Dell Dimension 5100 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Dell laptop. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
Clues your internal WiFi is in dire straights
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi in your Dell laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- Your wireless internet connection goes out randomly during the day
