Dell Dimension 4300 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Dell desktop.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my onboard WiFi is about to stop working?
- The desktop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The wireless signal goes in and out throughout the day
- The WiFi adapter on your desktop will not connect to your router anymore
