I have a new Inspiron 7520 and having issues with connecting to my secure network.   In trying to troubleshoot the issue,  I've discovered I can connect to my network when the connection is unsecured.  When its encrypted, my connection is only limited (no IP address assign).   I've also downloaded and installed the latest drivers with no resolution to my issue.    Any assistance would be appreciated.
