Hi, Steve,

I always reserch what drivers/updates Support Assist says I need, and so 
many times, there's been discrepancies between Support Assist and what 
logging on to the Dell site with my service tag tells me what drivers are 
needed/compatible with my machine.  

I don't have any problems with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so if it ain't broke, 
it doesn't need fixing.

I don't know what Support Assist is good for anymore.  Do you have 
Support Assist installed?  If so, what do you use it for?

Thanks for the reply.
