Dell Inspiron 14R 5420 Wifi
It is much simpler to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Dell Inspiron 14R 5420. A lot of newer 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your home router.
