Dell Inspiron 5160 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. It will be easier to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Searching for a new adapter is simple due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the operating system that is installed on your Dell laptop.
Hints your internal WiFi will die soon
- The wireless adapter on your laptop does not connect at all
