Dell Latitude D531 Wifi
The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses a piece of hardware in order to talk to your home network. Most USB wireless 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 handle everything from there. 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. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy due to the fact that all you need to know beforehand is what OS you are running on your laptop.
Some clues of a barely functioning onboard WiFi
- Your wireless internet connection disconnects and reconnects every day
- The wireless adapter driver cannot be installed
- The wireless adapter in your Dell laptop is unable to find a signal from your router
