Dell Alienware ALPHA Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Dell desktop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
Key signs to watch for in a failing onboard WiFi
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless signal goes in and out all the time
