Dell Inspiron 14R 3421 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Dell laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Clues to watch for to know the WiFi adapter needs a replacement ASAP
- The WiFi adapter driver cannot be installed
- The wireless signal drops for no reason over and over again
- The wireless adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
