Your Dell has the ability to turn the wifi on and off using the Fn key (lower left on your keyboard) and (If I remember correctly) the F2 key--anyway, it's the function key that has a little picture of a "radio antenna" on it. Hold down the Fn key and then press that other key. The wireless network should then be active.

Where is the "wireless" on/off

First make sure that wireless card is present in your system and it is enabled( Check the BIOS settings).
If so, you can enable/ disable wireless by pressing Fn+F2 keys, and the wi-fi light on the right hand side will turn on.

Let me know if any clarification is needed. Hope this helps!

Wireless Internet wont work unless I plug in a wire

QuickSet utility Wireless options can cause these issues.

There is a setting to always deactivate on battery. Make sure this is not set up. The correct setting would be Always active on battery or Always On, or no power saving options for Wi-Fi. Depending on the version of QuickSet which you have.

Wireless connection

by default, dell systems' switch for wireless can be done by pressing Fn and tap F2. The wifi light should lit up. Your modem is integrated to the motherboard. If you were able to lit up the wifi light, this should be able to detect wireless signals for you to connect to.
