Dell Inspiron 1470 Wifi
You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may 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 OS will install the drivers on its own. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses an adapter to communicate with your router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is the operating system that is installed on your Dell laptop.
Clues to watch for to know the WiFi adapter has to be replaced
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter on your laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi goes out randomly every day
