already. And search the Dell user forums & the Dell website for guidance.

    Where I used revert when referring to Device manager - Device manager, {select the WiFi card}, right-click, Properties, Driver tab, Rollback driver. Then try using it again to see if the previous driver was any better.

    There is one other action that will help you get back to where you started in case your early actions complicated the situation. Many people are reluctant to do this.

    • Go to Device manager, look for the group Network adapters, select the WiFi card, right-click, uninstall.
    • Do the same for the Ethernet card.
    • Reboot the computer.
    • Open Device manager again and you'll find that the system has detected & reinstalled both cards. They will both have the default drivers that come with Windows 10.
    • Doing this will have established a baseline for further troubleshooting that will be clear of the settings you have changed as part of your initial response.
    • See if the Ethernet connects properly to the router [just to get this out of the way so you can then ignore it as I think it is distracting you].
    • Now see how the WiFi card behaves.
    If it is still giving poor reception, use the guide at
    Where to get hardware drivers. The initial step will be using Windows 10 to find & install any updated driver that it thinks is needed. Then test it again. Then try drivers from the WiFi card manufacturer [the initial
    product description or your purchase documentation or the Dell website will identify who made the WiFi card]. Then test it again. Then try whatever driver Dell suggests. Then test it again.

    If it still does not give decent reception, contact Dell support. I imagine your warranty explains how to do so.

    Best of luck,

    Dell Wireless 1704/1708 WiFi Driver not setup withe win10- 1903

    Window's 10 not working with Dell wireless 1704.

    I've upgraded to Windows 10 but the internet connection is spotty. It'll work, then it drops, then it works. I've read on Dell forums that other folks with the Dell 1704 wireless card (which is what I have on my Dell XPS 8700 desktop) get the same spotty
    connection after upgrading to Win 10. I haven't been able to find a solution yet.

    I've done the Win 10 wireless card driver updates from Dell's website and no improvement. I assume I've been doing that correctly: I've downloaded the driver files(s) onto a thumb drive (since I can't get a decent connection on my desktop) and then opening
    the drive on the desktop via the thumb drive, and clicking through the installer prompts, then restarting.

    It's not my DSL modem/router. The wireless worked fine prior to upgrading to Win 10 and all of my other devices are fine with the connection.

    This is my last ditch effort before trying to go back to Win 8.1. I really like Windows 10 and would like to make it work out. Any ideas would be appreciated. Many thanks!
