I got a brand new dell xps studio 1467 and everything works perfect except one thing. I can't turn the wifi on. I read the manual and it said to tap the button on top of the key board that looks like an antenna but when I do the wifi light doesn't turn on. It says its still disabled. I think I might be missing the wireless drive or a setting is wrong because all it says it plug in ethernet cord but nothing about wifi. I can't figure out how to turn it on or anything. It came with a disk of drivers that said are already installed on computer, a windows 7 cd but I tried reinstalling windows and nothing.

Go to the device manager and see if Wi-Fi card is detected if it is- does it have a yellow exclamation mark near it or not.
While youre at it check what card it is and what driver version it uses. -
There is no wifi car or anything that says wifi under device manager. Under network adapters all it says is broadcom netlink gigabit ethernet.
