Dell Dimension 9100 Wifi
The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Dell desktop. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Some clues of a bad wireless card
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi adapter in your Dell desktop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless signal has trouble connecting all the time
