Dell Inspiron 1721 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless 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 install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home network. It is cheaper and easier to purchase a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. Searching for a new adapter is simple because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Dell Inspiron 1721.
