try and download the latest drivers for the card. see if they improve things. Most Dell laptops use intel wireless cards so get driver from intel.com.

If you're still having probs contact Dell. Could be a fubar'd card, or the aerial wires are not connected correctly.

Also check the Dell website for updates & turn off power saving.
