Dell Inspiron N7010 Wifi
Most USB wireless adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the OS will install the drivers on its own. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware to send and receive signals to and from your router and modem. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is the current operating system on your Dell laptop.
What red flags are there that my WiFi adapter really needs to be replaced?
- Your WiFi in your Dell laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- The WiFi goes in and out over and over again
