Dell Dimension XPS GEN 3 Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Dell desktop. Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your router and modem. 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.
Key indicators that my wireless card has gone bad?
- Your WiFi on your desktop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi disconnects itself all the time
