Dell Inspiron 1120 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your home router. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your laptop. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
General indicators that your internal WiFi is on its last leg
- Your WiFi signal drops multiple times over and over again
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
