I am using dell window 8 and i am facing wifi issue in this.

When i try to connect with any wifi network so it says no wifi connection available and a red "X" shows over the wifi icon.

Then i decided to fix this issue ans i started searching on google and i got some solutions like- Go to Network and Sharing Center>> Change Adapter Setting and so on. But when i checked Network and sharing Center in my laptop then i saw there is no option available of WIFI. There are only 2 option showing first one is Ethernet and second one is Bluetooth. Please help me how can i fix this issue i am not able to find the wifi option anytwhere in my laptop.Please tell me a solution to fix this.

    Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the latest Wi-Fi Drivers for your Model Laptop and Operating System from the Laptop manufacturer's website.

    Go to their website > Drivers/software/Support Downloads Section > key in your Model Number and Operating System > download and install the Wi-Fi Drivers for your operating system.

    Also read the Manual for your Model which you should be able to download there, too.

    And some Laptops have a physical switch to turn on Wi-fi.

    Read under these different headers at the above link:

    1. Enable with laptop Wi-Fi button
    2. Enable with laptop Fn and Function key
    3. Enable in Windows

    Note: In Windows 8, when you right-click the Wi-Fi icon, check to see if Airplane Mode is turned on. If it is, turn it off to enable the wireless network card.

    1. Enable in Windows Device Manager.
    2. Enable in CMOS setup

    Cheers.
