After 3 years of struggling with a Dell Latitude E410, I finally got a new laptop assigned. And it’s a speedy one, at least love at first sight. I wonder how long this will stay… My new puppy is a Dell Latitude E4300, as displayed below.

This one has a dual core from intel inside.. joking word game. What did you thought, the processor would be installed at the outside..? In any case I’m going to be double productive from now on!

I wonder how fast I will ruin this computer that it uses all of its memory. So far the graphs look pretty ok!

Yesterday I got a small panic attack, when the wifi of the new puppy didn’t seem to work. The message was saying I needed to check if the Wireless Switch was turned ON . I could feel the my face turning white. As I didn’t have a manual for the Latitude E4300, I wasn’t sure where to find the Wireless Switch. I’ve been looking for the information online, but I couldn’t find any website which could tell me how to turn the Wireless Switch of a Dell Latitude E4300 OFF or ON
So for everybody with the same problem, here comes the solution, on the Dell Latitude E4300, the wireless switch is located on the right side of the laptop, just under the only USB port of the machine. See picture of the Wireless Switch below:

Damnit, what am I supposed to do with only ONE USB port…? What are they thinking at Dell these days?

I’ve had my 4300 for a couple of months – can’t say it’s the best performing laptop I’ve seen but it’s maybe not the worst either. On USB ports, the eSATA port on the left side doubles as a USB port as well, so there are 2 USBs, one firewire, and one very flaky built in wireless antenna.
Thank you so much, I spent several hours wondering what I had done and you solved the problem of no WIFI. cheers
@Eli,
I still miss the great number of USB ports I had in my old Latitude D410!
It had 2 USB ports in the back, and one USB port on the side…
Now I just bought an USB hub on eBay to support my big number of gadgets while I’m traveling.
Thanks a lot!
I spent half an hour trying to connect to wireless network at home before found this page..
fantastic! i would never have found it without your help…
@Rose,
Happy I’ve helped you out, as I couldn’t find it neither myself.

why and external wifi switch? Thanks you helped me out too
Thanks! I just spent and hour trying to figure out how to turn it back on after it mysteriously turned off on the way home. Not a very obvious switch location
I’m so relieved that I’m not the only person who was stymied on where to find the Wifi switch. Thanks for helping me out of the black hole!
Thanks for helping me out!
On the E4300, there’s an engraved icon to the right of the touchpad. It looks like an Ipod with RSS “arrows” coming out of it.
What is this?
Muchas Gracias.
