Sorry to have taken this long, however I wanted to try it twice.

I used the first suggestions (Upgrading the BIOS using Dell's "biodisk"
and "syslinux memdisk")

I followed the instructions precicely, all went well until I started
3555A05.exe

The program started and asked one question only:

-Start to flash.........[Y/N]:

I entered Y and was rewarded with a flashing cursor

PERIOD

The first time this happened I waited about an hour before shutting down.
second try ditto

today I did it all over again, including downloading 3555A05.exe

Same result.

Here the output of the suggested commands:

bios-version : A03
bios-release-date: 08/09/2011

      Question #199715

  Asked by ealthuis on 2012-06-07

  I have a Dell laptop with the 1701 Dell Wifi card, also a router which provides Wifi at 2.4 GHz as well as at 5 GHz.
   The 2.4GHz wifi works just fine, but I cannot connect to the 5 GHz Wifi.

  Is there a driver that will correct that problem?
