Dell Inspiron 15 5545 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your router. You are better off buying a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may 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. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your laptop.
Indications of a worsening WiFi adapter
- The wireless adapter driver cannot be installed
- The WiFi adapter in your Dell laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The WiFi goes in and out during the day
