So I saw the wifi icon on the bottom right hand corner with a red “X” on it I kept clicking on and opening up the network and sharing center. But having the computer or laptop I’m working on actually online helps a lot. I was working on a Dell Inspiron laptop today and I had to get online in order to download my latest and greatest tools I use to scan for viruses, etc… Actually, I didn’t absolutely “NEED” to get online via wifi, I could just use my jump drive. Turning on and enabling the wireless (wifi) card on the Dell Inspiron laptop can be a bit elusive if you’ve never done it before.
