Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your Dell laptop. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your home network.
Major clues of a worsening onboard WiFi
- The WiFi adapter in your Dell laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The wireless signal disconnects and reconnects over and over again
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
