I updated my Dell Vostro 3550 Windows 7 Bios to version A11, and when the laptop rebooted, the wifi stopped working?

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you for your post,

The situation you describe would be best discussed with Dell, a BIOS update should not cause any integrated component to stop working.

Problem now solved.

I had to uninstall the driver first, I then windows scan for new hardware and the wireless adapter was now found.

Finally I updated the driver to the latest version

Thanks
