Dell Inspiron 1501 Wifi
It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless 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 to send and receive signals to and from your home network. 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 Inspiron 1501. Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there.
Some warnings to watch for in a failing wireless internet adapter
- The WiFi drops multiple times every day
- The laptop wireless driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
