Dell Inspiron 15 N5040 Wifi
WiFi, or wireless internet, makes use of a wireless adapter to communicate with your home router. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It will be easier to buy a new wireless USB adapter and just plug it in, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have.
