You didn’t mention if this is YOUR wifi network or if you’re using someone else’s. Sounds like your using someone else’s.
If it’s not yours, then the signal you’re using isn’t strong enough to get into your house. Either you’re not getting the same signal you used to, or the weather affects the distance the signal can be transmitted.
Dell can’t fix it because it’s not their problem.
Weather conditions does have major effect on wireless signals, and that is likely whats going on. You may wait a few more days for improvement, or you can try uninstalling and then re-installing your wifi drivers. Also, try inserting a second wifi card or usb wifi, and see if there is difference in signal quality.
Good luck!
