Because the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator is disabled and not configured for use when your computer is shipped to you, you must first use Dell QuickSet to

For more information on the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator and to enable the feature through Dell QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the taskbar and
select Help.

 

Microsoft® Windows® Firewall

Windows Firewall provides basic protection from unauthorized access to your computer while it is connected to the Internet. Windows Firewall is automatically
enabled when you run the Network Setup Wizard.

When Windows Firewall is enabled for a network connection, the firewall icon appears with a red background in the Network Connections section of the
Control Panel.

For more information, click Start®

Control Panel® Security® Windows Firewall, or access the Help and Support Center (click Start® Help and Support).

NOTE:

The Dell Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator light appears only when the computer is turned off and wireless networking is activated in the system

setup program. While working in Microsoft Windows operating systems, the light is designed not to appear.

NOTE:

Enabling Windows Firewall does not reduce the need for virus-checking software.
