When i am satrting my wireless on my dell vostro 1510 ... At that time it's only shows bluetooth symbole.... so who can i start my wireless.. in it ..Help me........... My Laptop vostro 1510.....

It sounds like you do not have the driver or the support software for your WiFi adapter installed.
At the Dell Support web site, you can download the appropriate Networking drivers and support software.
Once you've done this, you should see a WiFi utility in the tray with the Bluetooth symbol.

Cant get my wireless connection to work not sure

To enable/disable WLAN, please press "Fn+F11" to execute the device: (then follow below steps accordingly)
Note: there are four stages in all, assumingly both bluetooth and wifi are installed.

First stage : press Fn+F11 = Enable WLAN only
Second stage : press Fn+F11 = Bluetooth On + WLAN Off
Third stage press : Fn+F11 = Bluetooth On + WLAN On
Fourth stage press : Fn+F11 = Bluetooth Off + WLAN Off

After enabling the WLAN, search the Access Point and connect with it. Now, you may use the WLAN.

If this does not work, check if the driver is installed in your computer by going to the device manager. check under network adapters. If the driver is installed, uninstall the current driver and restart the computer.

If the issue still persists, you may download the driver update at the msi website: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1474. Just make sure the driver you're downloading is compatible with yoru operating system

My buletooth is not working

You may have installed the correct driver but does the laptop have a bluetooth component device installed? Check in control panel, system specs.

I have problem with my vostro 1510 wreless, by switching the wireless and bluetooth key on, only the blutooth devise is turn on.

The Dell 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.

It is known to glitch when power is removed from the machine while the wireless is in use.

Please let us know if you have any futher questions. If this information was helpful, please take a moment to rate the solution. Thank you.

I have a new dell vostro 1510 laptop that has bluetooth icon right beside wireless icon on my system.whenever i switch on my wireless and bluetooth switch,it is only the wireless that comes on.i have check...

Boot to the system BIOS and ensure that a Bluetooth card is actually installed and seen by the system. I'm pretty sure bluetooth is a option on the 1510 and you may not have a BT card.
