Dell Inspiron N5030 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because all you need to know is what OS you are running on your laptop. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to communicate with your home router. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and just plug it in, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
