Dell Latitude D420 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 OS will install the drivers on its own. It is much simpler to buy a new USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to connect to your router and modem. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Dell Latitude D420.
Subtle cues of a barely functioning onboard WiFi
- The laptop wireless driver suddenly shows as uninstalled
- The WiFi disconnects itself every day
- The WiFi adapter in your Dell laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
