Windows 10: Dell XPS Connects to WiFi but No Signal

Hi everyone, I have a Dell XPS 13 running Windows 10 and it won’t connect to the internet. I have tried multiple networks, and clarified that those networks work on other devices. My computer will connect, but say that there is no signal. I have reset my computer as well as reset my network settings to no avail. Also I have Surfshark VPN if that matters any. Also I have run network diagnostics and it says that no problem is detected. Help is greatly appreciated.

Can't connect to WiFi on Dell XPS Studio 1640




It is a Mini card adapter - deprecated because it is old now, but still should work unless it has a fault.

It could have become unseated (unlikely), or the contacts could have corroded due to condensation or atmospheric deposits, or just a component on the adapter or on the motherboard may have failed.

The simplest action is to remove the back of the laptop, and gently clean the adapter card's contacts using a pencil eraser, or with a Q-tip and electronic contact cleaner fluid.

Youtube has plenty of videos showing disassembly, and the search has links to Dell service manuals that describe the process:

DELL XPS 17 L702X loses bluetooth connection

Hi Paven!

I am sorry but I tried all the steps you suggested with no luck getting Microsoft 5000 Bluetooth mouse to stay conected on the DELL XPS.

It could be that an updated Intel Centrino driver is needed but in going to Intel they say there is no driver update available, albeit DELL does say that this particular machine is not going to be supported under Windows 10.

I also own a DELL Precision 6800 and the new Intel driver did work for the Bluetooth problem on that machine.

I guess we'll just have to wait until a driver is available.

I will also say that I tried to connect an MX Anywhere Bluetooth mouse to the DELL Xps with no luck. It would not even pair or see the mouse.

I have been able to use Bluetooth headphones with the XPS.

Thanks for you help!
