dell inspiron n5110

Good day. I am trying to get a wireless driver for a newly installed windows 7 64bit OS, for a dell inspiron n5110 laptop. All other drives installed good, the video driver etc. I got the drives from the dell site. Only the wireless one won’t work. Could it be a wireless hardware issue?
Answer #1
Can you be a bit more specific?
Won’t work don’t tell us much..
Answer #2
The drive is being installed, but the icon is not available to search for networks and connect…also, lan driver installed, but not seeing the icon in the network settings..for both the lan and wireless connection..
Answer #3
Yes, it could be. Some laptop have a button that deactivates the wireless adapter. Try using the driver from the chip manufacturer(usually realtek) and if that still doesn’t work then it can probably be a hardware issue.
Answer #4
I had similiar issue with a dell, I had to push a button on the keyboard to turn the stupid thing on. I racked my brains trying to figure out why it wouldnt work. Then saw the button pressed it and whamo it worked. Good luck!
Answer #5
Can u guys recommend some links to drivers, that i can try for both the lan and wireless drives?

Alternatively you can use a driver finder or pack like http://drp.su/
You could also search for “driver” in the apps section.
