I just format my computer (Dell Inspiron 3521) and for some reason, after entering my service tag into the dell support website to download drivers, none of the ones shown to me work for the wireless card.

I've tried them all, installed all of the chipset drivers, everything else works fine except the wifi adapter. Please help! Any idea how can I fix this? When I open device manager, the only thing that shows unidentified is a Network Controller which I assume is the wireless adapter, however no use on any of the drivers provided by dell on their website.

The card is an AR95XX series unit, otherwise branded as Dell Wireless 1707, drivers for either should work.

Make sure you've enabled the Wifi with the correct FN+?? Key Combination / Dedicated switch or the chip can not power up.
