Dell Inspiron 500M Wifi
You are better off buying a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home router. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your Dell Inspiron 500M. Most USB wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically.
Major symptoms the wireless card will not last the year
- The wireless adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The wireless adapter on your laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The WiFi drops multiple times all the time
