Hello RKramden,

What is the full make and model of the laptop? There are a lot of Dell Inspiron models.

Please do the following.

Device Manager
  • Press and hold the Windows button + R on your keyboard.
  • In the Run box type DEVMGMT.MSC and hit Enter.
  • Click the + next to Network Adapters so it expands, showing all installed hardware.
  • Take a screenshot of this window and attach the file in your next post.
  • Alternatively, list all hardware here along with indication of any exclamation points or question marks next to the entries.

Next, with the Ethernet cord disconnected and attempting to connect via wireless, do the following:

IPConfig All
  • Hold the Windows key and press R on your keyboard.
  • In the Run box that appears, type CMD and click on OK.
  • Type the following command:

    IPCONFIG /ALL
  • Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
  • Paste the results in a message here.

Lastly, let's see this:

Ping Test
  • Hold the Windows key and press R on your keyboard.
  • In the Run box that appears, type CMD and click on OK.
  • Type the following command: PING google.com
  • Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
  • Paste the results in a message here.
  • If necessary, use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access for all of the above.
