Dell Inspiron 5521 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. 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. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, makes use of a wireless adapter in order to talk to your home network. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your Dell laptop.
Major indications of a worsening onboard WiFi
- The WiFi adapter in your Dell laptop will not connect to your router anymore
- The WiFi drops multiple times over and over again
- The wireless adapter driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
