wifi slow connectivity at startup

had my laptop about 2 and a half years now all going fine until a few days ago- when i startup the wifi connection takes about half an hour to recognise my router

i know its not the router as ive tried other devices which connect straight away-it either says no connections avialable for the duration or just shows others-eventually it will recgonise it but this never used to take so long

any advice?

    It's possible that a auto windows update could have caused this, if you believe nothing else changed.

    Use system restore, to go back to before your lappy had trouble finding the router, and see if that helps.

    Let us know,

    Hey Gabby,

    Have you tried running the Dell diagnostics to see if they report any errors?

    Here are some instructions from a Dell support article:
