Dell Alienware Aurora R3 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your desktop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
How do you know if your onboard WiFi is about to fail?
- Your WiFi signal disconnects itself all the time
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi in your Dell desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
