Dell Inspiron 14 5448 Wifi
Most USB 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 operating system will take care of the rest. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your wireless router or modem. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your laptop.
What happens when my WiFi adapter really needs to be replaced?
- The WiFi has trouble connecting during the day
- The wireless adapter in your Dell laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
