So my dell laptop running windows 7 decided this morning to update...well after the update for some reason my internet won't work. Says the network adapter not found. I tried everything I read online. Maybe its not the same problem. It says "no supported Intel wireless network adapter was found". When i open Intel my wifi technology. It wont even connect with the ethernet cable. And yes the internet is working im watching netflix on my ps3 now and WiFi on my phone ...I'm so angry please help..before I throw the damn computer into a rivier thanks

re-install the drivers from the Dell CD if you have it. If not download them from another PC direct to a memory stick then run them from the stick. Or better yet, do a system restore to a date when they worked fine.

Maybe a better way to ask...the windows update messed up the WiFi adapter. Says it needs to reinstall.. But I can't download without internet access and when I plug in the Ethernet cable internet still does not work anyone know how to get on the internet nothing's working for me

Updates are critical to protect the known bugs, disabling them is bad, updating drivers on your own from time to time is best, direct from Dell
