Dell Inspiron 15 N5050 Wifi
Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Dell Inspiron 15 N5050. You are better off buying a common WiFi 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 home router. Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own.
What are the indications that my onboard WiFi is about to go out?
- The wireless adapter in your Dell laptop cannot see the SSID coming from your router
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- Your wireless internet connection drops for no reason during the day
