There are different ways of turning on Wi-Fi in dell systems it always depends upon the model of your system I'll give you all three options.
1: You can press FN+F2 and start wireless connection.
2: Only by pressing F2
3: There will be a slider switch on either side of your system for the Wi-Fi connection you can slide to the number 1 position and the wireless connection will be activated.
