Dell Inspiron 11 3137 Wifi
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 Dell laptop. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with 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. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically.
Some warnings to watch for in a failing wireless card
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi has trouble connecting throughout the day
- The wireless adapter on your laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
