I have a Dell Laptop Vostro 3555 with a Dell wireless 1701 802.11b/g/n network adapter made by Broadcom. The Device status: this device is working properly. This was a window 7 moved to a window 10. And I am not getting any X's of yellow signs in device manager.
Issue: The WiFi will not turn on. Will not show any access points to connect to.
What I have tried in order to fix the issue:
- Download new driver from dell
- [Function key] + F2
- can not do ipconfig /release ../renew because it says
Media disconnected
- Wireless properties > Power Management > UNCHECK allow computer to turn off device to save power
- Tried kb3084164 issue https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3084164
It might just me a bad card? What other steps can I perform to solve the issue before opening up the laptop.
