Dell Alienware X51 R2 Wifi
It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home network. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your desktop.
Important signs the wireless card will not live much longer
- The WiFi goes out randomly over and over again
- The desktop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your WiFi on your desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
