Dell Inspiron N5020 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which just means that you only need to put the adapter into an available USB port and the operating system will take care of the rest. WiFi, or wireless internet, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router. You are better off buying a new wireless 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 because the only thing you have to know is the current operating system on your Dell laptop.
