Dell Inspiron 1090 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because all you need to know is the current operating system on your laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your wireless router or modem. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Key indicators that my onboard WiFi is about to go out?
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- The wireless signal drops multiple times throughout the day
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
